MR2 with kinner R-55 radial engine FIRST FIRE!

here she is guys, 18days to the race and she fires up for the first time.

the idle speed was about 450rpms but it seems like it could go significantly lower.

the experience was much more visceral in person than this video shows. I smell like oil and gasoline now.

I have a 2000hp Bristol Hercules radial engine mounted on a trailer just for fun. Keep up the good work!!!!

This is insane, and I mean that in the very best way.

Great project. But, what is the R-55? If this engine came from a P-22 it's probably a R-540. Got a shot of the tag on the engine?

Seems to me that the stock MR2 engine works much better than this one.

Just sayin'.
