Is that an EA81? If so how do you like it?

[@cramersclassics]

Yes, it is a Subaru EA-81 that was built by NSI back in 1993. About 98 HP. Have about 475 trouble-free hours flying. Very thrifty @ 4GPH. Cruise close to 100 MPH. I have a video on the engine posted.

@@cramersclassics I am interested in doing a similar build. What changes to I need to make on the engine to convert it for aircraft use?

[@cramersclassics]

@@brianblasius The changes are quite extensive. You can see my other video here on the basic engine conversion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGvh4RobJhmebM

@@cramersclassics I had watched the video but it's like the NSI company is no longer operational. I just wanted to know if there's another way to build an aero conversion from an EA81 straight from a car.

[@cramersclassics]

I’m not aware of anyone building Subaru kit these days. Aero Vee has a VW based kit which is similar but less HP.
