Carbon Intake Manifold...mmm
...all yours plus an engine for only $8,500
(though that was 3 years ago) http://www.sdsefi.com/air34.htm Out of curiosity, how much do you think it would cost to fabricate something like that? I was trying to find that web page that has a pretty nice detailed section on svx engines for aircraft use but couldn't find it, does anyone know the link? -Alex |

Interesting. It seems there is, after all, a solution to the fuel management issues that have many saying that you will never be able to due too serious of a turbo mod to the EG33. Looks like the airplane folks have always known that which eludes many who want to turbo charge the SVX. Thing to find out is whether or not there is any reason it would not be adaptable to the SVX.

the only reason the cost of airplane engine internals is so high is because the difference between your fuel management when you're driving down the highway and your fuel management when you're flying 5000ft in the air is rather large, one, your engine shuts off and you start coasting... the other, you engine shuts off, and you die. (notice how he stated redundancy) basically though, it still means it can be done, and it can be done right... we just haven't found the right thing to do it with

Uh, I wasn't referring to engine internals, nor was anyone else. It was about engine management electronics, and anything aviation related is EXTREMELY expensive, for the reasons you just mentioned.

There are a whole host of engine management systems that will work on the SVX.
They include: Electromotive TEC-II and TEC-III Haltec Motec Microtec Greddy E-manage Dastek Unichip Plus a great many more that are less well-known, like the SDS shown in the link. Too bad it's quite slow compared to the more modern setups like the TEC. My personal favorite for simple bolt-on tunability is the Unichip, though it's nowhere near as powerful as something like a TEC-III... you don't have to tune from scratch as with the standalone systems. |
