No experience, but a question. Are these the same people, HKS, that
make turbos for rice burners? Bryan "smjmitchell" wrote in message . au... Does anyone have any comments .. good or bad about the HKS-700E engine ?

From what I hear, their turbos are very well received. People are
happy with their turbos for cars and bikes. They are a ligitimate company in that respect. They are probably good with their aircraft engine too.Probably just as good as Rotax, Cayuna and the rest. Bryan "smjmitchell" wrote in message . au... I believe so ... .

As a non-pilot techy guy, I hardly feel qualified to reply, but at
least one source is Olenik Aviation http://www.buyitsellitfixit.com/ further, http://www.buyitsellitfixit.com/hks_700-e.htm His interest is mostly in ultralights, but his numbers make this one look good for someone who needs an engine in the 60HP range. I don't know from what it is derived, but they advertise a TBO of 800 hours, not unlike what some auto conversions seem to like. At the least, further informstion should be available there.
