This is an EJ25 Subaru 2.5L 165 hp with a Ross Aero PSRU and 7 inch extension. It came off a Cozy Mk IV with 400 hrs flying time and was replaced with a larger Subaru engine. The engine had oil squirted in cylinders for preservation when removed.

I built a carbon intake manifold to reduce the weight by 12 pounds and also dramatically improves the cowling shape. By having a shorter length it should also better match the rpm for aircraft use. A typical car engine is optimized for about 30% rpm range. Also built new fuel lines as the stock engine has the fuel coming from the rear of the engine, now it is plumbed straight to the firewall. Included is all the parts shown, including:
wiring harness, computer, fuse box, fuel pump, starter, alternator, fuel filter, exhaust manifolds and muffler, propellor (still needs completion but complete details available on disc), optimized radiator and oil cooler, air filter, cowlings for a O-320 (might need adjustment) and a bunch of fittings etc. This engine installed has the almost identical weight to using an O-320 but the advantages of fuel injection, auto gas use and inexpensive parts available every where.
Details of prop completion available.
