In this case, does "closed loop" mean closed circuit, like there is a
water to water heat exchanger or does it mean simply that it has a
thermostat?

215HP: what would the equivalent Lycoming be from a HP standpoint,
IO-360?

Has anyone here done anything with the new 3 jug 4 cycle supercharged
engines they're making now? Something like 215HP.

It was well described in Popular Science (I think). The SC is mounted to the
front to keep the profile low. Note that is it supercharged, not turbocharged
-- no waiting for boost. 3 cylinder 4 valve, O to 30 in 1.6 seconds and 0 to 60
in 5.1 or some such waterborne insanity : )

Closed loop cooling is good. I was afraid it needed a steady suppy of cool sea
water!

I think the power rating was ta over 5,000 RPM so there might be a weight
penalty for a health reduction drive.

Numerous applications came to mind!
