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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:09:58 AM PST US From: Ken Subject: Re: Engines-List: Engines List: Subaru EA82 on juliet --> Engines-List message posted by: Ken Todd 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.

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?

In case you aren't fimaliar with PowerFlow, it's a tuned exhaust (headers) for the Grumman.
