Hello list,
I have recently come across a Subaru EA82 Turbocharged engine with about 70 aircraft
hours on it in very good shape. It even has the PSRU. What do you think
one would be worth? and Do you think it is one of the better auto to aircraft
engines to use for an experimental aircraft?
Thanks for the help,
Todd Baslee

It is one of the better engines although a bit heavier than the older
non OHV EA81 but it depends on what you want to do with it. I'd probably
value it somewhere between zero and $8k. but judging by how few details
you've given in your question, unless it's free, I'd suggest you avoid
it until doing a fair bit of research such as type of psru and ratio,
weight, who put the package together and what problems are typical, why
is it for sale, has the engine been internally modified and how, is
there prop offset and does it suit your aircraft, dual ignition, carb or
efi, do you want dual batteries and/or dual alternators, etc, etc. Many
psru's are time bombs unless it has demonstrated reliability with the
same prop and airframe... Most conversions are lousy replacements for
something like a Rotax 912 unless you are certain the airframe can carry
the weight safely. Almost all produce less power than claimed. However
if the answers suit your application it can be a wonderful installation.
There are a couple of Subaru dedicated engine lists such as Airsoob and
Flysoob that you might want to subscribe to or check their archives.

This may be a wild longshot, though maybe not. Any chance #3 runs hotter
because of different exhaust tuning? If #3's exhaust pipe is not resonant at
the same place the others are that also can make a difference. Exhaust was
part of my old VW's problem with hot cylinders. Do all these Lyc's with this
issue have same/similar exhaust?

Yes, but when a PowerFlow exhaust is installed, #3 is still the hot one. In
case you aren't fimaliar with PowerFlow, it's a tuned exhaust (headers) for
the Grumman.
