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. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
