SUPER cool pics and awesome fabrication skills. lots of great and inventive adaptations and tools built for things like piston pin removal, etc
one of the coolest looking motors ever, with that mani and how the turbo is.

Yeah I saw that a while back. Its a pretty sweet setup. I think their biggest issue was getting enough airflow for the cooling systems, iirc.

The boxer engines are pretty popular for homebuilt planes, as they're very well balanced.
Of course, seeing as how subaru took the design from Fuji's aerospace division, its hardly surprising
Cool stuff tho
