Default New diesel engine from Subaru...

2L TDIO, All aluminum block/head, boosted, intercooled, 258 pound-feet
of torque @ 1,800 rpm. Probably a terrible engine for a car. But for
an airplane....

Haven't found the weight yet.


Not the first I hear about it. As I understand it is a modification of
their petrol boxers so the weight should be comparable. Their petrol
boxers can work well in planes, I entertain great hopes in this diesel!
Especially as there's an able Subaru plane converter nearby.
