hey kevin lots of changes from when you flew the plane it was very solid when you where here.
And it has only been going in the rigth direction
but the intercooler exit is still the same it was the big buble on the buttom cowl that i removed.
now it looks like an Rv as you know i have a lot of cleanup to do on the aerodynamics. pictures are comming.
How are things with you ?

Default oil temp

trying to lower my oil temp for some time and i knew i had enough oil cooler but then i saw high numbers and started trying to get the numbers down but nothing helped changing sensor ,more air over oilcoolers litle stuff here and there then this morning i went out and climbed to 11500 in 8 minat 100 knots indicated my oil temp went to 242 F



and then i started flipping switches and it went to 365 F if i turned all on
but if i turned alt field off then it went to 207 F from 242F



turns out if im crusing at 228 F oil temp its only 198-201 F
its fine on the ground not running its fine climbing out but 205 and above its like a bad sensor and its brand new

Default @ the anual mark

So after a very busy summer with lots of flying im now ready to do the anual and inspect the turbo system lots of good trips to cali,boneville,this system has been very solid even in the heat of phoenix the hottest day of the year i was comming back from bakersfield with my dad and just to test temp on all components i was at 13500' running 100-102% for 2 hours and all was in the green truing out at 198 knots we had 15-20 knots on the nose and i still had 180-185 knot gs. This has really proven to be a very solid platform wit 93 hours this year it has performed flawlesly i hope everybody else have had a good funfiled summer wit lots of flying

Just out of curiosity... What was your fuel burn while doing that?

Fuel burn for that kind of flying is of course high so 11.8 ghr
But thats running on the edge of my comfort zone

Does one dare to ask how much such upgrade cost

It is impressive though.
