Good Day I have a friend who owns a kr turboed the motor has a about 400hrs to date only problem that he had was losing the plane during take off resulting in an overhaul of the motor, He is using a RAJAY B025 if that means anything, I'll get more info off my turbo over the weekend for you as well as the cam specs, please note these are used on a Type IV 2.0lt. he uses the following figures 45" during take off and then throttles back to maintain 40" for the climb out reducing it to 30" for the cruise. Note that he has no waste gate installed, you just have to watch the boost gauge.

My KR started life with a turbo. It was removed before certification due to failure which was my fault. My goal is to create more power. I would like 100 hp and feel that this is only a modest increase to squeeze from my type IV. I need info from any and all turbo'ed KR. Pictures would be nice, and all opinion and discussion is welcomed. Any info with pictures please send off net. I seem to have a couple of turbo's available, both oil cooled. I plan to use a waste gate to control boost pressure. My bird already has a manifold pressure gauge, and oil temp. I have looked at a lot of sand rail web sites and gotten some info. Most of it is not applicable as it relates to an aero engine. I have converted a 2.3 liter car to a turbo intercooled car and love the extra power. Several of the issues that I have considered are: detonation, which can be controlled by use of 100LL and by timing; Compression, which can be reduced with barrel shims; and mixture which can be changed with a different jet.
