I have no personal interested in either company.

Looking at this engine as an option for the RV-8.

I have made some modifications to the intake and exhaust, so I can not yet estimate the HP that I will be getting. When doing wide open throttle testing, my intake manifold gave about 20 RPM more than the factory stock intake. Subaru claims that the SVX engine puts out 230 HP in the stock ( non turbo ) configuration.

As is. __________________________________ ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:26:05 PM PST US From: "Tracy Crook" Subject: Re: Engines-List: Eggenfellner 6 cyl --> Engines-List message posted by: "Tracy Crook" > --> Engines-List message posted by: Don.Alexander@AstenJohnson.com > > > Listers, > Do any of you have any idea what the anticipated output of the 6 cyl > normally aspirated Subaru conversion is supposed to be? Looking at this > engine as an option for the RV-8. > Do Not Archive > Don Alexander Here's my favorite method of "sanity checking" HP claims and estimating HP on prospective engines. Calculate the theoretical CFM of the engine at max HP rpm. It takes about 1.59 cfm of fuel air mixture to make 1 HP. For instance, an O - 360 at 2750 rpm calculates out to 286 cfm. (remember to divide piston engine CI by 2 because it takes two revs to pump all of its cubes) Divide this by 1.59 and you get 180 HP. If the answer comes out much different than what the maker says their engine makes, be very suspicious. This method applies only to normally aspirated engines of course.

You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Engines-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Engines-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Engines-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. -------
