Bryan;
I went with the 20B on my Velocity SE
because I made the decision 5 years ago. I’d think now the way to go is Renesis.
For the CG issue; move the engine a few inches, or put on a turbo and
intercooler.

I have been lurking in the
background trying to learn what I can. I intend to use a rotary in the
BD-4 I am currently building. It will be some time before I actually need
an engine but there are some questions I have regarding the use of a 13b vs. a
20b.
1: What is the difference
(average installation) between the installed weight of the two?
2: What is the cost difference
in 13b NA, 13b turbo, 20b NA?
3: Do Tracy's
components work with the 20b (EC2 and RD-1C)?
The reason I ask these things at
this point is that I am (as most) building on a budget. I also am at a
stage that I need to make a decision about whether or not to extend the
fuselage on my plane. The back seat in a BD-4 has practically no leg
room. I am looking at extending the fuselage to get 5"-6" more
inches leg room in the back seat. This would work if I can afford a 20b
to counter the change in CG that comes with the fuselage extension. And
there is also the fact that more power is always a good thing.
Thanks in advance for any help
given,
