Jabiru mods, water cooled heads

[ZULU1]

I was reviewing the "Animal" and took a look at the Rotec website, they have obviously discovered that a huge market exists to fix possible overheating issues with the Jabiru engine, specifically the 3300-6 cylinder. They are making a water cooled head, a replacement alternator and efi system. the efi looks like a WW2 throttle body ?

What this could mean is that a 2200 motor could be used in a trike, the heads being cooled, a duct over the barrels, similar to a 912. At present they enrich the fuel to keep head temps down. If water cooled it would probably sort many pusher installations out as well. Plus cost and weight.

see this http://www.rotecaerosport.com/products/lch/

It would be an interesting installation to review as a alternate to a 912. I dont think it would need so much engineering either..tbo is appealing as well. The alternator seems sensible.

What would also be interesting is the 3300 motor installed in a Gyro, 120 hp, very cheap compared to a 914 and very light, except no altitude compensation. Just somebody has to have the balls to do it..and time..
