Bill,

Turbo is a GT3076R with Tial 1.06 AR housing.  Oil and water cooled. I have a lot of room between the firewall and the engine and should be able to mount the turbo high enough for good oil drain. New manifold may be desirable.

Bobby

Bobby,

What are your plans for the turbo exhaust manifold for the Renesis?  Will you build one from scratch or try and modify the existing manifold to mount a turbo?  Can you mount it high enough to get the oil return to drain into the sump?  Will you run both oil and water to the turbo or just oil?   Do you know which turbo you will use?  How much clearance do you have between the engine and cowl to mount a turbo on your plane?

I’ve decided to sell the 20B D series, EC2, EM2 and 2.85 gearbox I acquired earlier this year. My business travel schedule is preventing me from spending any reasonable amount of time on the conversion. I do plan to swap the super charger for a turbo as time allows. I have more reusable parts to support a turbo swap than staring over with a 20B. Hopefully that will translate into less time and money. If anyone is interested please contact me off list. I believe the engine was gone through by Bruce T and has never been started. Oiled a pulled through every few weeks.  It will need the rear iron replaced do to previous builders motor mount adapter modification.  I purchased a factory new iron but have not opened the engine up to install. Engine is located near Akron OH.  I have $7000 in the engine and Tracy’s  stuff.
