Apparantly a 1000cc 3cyl 65HP to replace Rotax 582

Looks a bit bulky / Heavy ?

Nice!! Looks like the one I have on my lawn mower. :twisted: :twisted:

Verner is looking for some one to take over the local agency:

Haven't seen an actual conversion, but gauging on the ads it seems to be a popular conversion in Hungary and probably around there in Central Europe. (Suzuki has an assembly plant in Esztergom, Hungary and some of the motors seem to fall off the production line easily ...)

The same car/engine is marketed in the US under the GEO brand. Conversion kits (and some excellent write-ups on car engine conversions and trikes in general) are available from here:

(Lots of pics and a great site!)

Daihatsu have a 2 stroke, 2 cylinder 650cc diesel, with dedicated lube system no mixing just add diesel.

Specs are

50hp@3500rpm It should outperform a 582 on the reef and with that torque can handle some pretty big props / pitches!!!
135NM@1500rpm

It's supercharged and turbo charged to make up for the turbo lag. When RPM gets to about 2500, supercharger disengages via a clutch.
Engine has been around for about 4 years in prototype, supposedly to be launched in 2007.

The new polo 1.4 features a similiar setup re super and turbo charger.

I have attended a few UK Microloght shows and have pics of the Suzuki installed and also the Verner in a X Air. I have some pics of some amazing engineering used for Paramotors from Italy. The workmanship is awesome. Send me a PM so I can email pics.
