Hi All, Well the age old question, Which engine to use for my KR2S??? Here in Australia we have an engine manufacturing facility for light aircraft engines called Jabiru, and from all accounts they are first class engines. This is what I was at first going to use. However the price is fairly high at just over $18000 AUD for a six cylinder 3300 cc model producing 120 hp. At only 178 lbs in weight they are ideal power plants though a little out of my price range !!! My question is if I go for a VW engine what size do I need for over 100 hp, and can I get a kit of accessories for it, and build an engine from the wrecking yard to fit them to??? Which model VW do I need? What about Corvair engines for Australia ( we don't have them here ) How would I get one over here and what's available to help me build one??? How much are they second hand, and are there any left of the correct model for modification?? Hows the weight of an O200 conti compare to these options ?
