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.
178kg 392lbs
290lbs for one XP360....

But I'm sure many kg may be remove for airplane conversion. You kneed
to add a reduction unit.
Subaru claims this engine is smoother than L4....

How big a prop do you want to spin? with 258 torque available at 1800,
assuming a fairly flat power curve you have 135 HP at 2800 RPM. Not
bad for what would likely turn out to be a 300 lb engine stripped for
flight.
