The series 3 can take a Jabaru 6 at 120 HP.  Jabaru had a 

firewall forward kit for this engine.  With this engine 

cruse speed will be about 190 MPH.

 Hello all,

 I'm the proud new owner of a pulsar 3 that is about 20% 

complete. Almost all the pieces are there but the 

firewall forward kit is not. Its a tail wheel version and 

I am favoring the Rotax 912ul. If anyone knows where I 

can find any or all of these pieces please help me out! 

 Thanks in advance!

 Ed

I have a manual for install of the rotax 914 turbo engine in this airframe. 



Let me know if you want it. 



26 years of flying and there's no such thing as too much horsepower......



Regards,



Matt.

I have a complete FWF kit for a Rotax 912 for a Series II Pulsar which I understand to be dimensionally the same as a Series III. 

It's been several years in storage but as I recall it includes two radiators, engine mount maybe oil cooler upper and lower cowls



I also have a FWF for a 2200 Jabiru with corks and engine mount. 



Let me know if interested.

Ed,

I have a PulsarIII that I purchased built but with only 96hrs on it and the manual is for Pulsar II-III as they were just changing to the III series.

It would appear that engine mounting for the 912 would be the same for both. The manual shows the engine being the 912 turbo. Your welcome to any info out of the manual you may need.

I have never seen a Jabiru in the Pulsar personally but I would do some research on the Jabiru before I would purchase. There have been some strange issues with the engines.  

Sounds like Ned has everything you may need.

The Pulsar I bought was not completed properly and it took me 3 years of part time work to get it completed properly.

Any questions you may have I would be happy to offer any advice I can. Fuel tank leakage has been a curse.

Good luck,

Alan

Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 6:14 am Post subject: Re: Pulsar 3 cowling needed

Thanks for all the help guys! I have never posted on any forum before so I'm not sure how to do it so everyone sees my replies.  I think Ned has what I need and I've already contacted him via email.  He's researching his records to come up with a price for me to consider. It would seem wise to make a mold of the cowl (upper and lower) if we strike a deal so someone has it.  



Jabiru came up during my research prior to buying my Pulsar.  I spoke with Pete from Jabiru who seems to be recognized as the guru for the US.  He confirmed that Jabiru does make a fwf kit for the pulsar and it is still available but they no longer make the cowling.  Further research showed that the Jabiru seems to have a pattern of overheating, particularly if the cowling airflow isn't correct. The fact that Jabiru still makes an option for me allowed me to complete the deal for my Pulsar knowing I had options. Pete also graciously offered to help me fabricate a cowl using a similar cowl from a Rans S19 which was a nice offer. I found a company called Rotec that makes a liquid cooled head with an electric pump for cooling for the 3300.  Their head also has a 15% longer valve guide in it. If I end up going the Jabiru route, that looks like the best setup.



I recently moved to Lapeer,Mi and found out that I have a Rotax dealer right here on my base airport.  I'm fairly convinced that the 912UL is the right motor for me although I'm still considering everything. The turbo is a thought and I believe it mounts the same, but I'm Leary of turbos.  I have several hundred hours in turbos and my boss at the time showed how to operate his engines properly.  Everyone in the company flew them correctly and we had engine analyzers to prove it.  We never had one fail airborne, but we did see a that they needed "help" to stay reliable. In all fairness, those were continental engines.  I currently operate 3 continentals and they all are fine engines that do what they are supposed to reliably.  I just think Rotax and Jabiru have the LSA market wired.

Just like everyone else, money is a limitation.  All else being equal I would opt for the fuel injected Rotax, but $30 k is not a viable price for my project. 

I plan to reply individually to each of you who took the time to post on this thread.  If I can figure it out I'll do it within the forum for all to see but if not I'll do it individually.  I really appreciate anyone who takes a little time out to help another builder. This is my first home built plane.  I've been flying certified planes for 30 years and still do professionally, so I know enough to know I don't know anything about what I'm getting into here. I'm excited to learn and rub elbows with the guys who have knowledge to share. We have an EAA chapter at my base airport and all of you guys on this forum.  I'm sure with all that help I can stay safe, have some fun, and make some friends along the way.  Thanks, guys!

Hi Ed,

good luck with your build. I have Pulsar II/III with Rotax 912 turbo, and I like the engine. I did not have a choice, as I bought unfinished kit including the engine. I would like to bring to your attention an excelent engine - D motorÂ http://www.d-motor.eu/nl/home-1.htm

Please have look at it. It is fuel injected.

Hi Ed,



Welcome to the forum and good luck with whatever engine you choose to go

with. If you haven't considered this already, I highly recommend attending

he Pulsar Fly-in/Reunion being held May 28 - 31. You will walk away with a

ton of knowledge and some new friendships. And you get to spend time with

Pulsars both on the ground and in the air. Hope to see you there.



Jim

Hello Ed,

Before you tackle the engine installation, I would recommend that you get my book "Efficient Powerplant Installations". It has an extensive chapter on engine cooling and drag reduction. See my web site www.caro-engineering.com.

If molds are needing to be made for the cowls, let me know and I can help out.  I've made one for the lower cowl of the XP model already.
