Re: KR> KRnet Digest, Vol 9, Issue 36

I haven't used a dyno before. I DO know that getting the power hooked up is a big part of the equation. Prop selection isn't as simple as reading a chart but Ed Sterba and Jeff at Props Inc. are good resources to talk with about how to make that turbo power usable... -Original Message- ...

See Mark Langford's web page about the oxygen sensor mixture display. I exactly copied his setup and it works great! http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/o2meter As for the "mixture servo" I have a Vernier mixture control... John Bouyea N133RM KR-2S - imported, fixed & flying www.bouyea.net/cur_proj/N133

I have been dreaming of cracking this nut for decades, yet only TODAY did I ever see revmaster's turbo 2100cc horsepower/boost graph! mine is 2180 so might be off a tad, but Revmaster did a lot of testing, then put the test setup in the attic. Years later I asked and they dug out the test manifol

Lee I would be interested. I was going to wait until after my airplane flew to address the issue of wheel pants but I guess it won't hurt to have them ready and fabricated when I return to earth safe and sound... Luis R Claudio On Sunday, February 14, 2021, 05:10:38 PM CST, donald january vi

Re: KR> KRnet Digest, Vol 9, Issue 36

I kind of had the same question on turbos I had considered putting one on mine and the over boost was a concern I was just wondering if you knew that 38 inches was equal to 12 pounds of boost which I have no idea just just throwing out numbers could you not get a turbo with a build in wastegat

Re: KR> I might be beating a dead horse but......

Hi John. I think Jeff offered a mechanical method to control your new waste gate. I inherited a different way with N133RM. Gary Sack told me about this feature and made sure I understood what it was all about after Roy's airplane landed at my hangar... The Revmaster 2200DT installation is detaile

KR> Wheel Pants

Netters Does anyone know if John Backer is still making wheel pants? If so if anyone has his contact info it would be greatly appreciated. A local builder is looking for wheel pants for his project. Thanks I’m advance for my help you can provide, Pete Klapp, N729PK Sent from my iPhone __

John, I have a RayJay turbo on my Kr-2 (N54PB 1835 VW), sorry, I do NOT have a waste Gate on the setup. The individual who built the engine, along with help from his Toyota auto engineers who worked for him, sized the turbo housing to eliminate the over boosting problem. I keep an eye on the

I've been without internet since last Wednesday.  Some clown hit a pole with their car and ripped down a cable.  They need to set a new  pole but I doubt they will do so when it is 10 degrees F outside unless they can find a grave digger that knows how to dig holes in frozen ground.  Probably

Re: KR> I might be beating a dead horse but......

I am not using a turbo or a VW... However, you might want to look at something like the Turbo Wastegate Controller for a Subaru. It's a simple diaphragm that uses a line from the intake manifold to pressurize the wastegate controller, which will open the wastegate to regulate the intake pressu
