check this out! http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kro10_96.html i'm not sure how to paste links but just copying and pasting into your URL bar should work.

This site is by aviation gurus for aviation gurus, but find the plane titled "KEN THOMAS'S KR2S" and check out the motor they're using...
yep the trusty old EA82!!

I know a lot of people don't like these engines, either favoring the ej's or ea81's, BUT you have to admit that its pretty cool anyway. imagine the sound it'd make tearing down the runway!

There was a mob doing a four valve twin overhead cam per bank conversion for airborn NA EA82's , I think it cranked out about 140 Hp in NA form .

Wish I could find those pics , cheers A .

It's fairly common, using EA engines for bugsmashers. I think Jabiru used to (or still do) offer a converted EA81 for their little thing, along side proper aircraft engines.

Imagine the performance with a turbo EJ25 haha
