After 9 months and a few dollars, look what showed up today.
This is getting hung tonight.
Good, bad, or ugly, here goes.
Very impressed with the whole package.
Top notch from wiring to exhaust.
155 hp 912STI package on a brand new 912ULS.
At least it was purchased last year before the price hike.
Almost did the yamaha, but the kitfox mount was in the process of getting remodeled when I was ordering so stuck with rotax.
Anyone need a nice carb syncing tool, have one that hopefully will never need again, lol.

Quick four bolts, probably most instant gratification per minute, now the work starts for real.
Wonder which Rotax has the bigger turbo, the 155 hp or the 220 hp one, lol.

Nice! Do you have a intercooler yet? I have an extra one if needed. Just PM me.

[Jcard]

I bought an intercooler with the engine, but it is shipping later.
If it takes too long might have to take you up on that one.
Thanks for answering all my goofy questions about the engine last year, really helped to figure which way to go.

That is sweet!! :cool: I'm definitely interested in the carb syncing tool! How much you want for it? Also interested in more pictures of your build!!

Wow! That’s a nice engine. We’re did you get it? I’m looking at engines right now.

Bought it from the Edge performance dealer in Kansas.
Mike at Stolcreek Aviation.
Great guy to work with, goes out of his way to help a customer.

Thanks! I’ll have to check that it out.

Aluminum header tank in, fuel lines made up and ran.
Pumps, pressure regulator, ecu, turbo actuator mounted and fuel filter temporarily hung.
Ran out of
firesleeve, need to order some more.
Filled header tank and ran the pumps, to my great relief, no leaks.

Do you use a fwf kit or does that stuff come with the engine?

The model 7 912ULS firewall forward has most of the required parts with the exception of two naca ducts and
some minor odds and ends.
Dustin's twin STI build thread is the best reference source for this install.
Added 3 switches and breakers for the pumps and ecu.
Intercooler came with the engine but not the hoses.
This 7 had 500 hours on it and is getting a makeover, nosewheel to tailwheel, new power, STI wing, new radiator and oil cooler, prop ect.
By the way, I really enjoy your YouTube videos, keep up the great work.
Thanks.

Made it out of the barn and ran it for almost an hour.
Waiting for one egt probe and the intercooler, ran a bypass tube and stuck a bolt in the probe bung.
Kinda redneck but really wanted to see it spin the prop.
Still waiting on the nr prop.
Should be able to get it to the hangar soon.

[Kitfox Pilot]

That's got to be a great feeling!

[Eric Page]

Lookin' good, Jody. That thing's going to be a blast!

Intercooler showed up yesterday!
Ordered a couple different intake hoses of course, but now I can make more progress.
Going to start with the old warpdrive prop and once everything is working decent switch to the NR 79" 3 blade.
