I changed the SUBJECT line above to make this easier to follow ...
Just a thought for those working on Subaru conversions -
the Murphy factory cowling for the Rotax 912 would likely fit nicely,
as it has LOTS of room, AND a position already molded in for a VW
radiator, horizontally at the bottom. Might be worth a look ....
Rick Abbott, in Newfoundland, had a custom production mold
made for his Subaru conversion. I understand that cowlings pulled
from that mold are available from Crossflow Engineering. They also
make a BEAUTIFUL formed metal cowling (but it is VERY pricey !!!)

EFIJoel some questions re your engine. I believe it's an EJ-22? Are you usingYup, it's an EJ-22. I've installed two Weber 44mm two barrel carbs inor have you installed carbs? ...The box on top?
(maybeof the EFI. I just feel more comfortable with gravity fed carbs than the
complexity of EFI with the high pressure fuel pump and the need to plumb a
return line to the tanks and all. Not to mention the dragons that live in
the ECU that knowone even knows about. Iv'e heard that in some ECU's
eachnot soob's - I dunno), if the alternator fails, it assumes the engine isn't
running and shuts off the fuel pump! Now I know that would be easy enough
to work around with a manual switch to the pump, but what other suprises
might be lurking in there?
I built the redrive myself. I got plans from RFI for it so I know theWho's redrive are you using?
design is proven. I did make a few mods though. The front bearing support
is much more ridgid than the plans call for. I also used plenty of dowel
pins to hold everything in alignment when it is assembled.
It's a Harrison heat exchanger (GM A/C evaporator core). I have one onwhat size rad is that and what is it out of etc etc.
airside. I was planning to have the air inlets on each side of the prop as
normal and have some reverse scoops on the sides of the cowl to suck the
through the exchangers. Dave Bangle's setup has a radiator across the
bottom and a duct so the hot air is dumped out the normal bottom cowl
opening. That setup seems to work well for Dave and I might do something
similar. Not sure I'll like the looks of the scoops on the side of the
cowl.
