FA: 75 hp Revmaster VW engine w/accessories

My EAA Chapter is selling the VW engine that was destined for the Kolb Mark
III chapter project before determining it put the CG too far aft. The engine
comes complete with all the accessories, ready to bolt on, including: dual
ignition, carbeurator, alternator, exhaust, carb heat, tach, oil temp, 2 CHT
sensors, AND propellor, cooling scoops, and fairing for a pusher
configuration. Should just need a different prop and exhuast for tractor
configuation.

Worth three times the Buy It Now price!

Come on Barnyard Bob, I know you want this! =D

Geez, I'd love too, but Morgans won't let me.
He sez it looks too much like an aircraft engine
and has no "benefits" of a real auto engine. g

Have you tried Jay?
He might spring for a pair of these puppies.....
if they ain't too reliable.

Mind blowing....
Absolutely mind blowing.

Are you sure it's the VW's butt that's the problem? big grin

OOOOH! THAT HURTS! :-)

Although I am slightly over one standard FAA person, not by much.

I do tend to believe Vwub's articles that peg the VW at around 40 hp as much
more realistic. That is a lot of weight for that amount of power.

Let's put it this way... I don't have any room to talk

As far as the engine is concerned I know it's 2180cc, which everyone calls
75hp, though I'm pretty sure that's takeoff power and not continuous.

Using the standard 2 cubic inches per HP that is common to Lycomings and
Continentals, 2180cc = 133 ci = 66.5 HP, which is probably a more realistic
number.

BTW I hope reliability isn't too bad.. I'm gonna be flying behind a Great
Plains 2180cc VW soon!

You know I would never, never rain on your parade g,
but.... the local KR2 here at 3GV hasn't flown in years.
The VW engine quit so many times, the owner-builder
finally wised up and quit, too. No further details.

For other VW info, you can axe my nephoo, John Stricker.
He has a friend that has agonized with 'em for many years.
The aero conversion news is not what you want to hear.

BTW..
Good luck with your 'GREAT PAINS 2180'. {8-D

what you don't know can quickly do you in.

This assumes you need to turn a 6 foot diameter propeller, which seems pretty
generous for the power. I calculate nearly 80 HP at about 3200 rpm, which is
similar to the crankshaft speed of the Jabiru engines, so the 75 HP figure
should be acheivable.

Hopefully, any resonance problems have been dealt with by the engine or
crankshaft manufacturer, and you are using the same propeller as they recommend.
