Big Snip

This monumental discussion of which came first, the chicken
(displacement) or the Egg (air pumped) has lost the answer to the
original question asked by Don.

"I just wanted to know what turbo would work best on my 20B."

Any help for Don?

First we have to fix the spreadsheets that answer the question:

"I just wanted to know what turbo would work best on my 20B."


Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Don,

I share your dilemma.  It gets worse though:)  Considering that you are
going to be FLYING with this engine, several of the turbo experts mentioned
on this newsletter suggest you buy a turbocharger rated for aircraft use.
This means one with a higher content of nickel in the turbine housing and
one that is manufactured with tighter tolerances and more throughly
inspected.

Tom Park's 20B used a TE-06 turbine out of a Continental aircraft engine.
