2L TDIO, All aluminum block/head, boosted, intercooled, 258
pound-feet of torque @ 1,800 rpm. Probably a terrible engine for a
car. But for an airplane....

Haven't found the weight yet.
178kg 392lbs


How big a prop do you want to spin? with 258 torque available at 1800,
assuming a fairly flat power curve you have 135 HP at 2800 RPM. Not
bad for what would likely turn out to be a 300 lb engine stripped for
flight.
Realy, I don't know but I don't think you have 135Hp@2800rpm.
150hp@3600rpm in the car...

For TBO: think Thielert....

What are Thielert's TBO like?
