Hello Paul,
Has any one got photos of the renesis engine without the manifolds on.
I have the chance to purchase an engine at the right price and was looking at the
difference between the earlier model.
Any photos that may give me some idea to how much work it would be to
make the intake manifold

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the photos of the Renesis engine.
Things are going fine at this time. I have finished my new hanger out
at Serpentine and have settled back in to doing some flying.
I purchased a 2200 Jabiru and am now getting a lot of flying time up.
This plane is UAF registration so I had to do a five hour conversion.
There is a lot of new regulation coming into force in the new year and
UAF and VHF may be combined, the air space has been opened up to the
private pilot as of this month.
Hense the the reduction of in weight in the Mustang. AUF has a
MOTW of 1200 lbs. I can get there without the heavy Turbo?


Paul do you have the weight of the Renisis engine.
I hope to get up to Perth today or Monday to try and weight the engine
they have for me if I decide to take it.
The water pump setup looks good but where did they put the thermostat.
I will be coming to the US in the next two weeks to negotiate a new
contract. my destination will be Seattle via UAE them back home.

Hi Paul, I made the effort and went to Perth to take a look at the
engine. It was all crated up but the guy let me open it up to have a
look. All my question have been answered by viewing. The thermostat
housing bolts to the front cover. The box had 107 kgs or 235 lbs on
the label, the engine had the heavy flywheel on and the steel sump.
When I weighed the 87 engine it went 75 kgs [165 pounds] without flywheel, front
cover, sump, water pump and all manifolds. What is the ignition fire
system on this engine.
Regards Don

It is basically the same as the third gen. It fires off a mag pickup looking
at a stamped sheet metal toothed ring attached to the front pulley.

Do you have a close up shot of the mag pickup and toothed ring Paul?

Don't think so but if I run across one I will upload it.
