Subaru EG33 hammers all competitors
In past races we were blowing away our class so badly that we decided to voluntarily move up one class for the 2018 racing season. Crying and whining from a pilot in the next class started because he knew that we would crush that class. The Race Director asked if we would move up two classes … we agreed.
The Memorial Air Race was held at Terrell Texas this last weekend. 34 aircraft ran in this race. We sliced and diced every one of them. Our speed was 32MPH faster than the second place entrant! I must admit none of the 270+ MPH guys showed up for this race. I love this little 202 cubic inch Subaru engine. Russell Sherwood - Glasair I RG / Subaru EG33 |

Generally the classes are divided into Experimental (such as mine), Certified and Military. Those are further split by Fixed or Retractable landing gear, Turbo or Normal aspirated, lastly by size of the engine. Russell Sherwood |

Oh, nice. Looks great...but the throttle body looks like aftermarket.
So, these engines are installed backwards on planes? |

How is it cooled? I can't see the radiator.

Loving reading your posts. Maybe I missed it but, what do you use for an ECU?

Re: Subaru EG33 hammers all competitors
Just curious, did you look into the EZ30 engine before selecting the EG33? I only ask because the EZ is much lighter and more compact with a similar power level. Was there a massive benefit to the EG?
PS I have to say, if an SVX engine is gonna go into something other than an SVX, this is how it should be done. Awesome job. |
