Greg (and everyone else),
I’m just about to start tearing apart a 20B that we’re
going to put in an ES. I didn’t realize, or perhaps didn’t
remember, that it came with a turbo mounted on it. The motor was supposed
to have been built by Atkins Rotary two owners ago, but it’s never been
installed on an aircraft as far as I know. If you’re
interested I can send you some photos of the turbo, from memory I think it’s
called a TurboTek, but I’m not certain.
Would love to compare notes as we chase along behind you.
It also came with a Ross PSRU and some old Australian fuel injection system; I’ll
probably try to sell them both. I’ve been away from the list as I
started trying to spend more time building and less time reading, but now I
need to catch up on the list developments.

The injector
bosses from SDS arrived today, and the Mazda injectors don't fit (big
surprise). What do I use instead, and what size? Should I also
replace the ones in the block, or go with them for a while? Will this
make any difference in the ECU mapping?

AFIK, Tom Parks is the only other 20B turbo flying (very few
hours). I don't know the specs. or even the make but I think it was a
Turbonetics.
Ain't it fun being a pioneer? :>)
