Changing from 582 to 912

Postby Blue Max » Mon May 21, 2012 5:15 pm

:(
I am not happy with the performance of the 582 on my Thunderbird.
If I change to 912 what will the result be in performance.!!!

Just the idea from a 2stroke to a 4stroke says much!

I am sure that Thunderbird with the BMW motor will be at the Kroon fly-in. Don't decide before you have seen it and have spoken to Johan about cost and performance.

Baie dankie vir julle hulp hiebo.
Ek het intussen op ' goeie gesag' verneem dat al sit jy n boiing engine in die ThunderBird dan cruise hy nog 60 mph. ## ##
Want hy is gebou vir n 582 engine..
