the
wheel!

Like which turbo?  How much boost?

Cooling?

Hi Paul & Wayne,
Briefly, I am using a T04 turbo, the ECU/EFI and PSRU from Tracy Crook.  I
fabricated simple intake(alum) and exhaust (S/S) manifolds and used the
stock intercooler. I am using 3 fuel pumps. Two in parallel for the fuel
injection and the other for a backup scavenge for the turbo oil return as a
back up for the gravity feed to the modified aluminum oil pan.  The Barry
rubber mounts will be installed into the firewall.  I am using the stock oil
cooler and a 26" X 16" X 2" radiator. I am now in the process of plumbing and
mounting it on the test stand. I will have more detail with pictures later
on. Between Flying and honey-do's and the holidays it will take a while.
Happy Holidays to all my fellow rotor heads.  Paul, come over some time and
look at the toys in the workshop. We are at a private airport called Lake
Riverside (4L0) Lat= N33 31.301 Lon= W116 47.844

I know it well Chris. Used to be a checkout airport for people renting
airplanes to fly to Baja. I'll let you know before I come. Looks like
it will be awhile as I need a different prop for the 182 and I am
trying to sell the one I have.
