Do you think I could talk to your brother about this engine? My interest is for use in a homebuilt airplane, so anybody like him with hands-on experience would have invaluable insights.
The fact that it has a
factory turbo helps a whole lot, as plumbing and compatibility issues were already sorted out by factory experts.
That it has good low end grunt is also wonderful from an airplane perspective, keeping revs low and propeller tip speeds subsonic.
Any further advice or insights much appreciated!
