I believe Porsche dropped the idea of powering aircraft with their flat sixes due to liability concerns as well as other factors.

QUOTE(sam quartermain @ Feb 23 2009, 01:27 PM)  I came across this website and though it would be super cool to put one of these plane engines in a 914 . I was a huge subaru engine fan. But radiator in the front trunk. I 'm not trying to chop up the front truck. Still looking for a 914 to buy and start tinkering with. just though I could get some feed back on how complex it would be to use these : lycomeing: engine's , they even have a flat , 8 !!!!!!!!! http://www.lycoming.textron.com/engines/se...es-engines.html http://www.lycoming.textron.com/engines/se...es-engines.html |

in regards to losing the front trunk for a suby look at jak rizo's super beetle install at aussieveedubbers.com he has an update there.
he only used the spare tire area., races in the porsche club circuit tracks , drags the oil pan on the street and uses it for a work car getting 39 mpg ave, the porsche club president said it compared with and 930 turbo for performance. setup to break the cheapist of parts if need be. not a super hp setup just well setup, about 200 hp to the wheels. the rest you can find there. was thinking of this conversion until I saw the 914, again.

Just think...
At the same time this thread is going on, chances are good that someone in a parallel universe is wanting to put a 914 engine in their airplane... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.vw-engines.com/images/RG2000-1.JPG) |
