Kelly,
As stated below, I have the Turbonetics
60-1, 1.15 A/R with whatever standard wheel is supplied. I don’t remember the specification
for the wheel. I picked this turbo
because it seemed to be the best suited for my needs and the Mazda 13B
engine. It does not over speed and
develops good boost at the right engine rpm. Takeoff is up to 40” MP, 38”
climb, and 30-36” cruise. I
like to fly between 7,000 and 10,000 feet for cross country. I plan to be at Oshkosh for Air Venture this summer and plan
to get a Mountain High Oxygen System, so that I can cruise higher, up to 17,900
VFR. See http://www.mountainhighoxygen.com/index.phtml?nav_id=28&product_id=421

Choices for 13B
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..............

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.
