George,
I have 800 cu in of water to air exchangers. No oil to air
exchanger. At 6800 rpm \ 38" MP I'm producing close to 250 hp. But 15 hp is used
to drive the SC. So about 3.2 cu in per HP. The new openings are about 72 sq in.
The goal is to lower the water temps from 200F to 185F with an OAT of 100F. Oil
is running 20F hotter than water. With the 21% ratio I was only able to maintain
185 HP and keep the oil temps below 220F \ OAT 95F. It all an experiment.
Bobby
Bobby,
What is your expected HP.
How does 26% of core face equate to 3 cu" for every
HP
i.e. 200 hp = 600 cu"

With any luck I will be back in the air this weekend. I made
several changes including opening my inlets from 21% to 26% of my core face.
Of course it's no longer 105F so will have to extrapolate the data. Other
changes include relocating the battery back to the stock location, removing
13lbs of tail ballets, new exhaust manifold and belly mount muffler, CO
Detector, exhaust heat for cabin, O2 system, autopilot, 230 psi water spray
for radiator and manifold injection (yet to be tested), re-plumb the oil to
water exchanger and a fresh pilot bi-annual
today.

Anyone out there ??.....................<:)
