KR> VW powerplant question

[Dennis Cook]

Hello Group,

I am new to KRs and was wondering, to have a high performing KR2 what is the 
recommended size VW engine and HP rating?

Also what would be the minimum and maximum VW HP for the KR2??

Is anyone flying behind a turbocharged VW and happy with the flight performance?

Are there many Corvair people in this group that have high performance KRs?

Is a 200 mph cruise really attainable?

Well, Glen, seems there are no takers on this one.  What I can tell you is
that you do need to dump the POSA.  Many of us use Ellison, AeroCarb, or
RevFlow.  I like the Ellison and will let others tell you about their
preferred carb.  The problem with Ellison, is that you can no longer get the
EFS-2, which is what you need for that VW.

Due to this problem, if I were doing it again, I would find a carb that
worked on a 65 HP Continental or Lycoming and go with that.

Well now that I am this close to finishing my PPL, it will soon be time 
to get working on N1333A. She already has an 1835 VW with a POSA carb on 
her, but my EAA tech advisor has encouraged me to look into a float bowl 
carb, for various reasons. Great Plains has the 1821 updraft carb and I 
have a lot of respect for Steve Bennett's work with the VW based 
engine.  Any more info that anyone wants to offer on the fuel system? 
The floors open, and I will be using all of this to make my decision 
soon. Assuming I pass my PPL the 1st time, the VW case will be getting 
split open by mid June.

KR> Header Tank Rework

[Dan Heath]

KR cloth will work, but you must use Vinyl Ester resin, if it was made with
that originally, and if it wasn't, you might want to replace the tank while
you are in there.

Hello all!  I just bought a flying KR2 and am in the process of adding 
some instrumentation.  I discovered that the new instruments are about 1 
1/2" longer than I have room for, and it appears that moving the panel 
is not a viable option.

I would appreciate some information concerning what type of epoxy to 
use, what type of fiberglass cloth to use, etc., etc., etc. if it 
becomes necessary to cut an indentation into the fuel tank.

Thanks so much, and Thank You to ALL of you for the wealthy of 
information I've discovered here!

Best Regards,

Dave

KR> Header Tank Rework

[Barry Kruyssen]

Hi Dave

If you fuel tank does not leak now I would not cut into it as getting
repairs/modifications on fuel tanks to not leak is a fiddly, time consuming
job.  I would change the instruments for ones that fit. (And I have 20+
years of fibre glassing experience) Then again I am all over doing time
consuming modes to my aircraft. I just want to fly.

Regards
Barry
