There is a good looking 20b on Ebay.  I am wanting more power for my
Cozy but I'm concerned about the weight of a 20b.  Can a 20b come in at
less weight than a Lycoming IO540?  What weight could I expect with a
turbo version of the 20b?  I already have a CCI engine mount for a
Renesis.  My goal is to have at least 250hp for take-off.  And above 200
cruise.  My altitude in Utah is 4400 ft.

Rick;

My all-up 20B installation weighs 420# - mount, cooling system, exhaust,
baffles, lines, everything; including the coolant.  On a basis comparable to
the quoted weights for an IO540 the weight of my 20B is 358#; about 50 #
less than an IO540.
