Hello,

I recently purchased a Pulsar with a brand new 582 engine but I've got a colleague who has a 912UL for sale that I would be very interested in purchasing if I would be able to install it in my aircraft. I'd be much happier having the extra power in the 912 v. the 582 so if it's possible, I'd love to get feedback on the installation or any modifications to the engine mounts etc that would be required. I'd obviously then be selling the 582.

Thanks so much!

Jay

Jay, this is not a simple task, and in many cases is not possible due to structural limitations. First a few questions

1. What is the serial number of your airplane?
2. Do you have wood spars of glass spars?
3. Do you have fuel in the wings or nose tank?

Please let us know.

Thanks
Greg

Hello Greg,

I don't have the serial number handy but it is an older kit (circa 1990). The spar is a combination of both wood and glass. The fuel tank is behind the instrument panel. The seller said he was sure we could put in a 912 for what its worth.

Well, wood spars and fuselage tank eliminate the possibility of a 912. It is also a good possibility that the composite structure is made with 6 oz. glass, which again eliminates any possibility of safely installing a 912. That is the bad news

Now for the good. If you are really intent on replacing the 582, others, including myself have installed the Jabiru 2200. Jabiru makes a firewall forward kit for the Pulsar.

You need to find out more about your PULSAR. Some of the
582's had a gross weight of 900 lbs.
