Hi everyone in KR land,
It's Ron and I have a never used, zero time, never mounted 2600cc
VW/Porsche Type 4 engine for sale. The engine was originally built by
Great Planes Aircraft after which it was given to Revmaster Aviation
for modification and testing.
Revmaster installed a turbocharger, Revflow carburetor, custom exhaust,
oil cooler, HD prop flange and provided the machining necessary to
attach oil pressure, oil temp, EGT, CHT and manifold pressure
instrumentation as well as various other work (all documentation comes
with engine).
Dyno test showed that the engine developed 100 hp @ 3400 rpm @ 36"
manifold pressure and an amazing 119 hp @ 3400 rpm @ 40" manifold
pressure (original test charts come with engine).
The engine was to be installed on a KR-2S, which quite frankly, I'm
wondering now if I'll ever have time and money to finish (I started
this project in 1994...I was so much younger then).
The engine was built in hopes of contending for the Nobel Prize for
Pocket Rocketry. Maybe someone out there can use this engine and still
win it.
The "I'm willing to take a real hosing" asking price is $8500 f.o.b.
Curlew, WA but I will, of course, consider any serious and reasonable
offer. Compared to the cost of any other engine boasting a proven 119
hp, this is a great buy.
