The Allison model 250 I was thinking of could be the B17 or the B20. 450HP, optimized for altitudes around 17000ft (where I usually fly anyway), 22-25gph.
So the specs sounds promising, the wallet not (it is very expensive), it is very light. And they have them in some bonanza's (Tradewind conversion).
But....there is not much info about it on the web, and so far as I can see there was 1 Lancair 4p who had this conversion done in Germany.

Hello guys
I am thinking to replace my engine with an Alison Turbine as the specs looks so .....promising, but.....am I making myself happy with a 'dead cat' lol
What do you think of a Lancair 4p with an Allison Turbine engine?
Would appreciate your opinions, thanks
