| ? The automotive front becomes aircraft rear; Tranny side becomes PSRU, so you are right about the starter location, that is on ‘rear’ automotive housing, my bad. I’m guessing oil pump, water pump, alt, crank angle pickup (20b uses old style distributor while 13brew TT uses crank angle sensors), other subtle changes for brackets, etc? A la Mistral mount?

I think he's talking about the other end.

I would be interested in 2 or 3 of them. What ‘features’ would it have? Would it use the standard AT bolt pattern for the AT reduction starter, etc? All 20bs were AT, as were many 13b rew TT and Cosmo engines (which I concentrate on)Marc Sent from my iPad On Jul 8, 2020, at 3:17 AM, Kelly Troyer keltro@gmail.com <flyrotary@lancaironline.net> wrote:
I am in contact with a person with the design and manufacturing capability to produce an Aviation Specific 13B/20B Mazda Front Side Housing machined from 7075-T6 with mount points that would allow these engines
to be a bolt in to the engine mount ring (30 degree number 1 Dyna) as used by the "Vans" RV-10 and other aircraft that use the Lycoming O/IO 540 engine..........This side plate is in the preliminary design stage and at this
point I am a go between to see if there would be any interest in this product if and when it is produced...........I personally am interested this side plate........As we on this forum know both the 13B / 20B are capable of truly
amazing power levels both naturally aspirated and turbo boosted.........The 20B would make the Van's RV-10 , Glasair 3 or Lancair's that use the Lycoming O/IO 540 an easy 300+ hp almost bolt in engine...........
The "Reno" Sport Class "Glasairs" and Lancairs" are producing almost 400 mph speeds using dual turbo Lycoming IO-550 engines that are virtual hand grenades pulling over 700 hp...........There are turbo 20B's pulling
1200 hp out in the auto racing world with good reliability..........A 20B boosted to 700+ hp is not even breathing hard.........IMHO
Would like to hear what interest there may be in this product if and when it may be produced............Or any comments pro or con..............
