GeneralDisorder Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 i think he's saying it would be a nice and easy upgrade to the EA82 without doing a complete EJ swap which requires extensive wiring and computer work. You can run a Ford Escort disty off the passenger head, and make an adaptor to fit a Weber or another carb where the throttle body is on the manifold - it doesn't *have* to be FI. It can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldDiggerRoo Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I hate to dig this thread back up, but I'm doing it anyway. Found someone with an EA82 powered plane, there's some info and some crappy pics of it, the KR2S. http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kro10_96.html The guy is getting 125mph cruise speed out of a carbed EA82, not bad......still don't know if I'd trust the t-belts for the "cross country" he built the plane for. Apparently the guy couldn't get his carb issues sorted out and eventually changed to a Jabiru engine, the plane was still flying as of 2004.

beataru Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 back when I interned at chandler air service... I learned all the terms and phonetic alphabet and blah blah... but i did learn that when you say cross country, it means 50 miles or more.
