Needless to say I got the DVD.
Here is a rendering. I am coloring some of the parts to enhance the
pictures :)
I'll take my computer to Sun N Fun and work on it there.

Hi Paul, so what do you think can we pull it off? It is going to be a
very tight squeeze but I think we can. My motor mounts are even a
little wider than a stock Long EZ by about 3 inches. Anyway, if I can
pull it off it should be one fast rocket. Thanks again for your help
and have fun in the sun!
Mike C
No Problem Mike. It will fit.
Here is some old and some new ideas.
Paul Lamar
Hey Paul, did you send something? I never received it if you did. Also,
What fuel pressure does the injectors need to work? For some reason I
was thinking 90 psi but now I'm looking at fuel selector valves and most
are rated around 65 psi.
Thanks
Mike C
Not so far.
50 to 60 psi is normal.

I got a chance to take a look and the easiest thing is to make a new
1/2" plate with the starter on the bottom and the right rubber bushing
holder raised about six inches. The tubes will then clear the turbo
exhaust manifold.
If you can't do that I can do it for you as I have a table saw with
carbide blade.
Paul Lamar
Here is how I would do it Mike. No need for a new plate. Just tig weld
some material on here and there on the existing plate. The inter-cooler
is shown on top.

Hi Paul, one more question, I was looking at the picture and it looks
like if I moved the prop flange out another inch we might be able to
lower the turbo inlet air tube in front of the engine and rotate the
turbo compressor to bring it out of the slip stream. What do you think?
Mike C
That is a good possibility. I am at the Orlando airport so I will take a
look at that when I get home.
In the mean time see if you can find a 2nd gen Turbo II inter-cooler.

I have an intercooler that came with the engine that Greg Richter was
using on his cozy when I bought the engine from him. My plan was to
modify it. I'll get some measurements and we can compare it to a gen 2
inter-cooler. Also, do you want me to hold off shipping the plate to
you until you get back from Orlando?
Mike C
I am back but a bit busy. PVL kindly agreed to supply me with miniature
HV coils
so I am redesigning the ignition system around those. I was not looking
forward
to winding my own. Something about reinventing the wheel :)
Get to me the IC dimensions and we can design new header tanks along
these lines. See the attached jpgs. Ship the plate now and I will modify
it and use it in
the mock up. I send a shipping address by private email.
