Paul,
Your adeptness at that solid forms Rino package is outstanding,

and

I am

trying to visualize a mounting scheme for a Seawind 20B turbo

that

uses

the vee mounted radiators behind the engine exhausting thru cowl

flaps!

I expect them to be fed by a scoop on each side of the engine

somehow as

I need the bottom front for the intercooler and the oil cooler

inlets.

This will take a radically redesigned engine mount to work, but

there

appears to be enough room. Can you piece together a view of this

mess

without too much effort?
How long did it take you to learn that package?
[Marc Wiese]

Not more than a couple of hundred hours :-)

Yes I can. I need some dimensions of the Sea Wind firewall.
Location  of hard points and locations of thrust center line.

BTW, the Seawind mm has a dynafocal to box frame that SLIDES into

panels

on the front of the fin. The whole engine is cantilevered off this

small

box mount. Very unconventional.

Marc Wiese-

OK Marc. Yes I know here are some pictures I took. I need the

dimension

of that oval shaped panel. On the other hand maybe we could build on
the existing mount. Looks like the best place for the rads is
to use the existing cowl and put them on either side of the
engine with curved cowl flaps on each side. How wide is the cowl?

The turbocharger is a large T18A type and is mounted off the left side
so there is not enough room there. Will get dimensions in trip down to
FL.
[Marc Wiese]

Too bad. Looks like there would be plenty of room for the turbo behind
the engine. That would free up both sides of the cowl for heat exchangers.
Is there such a thing as a stock cowl? The one I saw looked home made.

Where do you figure the intercooler will go?
