For those new to aviation:The engine's max power and RPM is utilized at the beginning of the flight cycle. This is held constant until climb rate or altitude is established. At this point RPM/Power is reduced to 60-80% and held for hours. Upon landing throttle demand is reduced unless a touch & go or something requires delaying a landing. This places the flight back into climb mode; max throttle and climb to achieve traffic pattern altitude again.
Thankfully, Toyota has manufactured a quality engine and people, like ones found here, have made it even better by countless hours developing superior aftermarket parts, for this superior engine.
This engine has a task more in line with a tractor engine, rather than a fast revving engine found in a car.
Toyota built up a Lexus engine known as “the turbine killer”. Here is a link with a similar picture. I am not sure that this is the same engine, but it’s close. Scroll half way down the page for the info. Standard carb and standard ignition generation is magneto. Aviation has not had a renaissance like automotive industry. That’s why the experimental market is exploding.
http://www.prime-mover.org/Engines/GArticles/article2.html The twin turbo config is placed aft of the engine which changes the W&B configuration by extending the arm. This is what I would like to put in my plane.
Here are some pics and problems with other V8s in use you may find useful:

Jean-Francois,
I have not ordered the RV-8 yet, so my installation is a while away. I spoke to you at the Wonderboom EAA show in 2005, when you had an Audi 5 cyl. in the plane. I would love to see the Lexus installation, so if you have nothing to do one Sunday, give me a shout. I have a 700m by 30m strip on the farm, or you can fly up to Messina and land on the town strip. I also have a hanger there.
Thanks for the reply and regards,
Erik.

How much for the RV? As much as Van's and the government wants! (LOL) I see you are going to try and convince me to buy a Pacemaker. It is not going to work!! The RV-8 is a plane I would really really like to have. If you have a dedicated redrive for the Lexus developed and for sale, I would be interested. Also in the Gotech module.
Check the weather reports closely before coming up. We have had really funny weather patterns lately, with lots of rain. I wouldn't like you to get bogged down in Polokwane for the weekend!
E-mail me at erik at xsinet stop co stop za for my tel.no. (do the needed changes to the address)
