If you see something that does not look right please let me know.

Is that air-filter going to be able to handle the vacuum that turbo
unit is going to generate?

I think our IO540 has a bigger air-filter, and it isn't
turbo-charged. And it has a lot of metal to keep it from collapsing.

Also, you have what looks to me like a 2" or so exhaust from a
turbo-charger not connected to anything.

You had said something about a compound... are those to feed your
"compound" driver?

Best I can do just looking at a picture or three.

I wish I were looking at this thing from 3' away....

That is the largest air filter available. No doubt there will be
some pressure drop.

That 2 inch pipe has a disk in it with a one inch hole in the exhaust

manifold to dump excess pressure.

Nothing compound about this engine. Just a LOT of HP.

Will you be using your multi spark ignition?
I will be wanting one for my single rotor in the future.

Thats on back burner until we get a confirmation on the patent.
Hopefully in April but there is no guarantee. It is the Government
after all.

We have an MW Aussie ignition on the TTC engine.

Hi Paul,
I think Steve is on to something.
The Lancair I built had an intake air bypass which was opened after
take off.
This reduced the intake filter pressure drop. Potentially lots of Hp
there!

That's true. Mooney's had those and they would pick up one or two
inches of manifold pressure. We have something like 60 or 80 inches
of manifold pressure to work with. If it is a problem I will build a bypass
after we test it. I use to rent a Mooney from time to time.
