Subaru Super Charged Aircraft Engine on 2040-parts.com
Malibu, California, US
Subaru 2.5 liter aircraft engine - 165 hp - 300 ft. lbs of torque with super charger. I don't believe that the super charger adds to the horse power but it may a little. The main use is to
maintain the horse power to a higher altitude. I am told that the conversion was done by Eggenfellner. The engine has 157 hrs. total time. During cruise flight, the propeller reduction
drive broke - the engine was shut down and the aircraft made a forced landing in a plowed field. Two of the carbon fiber blades were broken off - the third survived. Visible damage to
the engine includes the radiators, one maybe repairable, one probably should be replaced along with the oil cooler. One ear was broken on the super charger - it has been repaired. The starter
motor has one broken ear - not repaired - I would replace with new as they are inexpensive. Now for the good part - all of the wiring harnesses are fully in tact, dual fuel pumps, computer,
switches, circuit breakers etc. are all in good shape. Also have the damaged gear reduction box, probably not repairable - let me know if you are interested in it. I am told these conversions cost in the neighborhood of $20,000.
I will mount on pallet and crate for cost of materials only.
Shipping is your responsibility, however, I will help you load for free if you are picking up.
Additional pictures are available by email. Because the engine was shut down prior to landing, there was no damage to the crank shaft or the basic engine. All damage was confined
to prop, gear reduction and accessories.

RV9-A was a 2005 model - N362TS, s/n 90538
Engine is available for viewing, purchase and pickup right now.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009FAW's Hong Qi Limo - a snip at £720k It would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, but this week China has seen the reveal of two cars that would stretch even the finances of a Western plutocrat. The Hong Qi State Limo is a behemoth of a car designed to ferry China’s elite in safety and comfort. It was used in China’s recent 2009 ‘Review of the Troops’ to chauffeur Chairman Hu.
Green Car Award Winners – all more polluting than a Porsche 911
Fri, 16 Jul 2010The Porsche 911 Carrera - less polluting than the What Car Green Car Award Winners Earlier today we did a round-up of this year’s What Car Green Car Award winners. Which many find of interest as they believe the right thing to do is buy a car with low CO2 emissions. Regular readers will know that we are not impressed with the obsession with CO2 and want Governments to stop taxing motorists based on the nonsense that CO2 is harmful, and instead base taxation and future objectives for the car industry on what really matters – emissions from cars that are detrimental to health.
Nissan releases new Qashqai teaser image (2013)
Mon, 28 Oct 2013By Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 28 October 2013 11:45 The new Nissan Qashqai will be revealed on 7 November 2013, and Nissan has created this teaser image of the car, revealing nothing more than a hint of the LED running lights and new grille design on the car. However, thanks to CAR’s previous spy shots story, we can dive beneath the veil and reveal a little more about the new family crossover. Taking cues from the Resonance SUV concept first shown at the 2013 Detroit motor show, the new Qashqai wears a sharper suit than the outgoing car, employing a bold front grille which frames its Nissan badge in a prominent chromed U-shape signature.
