Is there any information (rumors) of which aircraft Van's is going to support this engine in?

I doubt they are planning on anything, but that engine would rock in the -9(A)!
I wouldn't want one in a -9A. Not enough power, too much ballast would be required and would cost way too much.
A 915iS in a -12 would be amazing! Someone should do it soon!
That's why I am saying the -9. It can be built with an O-235, so a lightweight 135HP with a turbo would smoke at altitude. Yes, ballast or a longer-than-normal nose may be needed, but it would be a smoking machine at 12-17,500 feet.
Guys...this is a e-las...what are you thinking of. The 912 will take to the limits..
Not everyone builds a RV-12 as an E-LSA. There's always room for experimentation. That said, a 915 would almost certainly take the RV-12 out of the light sport category. A 912is, however...
