H aha ha.

  

 Seriously, any way to not spend 40k on an  engine?

I am going with the Eggenfellner H-6 turbocharged  on my -10.  I will be receiving the engine in November, and am going to  Florida for a demo ride in Jan's H-6 equipped RV this coming weekend.  The  cost is $25K firewall forward.  Yes, I have heard all the negative press,  but seems to me, that there are lots of advantages that offset the minor loss in  horsepower, and that minor loss goes away at higher altitudes because of the  turbocharging.  And, all those people who are criticizing the engine, for  the most part, have not flown it.

as far as I can tell the Eggenfellner Subaru seems  to be the best choice.....I really wish those clowns at Honda would go ahead  with their program, it looked really promising.

You could spend $25K on an  Eggenfellner...

I agree with your assessment.  I'm looking  forward to hearing how it flies and how your demo flight goes.  It will be  interesting to hear how 220HP flies in the -10.

Yes we cannot aford 40 grand so we are going with  an overhauled engine saving about 15 grand!

I wish I knew how to do that - I'm not an engine  junkie.  I can do the rest, including all the electronics no problem, but  I'm no expert with a piston.

How about $32K for a first run IO-540 with new cylinders, EIS ignition, and overhaul?

AirTech, near Orlando, FL.  Richard Waters owns it and is who I dealt with.  My engine came off of a R44 in France with 1400 hours on it.  Engine had been in his shop and pickled since 2003 or 2004.  He reconfigured it to IO540 C4B5/D4A5 from the helicopter config, overhauled, installed new cylinders, Fuel injection spider, and shipped the EIS boxes in the crate with the engine.  Straight overhaul was about $27K, added the other ~$7K for Cylinders and EIS.  

   

Cores are fairly rare.  He says he likes to deal with European suppliers because they’re fairer about the raw product he buys.  Dunno, but he’s been in business around 30+ years.  

   

Remember, the only difference between C4B5 and D4A5 is how you operate it.  

   

Engine is in the crate at the airport wrapped up waiting for me to get the fuse on the gear
