Hi Paul. Does anyone make an adapter and hub for a direct drive 13b?

I

am

thinking of putting one in my kr2, but do not need the psru because

of

the

weight. I think a direct drive should put out 95-105 HP.

It would be heavy too for only 95 to 100 HP. What does a VW engine

weigh?

The engine thrust bearing is an issue with direct drive. You might be
able to change the stock Mazda thrust bearing out for a more durable
design.

What about a one rotor?

Direct drive one rotor? About 50 HP I would guess. The thrust bearing
might hold up with only 50 HP.

No, I meant one rotor with gear reduction for 80-100 hp.
