Hi All
I Have a question for those who are running
turbos. Today I had 3 phone calls from Max at ATS down here inregards to inlet
position. He has an idea about the overspeed at altitude. Since I wont
be flying for some time I thought you guys might like to hear it.
Basically what he told me was that as we gain
altitude the air gets thinner ( we all know that ) and therefore the compressor
has less resistance and over speeds. anyway he has suggested to have
a separate intake scoop for the turbo . And that way increase the
pressure to the turbo inlet.
Could those that are, or have run a turbo
tell me weather or not you used air from inside the cowl or fresh air via a
scoop for the feed to the turbo. Ill pass the info onto Max, he said
he's been staying up at night thinking about it and really wants to
help.
The only other fix he has talked about is
going to a roller bearing turbo that is rated to 200,000 RPM . standard is
I think he said 120,000 RPM.
HAY JOHN i think I might get him to
sponsor my plane . endless supply of turbos :)
Cheers
Mick
