I change my 582 for a Jabiru 2200, one and half year ago, on my Kitfox
model 3. Since then I have been flying 160 hours of pure delight. In a
nutshell, the Jabiru is a good engine, easy to install, but most of the
work is in the modification of the cowling that will make the engine
room a good air circulation chamber and keep the engine cool. Since you
have already brought a model 1 to model 4, I guess working with
fiberglass won't scare you. Try to do it exactly as your Jabiru dealer
tells you to. The outlet, under the firewall must be 4 times as big as
the two ram air ducts, and oil cooler inlet, combined. To really move
the air, the outlet must be shaped to create a low pressure. Mine has a
scoop that is tilted 45 degrees and ... it really sucks! (if you excuse
my pund! 
Cheers,
Michel
