Joe,
How does Ram compare with Eggenfeller?

Okay, Darin, let's talk about the RAM engine.
First of all, the only part of that engine that is Subaru is the
block,
crank shaft, and cam shaft. After
that all of the other parts have been improved by Ron over the
last 25 years
including reworking the block putting more pins in it, cutting
more oil
journals, etc. It has cast aluminum forged pistons, new main
and rod
bearings, new water pump, new oil pump, stainless steel new
intake valves,
stainless steel exhaust valves, high performance valve springs,
reground cam
and lifters, extra bushings on the mains, extra oiling to the
thrust main
that is also teflon coated, flowed dual port heads, tuned
exhaust and a lot
more goodies. It really isn't a Subaru anymore; it's a RAM.
I just purchased one six months ago and it's climbing at over
1800 fpm on my
601XL. (you need to run a Prince PT Prop) It is one fine
engine. My
engine is not 140 hp; mine is 130 hp. The engine block and
internal parts
are the same as the 140;
the 140 has electronic fuel injection and mine has a throttle
body. (I
suggest the electronic fuel injection; it's much better) There
are a lot
more goodies in the engine that make it a lot better than I've
stated. If
you really want to know about it, go to his website at
info@ramengines.com
I'm very happy with mine. Although I would like to add this, if
you're
thinking seriously of buying a RAM engine, you need to give him
plenty of
lead time as he is not spitting these engines out. Just
remember, Ron is
a custom engine builder. And, as far as I can tell, he is the
BEST out
there, bar none.
As far as the weight, mine does weigh under 200 lbs. and I'm
sure it would
blow the wings off of a 912S and I don't have a turbo. If you
think you
want a turbo engine, Ron has a 200 hp turbo that can compete
with anything
out there.
THANKS.
Joe N101HD
P.S. The last test flight mine jumped off the ground at 150 ft.

Thanks guys, I have been looking at the Egg H6 which comes with an
optional turbo rated 180-210 HP. I would like to compare that with the
RAM product for weight etc. Time to do more research.
