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 |

Re: Subaru EG33 hammers all competitors
The engine is completely factory stock with the exception of custom exhaust and intake manifolds that I designed and built ... see the attached photos. I also have about a dozen YouTube videos, I like this one because it is only a few seconds long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T9xFf97E-s

Re: Subaru EG33 hammers all competitors
Oh, nice. Looks great...but the throttle body looks like aftermarket.
So, these engines are installed backwards on planes? |

Re: Subaru EG33 hammers all competitors
How is it cooled? I can't see the radiator.
