Re: [FlyRotary] turbo wastegate requirements
Hi, Ken....the shutoff is only for a millisecond,
until the boost comes back to 10 psi or whatever you set it at. It
basically just allows enough fuel to go to the max boost you plug into the
computer, and no more. It merely regulates the boost by limiting how much fuel
the engine can get. Paul Conner

Just what I would want is the fuel to shut off on takeoff also I
would worry about a lean fuel mixture causing detonation.

Hi, fellow
canardians. I am still sitting on that fence between turbo or not to
turbo. (I have some splinters in my butt cheeks from that
fence). I was reading the installation and operation manual that
came with my MicroTech electronic engine management system, and under
"setting up" there is a section entitled BstCUT, which says "This
feature prevents turbo engines from overboosting by cutting all fuel supply
when bost pressure exceeds the limit set in theBSTcut screen, i.e: if
you set this value to 10 psi, all fuel supply will be immediately shut off
when boost is 11 psi or higher." Does this sound like a useful tool in
installing and setting up a turbo on my 13b? Please don't flame me, as
I know less about turbos than I know about understanding women. Does
this mean I would not need a wastegate? Thanks in advance for your
replies. Paul Conner, Mobile, AL
