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.

IO540's vary in weight just like IO360's..  Angle or parallel valve
(heavy or light)?
