Greg, I asked above, but didn't get a direct answer to my question about cost. Per your 'divide by 8' above, it would seem your engine is approximately $2750. How much is the Russian PSRU?
Every time I check your website, it indicates that there are no engines/PSRU's to sell. ??
How different is the Apex engine from the R1 (1000cc) engine? Interchangeable?
Brian
Last question first: The MAC YG4 conversion is not based on a motorcycle engine, it is strictly snowmobile engines. No personal watercraft, either. None of these are interchangeable with the other. All totally different animals.
I have recently sold several YG4 150HP engines for under $2400 - $2600 USD.
I degrease, plug all holes and bead blast, and seal aluminum surfaces to prevent oxidation and enhance appearance for $600, plus cost of parts to replace spark plugs and filters. This includes critical work that most individuals miss: The coolant return tubes must be removed, cleaned, and sealed (painted), and new O-Rings installed, and the retaining M6 socket cap screws drilled and safety wired. In some cases, especially older engines, the O-Ring seats must be refurbished and "over-sealed" by implementing a special procedure I have successfully developed (trade secret). This additional work is $28.50/hr, 2 hrs. billable time.
MAC YG4 kit includes adapter, shaft coupling and AK7 PSRU sells as a kit for $3195.00, complete.
Individual components: AK7 PSRU $1795.50; MAC Shaft coupling $449.95; Adapter $1299.95
Wire loom, with your core: $395.00
Exhaust for gyrocopter, complete, using your stock RX1 or Apex snowmobile exhaust and muffler (in good condition) from the sled as a core, as shown on the gyrocopter at
www.MohawkAero.com $795.00
Gyroplane YG4 engine mount kit: $795.00
Typical budget for a MAC YG4 150 HP Gyroplane kit, complete, is under $7780.00.
EXUP 160 HP kit is dependent upon the cost of these newer engines delivered FOB to MAC in Columbia, SC.
