<x-flowed> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Austin, Q--Will the TSIOL-550 fit in the IVP cowling without mods? A--NO. It uses a single turbocharger in a different location. You will also need a radiator! Q--Weight penalty due to cooling jacket etc? A--TSIO-550-E base dry weight = 566 lb TSIOL-550-C base dry weight = 551 lb This does not include the cooling system. You need to add a radiator, expansion tank, and plumbing. On the Extra 400 it was calculated as almost a wash. Q--Will the TSIOL-550 be capable of running on 93 octane auto fuel with the FADEC retrofit? A--It has not been demonstrated. It has a very high detonation margin to without FADEC. FADEC will not add more margin but will allow you to run closer without risk. The turbocharged FADEC system will have a knock sensor as standard to protect it from detonation.
