Bob,
I presume your turbo is a TO-4...........Do you know which turbine wheel you have ?.............I have been talking to "Turbonetics" about a TO-4, 50-1 trim,
1.15 a/r turbine housing and they say my only choices for the turbine wheel are
the F1-65 mm or the F1-68 mm with the 1.15 a/r housing...........I have indicated
flight up to 18,000 ft (not often) and they have suggested the F1-68 mm to avoid
overspeed at high altitude............
I have compared the TO-4 50-1 and 60-1 compressor maps and used 25 lb/min
airflow at a max 1.7 p/r (approx 10 psi boost or 50 in/mp).......Both the 50 & 60 -1 look good on the flow charts and wondered what the factor was for your choice of the 60-1..........
Realistically I will not use over about 5 psi or 40 in/mp and will just normalize most of the time......
I would like to know what boost figures you use for take off, climb and cruise
plus what altitude you typically cruise at..............
Thanks

My turbo is a Turbonetics 60-1 compressor trim, with 1.15 A/R divided tang, oil to bearings, and water cooled. See the following link.

There’s also a guy in McKinney. I can’t remember his name, but you could find it on the EAA website.

Al,
I am about 70 miles SW of DFW at Pecan Plantation (0TX1), and Jason Hutchison also has a rotary-powered RV-6A here. Feel free to visit anytime. Neither of us is an A&P.
