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.

Subaru BRZ tS is the ‘Sporty’ BRZ STI with no more go
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Subaru BRZ tS (pictured) more show – no more go When we ran the tease photo for what appeared to be the Subaru BRZ STI, we did hope this would be the BRZ with more power. After all, STI (Subaru Tecnica International) is the go faster bit of Subaru so it seemed to be pointing in the right direction, a direction lovers of the BRZ (and its sibling, the Toyota GT86) have been hoping for since it arrived – one with more power. But this isn’t the Subaru equivalent of a BMW M or a Mercedes AMG, its more the equivalent of BMW Performance Parts, where Subaru’s STI division have kitted out a standard car with bolt on modifications and called it the Subaru BRZ tS.
ESP could save 380 lives a year
Tue, 19 Jun 2007By Ben Shacham Motor Industry 19 June 2007 12:24 The campaign to make electronic stability control (ESC) standard on all new cars by 2012 is gathering momentum - and it could save 380 lives a year, say ministers. The UK's Department for Transport today claimed that hundreds of lives could be saved every year if all new cars had stability control fitted - totalling 4000 lives across Europe. A campaign to raise awareness of the potential benefits of ESC was launched last month in Rome by European commissioners and FIA president Max Mosley.
