And what would the equivalent price list be for a Lycoming overhaul? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31/07/03 8:39:09 >>> Sounds interesting, but apart from lower fuel consumption (maybe) , I wonder if this engine would indeed be any cheaper to run than a Lycoming. Recent enquiries by myself has revealed that a 914 Turbo (110hp) has a close to A$18000 parts list for a 1200hr o'haul. A new 914 Turbo is approx $30000. I can't see the V6 coming in under $40000, with an overhaul price to match.
