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.

 

Michael

Hey Tracy;

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?

Thanks;

Greg

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? :>)

I need to know what turbos you guys have had the best experience with on 20B's.  I have to go buy one quickly as my welder guy is moving faster than I thought.  The suppliers are only guessing.  I plan on using a manual wastegate, and a 90 mm throttle body.  HELP!!
