Lessons Learned from putting Subaru Engines in Airplanes - With Dominic Acia

Dominic Acia of GetaDomTune has done just about everything you could think of with Subaru engines... Including tuning them and building them to run in airplanes.
Because a Subaru engine airplane engine has some many different run requirements and conditions, this offers a unique opportunity to understand how they work. In this clip from part 2 of our Podcast, Dominic gives us an example of some of the things that he learned doing this.

All we were missing was the old wood stove in the shop to stand around and listen to these stories

Very cool Subaru engines are used in airplanes.

Our shop has been refusing to build Subaru or any automotive to aero engine conversions.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. It is definitely not a simple conversion for that change in application, and given the stakes, I'd say that makes complete sense.
Thanks for all the awesome work and content that you all make! We hope that we can get Mike on the podcast at some point too!
Stay Tuned!

@FI - This strikes close to home + I was looking into doing just this. There's a guy, Russell Sherwood, who's successfully used a 3.3 in his experimental for a decade. Excellent information. Thank you.

Telling how different the loading is on an aircraft compared to a race car. 6 hrs at full throttle is very much different to a 6 hr race, when then engine might see to full throttle 90% of the time but only be a peak torque or power for 15-20% of that 90%

Yeah, duty cycle goes a long way
