Since we've gotten off turbos momentarily... let me move back there:

Tornado Alley has recently revised their IO360 kit for the C177RG, so I'm gonna try to get the info off them for the turbo they use, the intercooler and stuff. It really doesn't add that much complexity.

Dangit... by the time I'm done, I'll have convinced myself to Turbo the -4 again.

Default TURBO ADVICE & TECHNICAL HELP

Hello Team

Alas this thread has gone quite for a while and just when it was getting interesting - however I am seeking Technical Advice (read part numbers and suppliers in USA and Canada) for a Turbo Normalized system.

I am building a RV8 over at Innovative Wings Hangar (Builders Assist in Canada) I want to add a Turbo Normalized system to my Aero Sport Power IO-400 (215 HP) it will be used in Australia to fly above 10,000 feet (we use Oxygen above 10,000 down-under) to avoid the rather large sub-tropical Cu and cruise away from the summer convective turbulence.

Thus can any member please advise (using a Turbo Normalized System) regarding compatible systems or who may have a skill-set which may be able to help this endeavour?

I need some advice and steerage on what current compatible components are available nowadays and what I may need please?? I am really having some difficulty in research at finding proven compatible systems for Experimental Aircraft.

Most of the systems I was/am familiar with (Turbo Arrow III, Turbo Comanche) are no longer in production (or have been taken over i.e. RayJay by Hartzell). Hatzell and RAM will supply a turbo however will not (liability ) recommend a compatible system...

Anyone...

Foxhound,
I built up a turbo system that didn't quite work right.
After I returbo'd it using Ross' advice, I was very satisfied with the performance.
