Thanks Mark..........Very possible I will buy the 20B I me= ntioned so after stripping all the=C2=A0

unneeded auto stuff off I will= have at least a a bare block weight........I certainly would go=C2=A0

for the alum RX8 water-pump/housing mod that you have..........I alre= ady have the RX8=C2=A0

alum front cover.........Not sure I would = do the P-port mod as these things already have=C2=A0

more power t= han I will ever need for my project..........Was planning on a Turbo 13B bu= t

the added weight and complexity of the turbo tends to make the = NA 20B look doable.....

Thanks,

Kelly, =

That's a tough on= e. The 3-rotor weight typically quoted is 295#, but this isn't fwf. Take into = account that I am running dual alternators, an aluminum Renesis water pump housing = and aluminum water pump, p-port intake, and it is difficult to say the fwf weig= ht. What I can say is that my a/c weighed in at 2050#, which is very close to t= he typical Lycoming Lancair. Going by that, I would guess that my fwf 20b weighs close= to what a fwf IO-540 weighs.

Going at it from a different angle, I believe the W&B showed about 550# on the nose gear. = That would be a pretty good ballpark number for FWF. Its been a while, so I woul= d have to check the logs to see exactly what the weights were when first inspected.

Can you give me a wire wall forward weight of your 2= 0B minus the oil & water radiators
