 |
|
Hello All,
Jabiru USA is now offering the new Jabiru 3300 engines with hydraulic
lifters and a new head design with more cooling fins. That will allow
better cooling for slower flying aircraft like Zenith 701's. In addition we
are just completing a new cowl and fwf kit for the 701 for the 2200 or 3300
engine.
To celebrate we are offering a price reduction on our first allotment of 45
engines (3300's). It's a good time to buy if you kit is completed to that
stage.
Visit www.usjabiru.com <http://www.usjabiru.com/> for details.

Hi Pete,
Please tell us more about the new engine. How does it compare with
the old engine. In particular, is it a new design or a slight
modification of the old one? What about weight and horsepower
compared to the older one? Are you still offering the old one? How
should we decide which is better for a 601XL?

Paul,
The new version is no different in weight, horsepower, or size. All 3300
production from now on will feature the Hydraulic lifters and the newer
heads. Hyd lifters have been running on 2200's for a year with no issues.
Jabiru ground tested a 2200 for 2000 hours and flight tested for 500 hours
before making the change. 3300's have been tested on the ground and in
flight as well.
The head shape is the same but by making some changes in the CNC tooling
used to manufacture them Jabiru has made more but thinner fins on the heads,
increasing the cooling fin area by more than 25%. This should help for
installations in slower aircraft where airflow through the cowl is not as
strong. Rans S7S, Zenith 701, Fisher Horizon, and Kitfox are examples of
aircraft that will benefit from the extra cooling.
Engines with mechanical lifters and previous heads are no longer available.
Pete
