Hi Fred,
I have had just a short phonecall with Otto Funk and can give now some extra
information:
1.) Source of Increase from 82 - 102 HP:
Another Turbocharcher and increasing of the manifold pressure.
For this Mercedes made stronger crankshaft bearings and the valves out of
better material. The outer size of the engine is the same to the 82 HP
2.) Weight of this puppy
The total weight - Firewall forward including anything without cowling and
prop is 86 kg at present. They will change the generator to a lighter one and
will reduce weight on the stainless steel exhaust. Estimated weight saving
will be 3-4 kg.
Competition:
They had test flown two FK9 microlight (one with Rotax 912S / one with 82 hp
smart) and worked out, that the power of the 912S was less (beginning at
500-600 mtr) than the smart engine.
News:
Now they have installed the 60 hp turbocharched smart diesel into a Silence
single seater, normally equipped with the Jabiru 2200.
The weight of the smart diesel (firewall foreward as before) is about 96-98
kg.
For more info, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Kind Regards,
Bruno
