Came across this in conversation at FANS today.
Aparently was an 80hp 912 that was modified to produce 95hp.
Does anybody know what is involved with this conversion? Guessing it is an 80 with 100hp pots on it? if so where are the other 5 ponies?
Are the 80 and 100hp cranks the same?

Hi Mogas,
It basically only involves high compression pistons. Apparently with the mod the oil consumption increases.

Demon had one in his previous trike I understand. Also there is a Bush Baby here with one. This plane did run hotter than normal

Be aware that according to Rotax the minimum octane rating for the 912 is 90. For the 912S is 95. With the high compression pistons I would imagine you also need 95 octane. I chose the 912 because 95 octane fuel is not available everywhere. If the fuel availability is not a problem for you, the kit seems to be a good idea.

Thanks for the info guys. Interesting stuff.
BTW this is not for my current BB which is already 100hp, just sniffing around for an engine for the next one.......

Hi Mogas, the the plane I am buying now has got this mod. Talk to Monthy. He says it produces in the region of 90-93 hp if I am not mistaken.
