Hello Pieters.Funny that Allen Smith came up with this discussion about using a 1.9 litre VW Diesel right now. Last weekend I meet my EAA controller and he suggested the same solution for my Peit project. Where I live in the middle of Sweden it seems impossible to get hold of a Corvair engine and I want something more powerful than an A-Ford conversion. The idea of using a fuel-cooled Continental does not fancy my wallet at all.I am certainly going to look into this idea some more and it would be nice if you guys keep sharing your ideas with the rest of us in this forum.We have had the warmest summer in history in this country and I have not wasted many days in the workshop. That is for the fall and the long winter.Instead I have been flying my glider and towing other fellows with the clubs PA-25 Pawnee. Very good landing training.I have decided to stop using recorsinol-fenol adhesive witch I do not feel is really up to the job and I am currently trying T-88 instead.I am also going to use a built up spar. It will consist of 5 pieces of 1 x 1 ribs of fur glued together and then machined to the right size. The Swedish EAA says that this will be more than sufficient.Jannica WungeBorlangeSwedenMed MSN Foto kan du enkelt dela med dig av dina fotografier och bestlla kopior: http://photos.msn.se________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:57:14 -0500

I have thought about this a few years ago, attached are some curves and details on the industrial applications motor. Good luck it looks heavy at 135kg with a large alternator before cooling system but I will keep an eye on progress in this area. JP fuel is cheaper and safer and once compresion if ignition is running little can go wrong except I believe the Direct Injection is controlled by a non redundant solidstate computer. I believe in germany the same motor is chipped for 140hp and aftermarket chips are availble in the states that accomplish the same. Possibly a chiped motor coud get 65hp at some usable RPM.
