I've been reading about Duane W's Subaru powered Piet, and wondered about theconversion used. Is it direct drive? Does it use carburation or fuelinjection? Mag or distributor ignition? How about weight? Could we getDuane to fill us in on this? I'm sure his information will be of interest tomany of us. Thanx!

I'm sure his information will be of interesttomany of us. Thanx! Don CooleyI'll do my best to reply here. Duane is busy building an addition to hishouse and doesn't have web or computer access. Still trying to get him towrite this up. Anyway here goes.Duane used an ea-81 built his own intake and cooling systems. He orderedplans for the redrive 2.1 or 2.0 to 1 and had a local machine shop build theredrive. He uses the stock distributor modified slightly with an electronicignition. He used dual mikuni carbs. Getting the mixture right hasabsorbed a lot of time. He is on his second prop and likely will carve athird to get things just right. 250lbs seems to stick in my mindStevee________________________________________________________________________________
