Will 914 rotax fit a smooth Cowl kf5

[gizmos]

I have a kitfox 5 vixen with smooth cowl. Will the rotax 914 turbo fit on the 912 engine mount and will the turbo clear the cowl? Any photos?

Do you have a model 5 firewall forward or a model7?

I don't think the model 5 firewall forward setup would accept a 914 .

I don't see why it wouldn't. A model 5 can take a 912 and the turbo is tucked in on the engine on the 914 and doesn't protrude away from the engine. Worst case, you may have to run a intake line to the air filter isn't sticking straight out the side. The 914 is a lot smaller than O-200s etc.

The person to ask would be John McBean.

There isnt much room in my Model 5 cowling with a 912 uls .

Doesn't the 914 reqire the rotax airbox?

I haven't seen one with an air box. My intake filter goes directly on the turbo.
