In 2000 I built a Q200 Quickie with O200A engine and installed ported, polished and flow balanced Superior Cylinders with 9.1:1 Lycon high compression pistons, and 2 Lightspeed Plasma 3 Ignitions with 4:1 ceramic coated exhaust. I zeroed the engine at that time. The plane now has 2010 hours on it so I decided to top it with all new same parts. I’m in the middle of it now. I’ve been very happy with my engine. The plane cruises at 195-200 MPH and I believe I’m getting 118-120HP out of it. Idle RPM is 450.
Port work is such a game changer in IC engines. Any and every engine I work on gets some degree of port work, more for reducing heat and the associated knock, all by smoothing things out and removing casting flash, etc. Maximizing air flow is what engine "building" is all about vs just assembling the parts to get it out the door. I rebuild auto engines and folk are constantly asking me why my rebuilds are more than they would pay for a rebuild from a mass assembly operation. I tell them its attention to detail.
That is the EAA 50th Anniversary Give Away Plane for 2020 that’s rolling over to the 2021 EAA Give away. It is there all new Patriot Aircraft line of Super Cubs. 😁👍🏼
I would like to swap the c85 for a 200 with 118hp on an Ercoupe. Possible? The 85 has just 73 hrs with good compressions. What would the expense of the swap be?
Great video Brian. These ol’boys know there stuff. I would rather have one of there rebuilt 0-200’s than a new D model. They are using a lot of the D model parts to get under 200lbs. I don’t remember him saying what type warranty they offer?
Compared to O-235, I understand that the O-200 is lighter and O-235 have slightly more power and higher TBO hours (if this actually meant that O-235 is more reliable). Can this O-200 run mogas after mod?
A friend is running high compression pistons in his O-300 172 and absolutely loves it. Way better climb and high altitude performance. Better fuel economy and lower egt's due to more complete combustion.

What Fuel and Octane do you run?
Really looking forward to this one. I hope they offer the 0-200 D. In 118hp. It’s lighter than the old 0-200.

What the chance of an STC for us mortals that live in the certified world. 118 would wake up a whole fleet of 150’s.
Zero it costs astronomical amounts of money to get all the certs
AWESOME like to do that to my 150 0200
Whats the cost n weight all up installed?
Can that 118 hp be achieved on 95 mogas?
Ditto O300?
GO 300?
Form337 in a certified pvt aircraft?
My tanks had V-12 Continental power plants. They did right by me and my crews.
Don't know about two E spark units I'd be running one mag and one E-spark
Did he say Wittman Rearwind? 😂
I wonder if he meant Tailwind.
@@dirtcop11 I am sure he did, it just struck me funny.
Yup, I guess the tail is the rear!!! Ha ha
It made the other guy laugh so I knew it was a tailwind.
He may have meant "Butt-Wind", which is a cross between a Buttercup and a Tailwind. LOL! Seriously, it's been done and that's what it was called.
Idling it almost sounds like a Kubota diesel.
Imagine if Kubota made diesels for aviation
What was the aircraft that Don installed this modified O-200 in?

Enjoyed
Have them put a Vetterman exhaust on one yet?
Skål 🍺 🍺 🍺
Slainte 😋
what a great series so informative i will take 1 of each please!!!!!!!! lol
im sold
Love it...!!!
Weird question but could you put this engine in a 152 Cessna

C85-12?
Seen a 150hp O-320 "super air coupe" for sale on barnstormers. Experimental exhibition.
Can’t wait for this.

Do the E Mags produce their own electricity for ignition
Hey Brian, here's a suggestion for a series, folding wings! I have to have a folding wing. Thanks for considering.
And deleniate between foldability for regular storage/trailerability, or for long term storage
PSA- yelling "clear" and hitting the starter a 1/4 second later does not clear the area.
Should yell look out!

What prop and max rpm does this run at?
118 hp burns .45 to .5 lb/hp/hr or 8.9 to 9.8 gallons per hour. Cruising at 75 hp gets you 6.2 gallons per hour.
What type of gas will it run on?
Can you pump up the h p a litter more ???
Air racers are doing 4000 rpms with them.
Must cost about 40k?
They quoted under $19,000. This is not 100% new its reman with some used/yellow tagged parts.
Ok: 150 bucks per hp
I would love an augmented 0-300 for a C172 at 5000 ft plus altitudes...!!!

Unfortunately continental is owned by China. AVIC international. Still made in the us though.
So for 15mnts they pretty much repeated themselves...
