According to Steve Parkman's web page, the Geo three cylinderengine with his direct port injection develops 64 hp at 4800rpm. Parkman sells a book that describes how to add theinjection system, including where to buy the parts and thepart numbers. He also sells a silent chain reduction drivekit. He has been flying one of these engines and thereduction drive on what he calls a "glass Jenny" for severalhundred hours.Don't have the web page url handy, but you can search for iteasily enough. Come to think of it, I think I got the urlout of the classified advertising in Sport Aviation.Hope this helps someone.Mike________________________________________________________________________________

I looked into the geo engines and found that they are a nice little package. I think that they would be much to light for the piet, but neat non the less. If I were to use a geo I would buy the RAVEN reduction drive. I have visited their factory and asked all kinds of questions. They have done their homework and have developed a very solid drive that also solves several problems like distributor location and water pump integration. Anyone considering a Geo owes it to themselves to check out Raven.Stevee.I'd just love to design a plane around that package.On Thursday, April 23, 1998 9:11 PM, MikeHinchman [SMTP:mikehi(at)molalla.net] wrote:> According to Steve Parkman's web page, the Geo three cylinder> engine with his direct port injection develops 64 hp at 4800> rpm.

I was told at one time that there is a four cylinder version of this enginethat is basically just the addition of one more cylinder, same attach pointson the drive end. So it could be used with the same reduction drive (if itwas capable of handling the torque.) I think the engine was used in theSuziki Samari. It was about 85 Hp as I remember.Jim S.________________________________________________________________________________

According to Parkman's information on his web page, thefour cylinder Geo engine develops 79 hp at 4800 rpm withhis direct port fuel injection. Weighs a bit more than thethree cylinder, but not a heck of a lot. The Subaru EA-81develops 85 hp, according to Parkman, with his FI, but Idon't recall the operating RPM for that power output. It,too, weighs less than the model A, but I don't recall theweight. All this info is available on Parkman's web page,with a bunch of photos. You can also send him email and askquestions.Mike________________________________________________________________________________
