I looked into the industrial engine route on the VW and the only one I could find is the 1.9 which is too heavy. Could you explain "the like fooling the ECU it has a clutch and brake switch to prevent limp-home, for example." Thanks, Bill IIRC there's 2 brakelight switches, and a clutch switch. The clutch switch could be ignored, probably, but with the brake switches you need to make sure the ECU doesn't think there's a fault. I believe it compares the 2 switches, and if one is different, throws a check engine lamp. This may or may not reduce power- I can't remember. I do know that a very common cause of the check light is a blown brake bulb.... |
(OK, full sized planes do have brakes, but I don't think I've seen
brake lights on any. <bg>)

No, what he is talking about is I need to consider "fooling" the ECU
that all is well with the brakes and clutch systems, even though they
don't have those systems installed.
Keep it coming.

I keep wondering if this engine might be used in any industrial
equipment such as fork lifts?

Bill Drag chute! Just like on the fighter planes. I keep wondering if this engine might be used in any industrial equipment such as fork lifts? |
industrail VW engine. VW has an industrail engine page however it is
cast block and it weighs too much.

Howdy, Speaking to you folks over "the pond" and was wondering about the VW Lupo / Audi A2 3 cylinder 1.2 liter turbo diesel. I am looking at this power plant for an aircraft. This engine is all alluminum and weighs in at 100 kg. This power plant that I am looking for is in 2000 and up models of the VW Lupo or Audi A2. I am looking for a complete engine along with the controller. |
materials requirements may differ from car engines in general. Aircraft have
higher redundancy in general than cars. Sensors and avionics have a factor
4. Audi does not provide this in their motormanagement.
http://web.thielert.com/typo3/index.php?id=530&L=1 is one of the great
companies with dieselengines for aircraft. Maybe learn from them?
