Looks like lotsa fun ! Good job ! The only thing I would be carefull of though
is where you have returned the oil from the turbo to the engine. After going
through the high speed bearings the oil can get quite frothy and in this state
can have difficulty getting back to the engine when returned to the bottom of
the oil pan against liquid oil head pressure. If this is the case, what sometimes
happens is that foamy drained oil backs up into the bearing housing and
floods it's way past the labyrinth seal on the turbine wheel. Typically oil is
returned to a location above the oil level clear of the spinning crankshaft so
as not to be "picked up" and add mass to the crank. Not easily done, especially
on the Jab. 2200 !!
Did you use an automotive turbo or is it a custom ordered type ??
What size prop did you install to take advantage of the newly found torque ??
Again, nice job and good luck !
Don

Hi,
Thanks, I use a old draw through non ball bearing turbo with graphite seals to
prevent fuel mixture to enter into the glide-bearing.
The oil drain is no problem. I have watched the return oil dripping into a clear
bottle and its not foamy.
I use a jabiru 85hp GT-Prop from a sonex Not sure of the length and pitch, but
the 85hp engine it sat on didn't make more than 3000RPM level on full throttle
I believe.
I also have a ground adjustable sensenich prop. I only managed to get 2850rpm`s
on full throttle level flight on the mildest pitch setting #1 before the convertion
and now it does easely 3200rpm on ground on pitch setting #5. So I believe
it makes some where between 100-115HP on 6.5psi of boost.

Do you think the Jabiru is capable of holding up under the increase
in power?

I'm interested in seeing the real world longevity of the changes as well
- 1/2 TBO, sounds like a fun thing to do; 1/16 TBO and then I'm probably
not interested; no TBO difference - where do I sign up!
The one things I haven't had a chance is to fine tune my 3300A setup. I
know that there is some HP I'm losing because I don't have a perfect air
intake and so on. It amazes me how a small change can make a noticeable
change in HP even in a 'standard' setup.
Any testing for altitude and how the HP holds up when above 10k?
Don

Haven't been over 10k ft yet, But even at 6 and 7 thousand feet it climbs just
as good as on 1000ft.
I have had only 6 hours on it now, but will fly as much as i can.
