Suzuki Geo, G10T (3 cyl, EFI/Turbo) Info Neded

[Riley]

Any gurus out there who have used (or know of an instance where) a Suzuki G10T turboed car engine that's been converted for experimental Cat 19 RAA aircraft use? Apparently the ICP Savannah VG was/is offered with that power-plant option from the factory. Wanting to establish if it could suit a Pietenpol. Any leads would be gratefully received. Tks n rgds.

A number of people who have used them have had no trouble with the engines themselves, but with other things falling off the aircraft due to torsional vibrations that are quite bad with some 3 cylinder engines.

 

That's all I got.

Seems to have several references to Suzuki Conversions , & at least one for the G10T

We know that popular 2-stroke Rotax 503 and 582 are not certified aviation engines but variations of snowmobile engines with all 2-strokers' problems

Who is "we" ?

This gearbox was designed for

aviation conversion

of engines up to

180 h.p. It has been in production

since 2000. The available reduction

ratios are 2.03, 2.34, 2.5. There is a

German (BMW) rubber damper

between the gear box and the

engine.

The propeller moment of inertia up

to 9,000 kg/cm2. Rotax-style

propeller hub, propeller shaft with a

hole. It is possible to use this

gearbox for both (tractor and

pusher) layouts. A hollow output

shaft allows for variable pitch prop.

.The advantages of this conversion

kit are its big TBO and reliability,

with the possibility of using

heavy propellers. Using this kit, you don't need

to change belts and pay

for them. You don't need

to modify the engine block so the

mechanical part of conversion is very simple - just bolting the

gearbox up. You will keep a stock water outlet wit

h thermostat. I heard a

lot about overheating

problem from people using conversions with modifi

ed water cooling system but have never had it

even with my small radiator closed

by BRS system. It is also its hi

gh efficiency. For example, I got

375lbs of static thrust from

my stock unmodified engine with

a 2.5 RR gearbox and low noise 69"

3-blade carbon propeller.

Now we provide not only

conversion kits but also

ready-to-install power

plants based on low-mileage stock or completely

remanufactured and modified GEO-Suzuki

engines. We also sell gearbox conversion kits

for the Subaru EA-71 EA-82

EJ-18 EJ-20 EJ-22.

Wow that was too easy. Someone by the name of "ignored member" keeps coming up in the responses just after I write a reply in a lot of these threads. No idea who it is or what they are saying. Probably drivel.

 

 

Any who, I am trying to track down a NSW pilot who was using a G13B or something like it in a Moyes Dragonfly to tow hang gliders. If I can find out anything I will post pictures

Ignored member could be any of us. I always feel ignored when I post. :rotary:
