My Reasons For Choosing An Automobile-based Powerplant:
Modern engine reliabilityModern engines built betterModern engines built in huge numbersHigh power/displacement ratioReduced noise/vibration/harshnessSimple controls (single lever/single knob)Reduced pilot workloadBenefits of Electronic Ignition & Fuel InjectionHigher compression ratioSimilar fuel efficiencyAbility to use auto fuel (92 or 87 octane)Low maintenance costsLow oil use (no oil added between 100 hour changes)Quiet operationLiquid cooling for safer/better cabin heatingAbility to descend quickly (4000 fpm demonstrated)

My Concerns In Choosing An Automobile-based Powerplant:
• Reliability at high power settings• High RPM operation• Expense of Constant Speed Propeller• Electrical system dependence• Very few examples flying• Future factory support• Cooling design issues• Fuel system design issues• Lack of availability of a vacuum system• Resale value• Difficulty finding auto fuel in the short term

Efficiencies: Subaru vs. Lycoming
• Liquid cooling - better temp control• Geared operation - Higher torque• E.F.I. - better fuel metering• E.I. - better ignition control• Lower vibration levels• Lighter constant speed propeller• Simpler propeller control• 1 lever & 1 knob control of power
• Air cooling-better thermal efficiency• Direct drive - lighter weight• Simpler fuel system• Less complicated electrical system• Simpler cooling system• Simpler constant speed propeller

Critical Elements to an Auto Conversion:
• PSRU(Propeller Speed Reduction Unit): belt, chain, gear (spur,planetary, idle shaft)
• Radiators: location; brass, aluminum; auto, A/C core, oil cooler• Fuel system: single/double pump; header tank; filters• Electrical system: single/dual/triple battery, dual alternator,
dual buss, essential buss, breakers, polyfuse• Cowling: modified stock, custom, cowl flap• Coolant: 50/50, Evans (propylene glycol, non-aqueous),
pressurized, non-pressurized• Exhaust: straight, muffler, turbo• Induction: air filter, turbo, turbo-normalized, supercharged,
intercooled
