The Rotax 914 is similar in design to the
912, but it is turbocharged. This provides
it with 115 horsepower during takeoff, and
is able to maintain 100 HP up to 16,000
feet. The turbocharger wastegate servo
controlled by the supplied computer,
which also alllows for power curve
adjustments (if desired) and data history
downloads to a laptop omputer. This
engine also utilizes a built-in gear

in a water-cooled package and is
lubricated by a remote oil system

The 'Merlin'-style exhaust stacks are held in
place by hand to demonstrate header pipe
routing. Other than the tell-tale exhaust
residue, the dummy pipes will be nearly
indistinguishable from the live pipes after
final installation.

Here is the first factory installation of a
Suzuki 2.5L, fuel-injected V-6. The clean

While the T-51 can accommodate many different engines ranging from the Rotax 100 HP 912S,
to over 160 HP in a turbine, the engines shown below are currently the most popular with
factory support for motor mounts and propellers.

This engine has already been prepped
with the Hawken belt-reduction drive unit
for another T-51. The conversion kit will
provide mounting for the installation of a
second alternator for charging system
redundancy.
