Hi Ron
Do you have an intercooler installed on your 914?
No I dont as I rarely use the Turbo boost except at short or high fields
I probably wont bother, (Extra weight when Im already nose heavy)
I would imagine worst case for potential ice would be fine pitch or at least
Having the wind turn the prop with little to no throttle opening?
Is that what you find?
Actually the CHTs and EGTs drop faster when I close the throttle than the Inlet
temp, The body of the turbo would take longer to cool down so still keeps the
passing air warm, I will make a note to check this when I am next flying
I would also imagine the second you begin to increase MP close to ambient
pressure having the prop pull the aero plane, the heating from turbo compressing
air would raise temp above carb ice range.
When I have used the Turbo then Full power for a sustained climb its always the
water temps that makes me flatten the climb not the inlet temp,
The thing I noticed is the inlet temp increased with height even though the OAT
dropped at a constant throttle setting, I assume due to the lower density of
the air passing the hot turbo, Normal cruise 4800 at 28/29 MAP for me

Bud...by any chance, might you have a photo or two of an example of
this mod?
Thanks,

Hello, everyone:
I'll keep this short. This new thermostat is not X-Air's new thermostat, it is
manufactured by my company, ThermoStasis.
Although I don't have all the facts right now, to the best of my understanding,
X-Air purchased several units from one of our USA resellers. It's inexplicable
that X-Air has suddenly announced the introduction of "their" new thermostat.
I am confident that we will be able to resolve this situation as soon as X-Air
responds to my e-mails.

No Fred I don't see any in my photo archive. I just whacked out about
1.5 inches of the top corner to take the edge off. Filled it with foam,
rounded over to transition to the center console top and glassed the
upper side and then glassed over the foam underneath through the access
hole below and the access hole in the top. Later I had the upholster
pad it and the hole in the top of the console for brake and throttle
came within about 1 inch of the curve. The worst part was not the
cutout, it was making it look like the console on the trigear was just
meant to be that way. The cutout went from about two inches aft of the
face of the avionics part of the panel and joined with the rear section
of the console top. Of course his mod would never allow the mono gear
handle to work and will require fiddling if a motor glider airbrake
handle were to be installed by the book...
Sorry Fred, but what I did doesn't work on a mono or a motor glider.
The handles take up knee space for the big guys. A mono is pretty tight
for the long guys. Without the hi-top to get their but back farther in
the seat the knees do get in the way.
