Subject: jabiru 2200 Turbo - Just finished and tested
From: "EdgePerformance" <post@edgeperformance.no>
Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has tried to turbo convert the jabiru 2200 engine before.
I have a Kitfox IV with a early model engine witch only put out 50-60HP I guess.
What I have done is ported the heads both intake and exhaust chambers, mounted
a Aerocarb 35mm carburetor intended for the 3300 jabiru and mounted a turbo on
my custom made turbo manifold.
I run 6.5psi of boost and it makes so much more power now after the rebuild and
convertion.
These are the before and after performance on the kitfox.
Climbrate BEFORE - 500ftm NOW 1600-1700ftm
Cruise speed 2900RPM BEFORE - 82mph NOW 105mph
Full throttle level flight BEFORE 90mph NOW 122mph
I have just run the engine on different throttle settings for 6 hours now with
no trouble with either CHT og EGT. All lambda readings are ok as well. The Aerocarb
with the mixture controll makes it perfekt for the turbo convertion.
Heres a link to a video of the first flight and a video of the early build with
the bing carburetor.

Safe flying !
