Weight is low, about 99kg included prop (10kg) muffler, gearbox, mount, cowlings. 10/12 liter p/hour. 110 hp In europe you can buy the gearbox and a plug computer, whe will try to use the original computer but if doesnt work we will by the plug and play. One of the cherry bx2 builders made a video on youtube about the bmw engine. Search on youtube atcherry bmw 1200 And for the gearbox info Google takeoff bleidiesel. if we have the engine running with the original computer I will let you know.(this will be in a few months) Stef Steph and his dad are building the KR-2S see http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2 >Origineel Bericht >Van : krnet at list.krnet.org >Datum : 04/03/2016 22:32 >Aan : krnet at list.krnet.org >Cc : bjoenunley at gmail.com >Onderwerp : KR> Alternative Engines > > > >Dear All, >I am in search of an affordable engine, as we all are. ?My dream is to have an >O200 because I would like to have 100HP, not much luck finding one that I can >afford.? >?What experience do you have with other engines? ? >I have searched for a corvair. >I purchased a 110HP Honda engine but couldn't reprogram the cpu. >I like the BMW motorcycle engine but feel that I'd have the same problem with >the cpu. >The Yamaha Genesis three cylinder 130HP snowmobile engine could be promising. >Old Subaru engines are a possibility, still have a cpu. >I am confident that I can build a belt driven redrive to fit most anything. >Thank you for your wisdom. >Joe Nunley?CW2 US Army RetiredBaker JROTC Instructor?Baker Florida? >___ >Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search. >To UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to KRnet-leave at list.krnet.org >please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html >see http://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet_list.krnet.org to change >options >

Joe, I went the Subaru route and got quite far. If you are interested e-mail me directly at steate at compositecooling.com and I will give you all the details.

What BMW motorcycle engine are you talking about? Plenty of their bikes date back to the era before CPUs and use a pair of Bing carburetors. (And virtually all old motorcycle engines can be fitted with electronic ignitions. I have one on my 1972 Norton Commando).

Having said that, with the money you'll put into a Corvair, or even a new VW, you could spend a little more and rebuild an O-200 and have a very reliable engine as well. If reliability is your ultimate goal, you should keep beating the bushes for an inexpensive O-200. If they are simply out of range, the Corvair is a good runner-up, and statistically, a reground stock crank is a pretty good bet, given that only one has failed with a fifth bearing, as far as I know...mine!

Dear All, I am in search of an affordable engine, as we all are. ?My dream is to have an O200 because I would like to have 100HP, not much luck finding one that I can afford.? ?What experience do you have with other engines? ? I have searched for a corvair. I purchased a 110HP Honda engine but couldn't reprogram the cpu. I like the BMW motorcycle engine but feel that I'd have the same problem with the cpu. The Yamaha Genesis three cylinder 130HP snowmobile engine could be promising. Old Subaru engines are a possibility, still have a cpu. I am confident that I can build a belt driven redrive to fit most anything. Thank you for your wisdom. Joe Nunley?CW2 US Army RetiredBaker JROTC Instructor?Baker Florida?

Netters: I read an article in the Oct. 26th Wall Street Journal that drew my attention to Fiat's 1.3 liter (1259 cc) Diesel engine that is being used in many Euro small cars. This peeked my interest in light of a couple of entrys that appeared on this forum so I investigated on the net. The performance specs for that engine are 69 hp and 125 ft. lb of torque at 2000 rpm which is interesting. What I have not been able to find is the weight of this engine with its injector pump and all things needed to make it run plus of course the cooling and electrical systems. I invision then that it would need to find "Jet A" or the diesel fuel used by the military to be acceptable. Are their any KR-Netters out there that can obtain weights and reliability info on this engine? This may need to come from some of Non-USA contributers since diesel are not all that common here.

Don, I will try and do some research on the Fiat. For that hp, it must be a turbo diesel. As for the fuel, the French guru of Diesel, Serge Pennec, says you can use Jet A1 in a conventional Diesel. All you have to do is mix it with a bit of oil.
