Hi Jan,

  

 I have been looking at the BMW 1200 for some time  now.  115hp on a Rotax gearbox looks great.

 Send me your 1100 picture if you will.

  

 Thanks much,    Ron      N55KF

   The BMW 1100S is a modern engine that don't cost    a lot, modern electronic injection, cheep on fuel, cheep to buy, 85-90 useful    HP (depending on RPM) the torque is almost  constant, I have pic from a    guy in Poland that replaced his VW 1835 with a BMW he more then doubled the    climb rate. speed up to VNE on his dragy TULAK (highwing side by side plane,    MTOW 450 kg / 1000 lbs)

    

   The pic is big is size so if any one want to see    I can send to your private mail.

I'm wondering if the 1100 and/or the 1200 could be turbo'd. Our local strip is at about 7000ft and I'm not looking forward to spending around 30K on a turbo'd Rotax (914). This is a ways off so I'll be looking at any options that come up. If these BMW engines can be turbo'd does anyone have ideas about where to have it done?

Jan, why not put that pic of the engine in the kitfox dropbox at the following address.  I'd sure love to see it:

A company from Montreal, Canada sells complete kits with a good looking 

redrive for this engine.  The owner is a Russian aircraft engineer and sells 

mostly Geo Metro engines that he has developed a turbo for.  I'm sure he can 

help you out with your needs. I too was looking at this engine.

Yes, there is a company here in Ca. that sells a complete kit for the

BMW engine from mild to wild. AS far as the conversion there is also a

company that specializes in the complete FWF BMW conversion. I will look

them up if you are interested.

This is the link I found. There is also a BMW engine on ebay right now.

I like the idea a lot. In fact if I rebuild this is a serious contender.

Rick, I'm not seeing a link there. I just ordered a couple of books from Contact magazine that are compilations of all their conversion articles in all past issues. Looks like some good reading.. --Scott
