Hi folks:



I recently made a commitment to buy an NSI EA-81-130-TTBI package from list 

member Jim Crowder: firewall forward package for Kitfox 5 taildragger with 

turbo and CAP 140 Warp Drive Prop.



I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for additional NSI manuals that would cover this installation

(engine, prop, turbo, ignition system, and any other manuals that

they published) plus any other resources that might be available (NSI or 

not) that

would be a good resource to have for daily maintenance, overhauls, etc.



Here's what I already have [from NSI through Jim], so I don't cause any 

unnecessary work for anyone:

Kitfox Vixen Firewall Installation Instructions

Kitfox Vixen Cooling System and Control Cable Instructions

Kitfox Vixen Cowling Installation Instructions

CAP 140 Cockpit Adjustable Prop Installation/Maintenance/Operators Manual 

[this is addressed to Rotax 912/914; don't know if there's another Manual I 

need for the EA-81 application?]

CAP 140 Digital Propeller Pitch Gauge Installation/Maintenance/Operators 

Manual [this is addressed to Rotax 912/914; don't know if there's another 

Manual I need for the EA-81 application?]

Kitfox Vixen Engine Mounting Instructions

Kitfox Vixen Gear Reduction Drive Installation Manual

Most specifically I don't have an engine Operations or Maintenance manual 

for this product.  Don't know if such a thing exists from NSI.  Or if I 

should just look for another maintenance manual like a Chiltons?  Be nice to 

have something that explains basic operation of the engine, like an owner's 

manual/operations manual if NSI produced one.



Any other pertinent info/publications would be much appreciated.  I'm happy 

to cover copy, mailing and other costs for your time.  Thanks much!  I'm 

also quite willing to share what I have if any of you using this package 

have a need.  Just let me know.



Thanks in advance for your help!

You should have a dyno run on that engine. Looks like a spread sheet. Comes 

with teh engine. That will give you some numbers to use. As far as the 

manuals, that sounds fairly complete. The expierence here in the group will 

probably be the best manual you have. Here are just a few for starters. It 

will be heavy. Put your battery in the tail and sweep the wings. It will not 

cool well without some effort. An oil cooler is a must. Two fuel pumps, 

think about it very seriously. And remember to keep it light. Drill out your 

primer so it can get fuel on the first fire up of the day. I vented my 

gearbox. No more seal problems. Fasten the muffler where it exits the cowl 

back to the crossover pipe or it will break from vibration. It is an easy 

fix. I would look over everyones install before even starting. Did I mention 

to keep it light. It is a great setup with a great sound.

I have an EA81 Turbo (not NSI) and thrilled with performance, cooling good 

too after a bit of tweaking. Sump sees a good airflow and couple of cooling 

tubes through it. Water to oil heat exchange, oil temp 90c and water 95. Lot 

of work but I'm blown away with performance, good choice for 5 or better as 

pretty weighty.

Mike,



It looks like you pretty much have all the manuals from NSI.  You can get a

service manual for the engine by going to the auto parts store and buying a

service manual for a mid 80's Subaru.  I have a Haynes manual that is for

1600/1800 Subaru 1980 to 1994 and it has just about everything you need for

working on the engine.

Yes the Haynes is great but does not cover the EFI Turbo engine. There is a 

suppliment manual you can get from Subaru, well they produced one and might 

still be available.

I asked for the book on the 84 Soob Brat.  It had a

turbo, so the book has a very small turbo reference to

it.  Mine is not EFI, so I did not look for it.



I am not home now, so I can not give more info, but

maybe that will help.
