It really does need to start at the "get go". Compression ratio needs to
be lowered a little and probably some other considerations need to be
taken into account. Slapping one on an existing engine (like the Aerovee

Good evening Net
With all the hot gas passing lately, it reminded me to ask about turbocharging.
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 i

Dan Diehl did some good articles on turbocharging the VW. I can't remember
exactly where I saw them. I think it was in some of the old KR newsletters
that are available online. Anyone remember exactly where the articles were?

That's my thoughts.

I plan to use the turbo to gain a small amount of sea level power(25%) and
to normalize at altitude. I don't have any plans to fly over 10,500, and
should not need oxy.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced turbocharger system that can be fitted
to the 1835 VW? I intend to use it strictly to normalize the engine at altitude
and not for increased performance, so I will manually control the waste gate,
and monitor manifold pressure. Thanks,

I would suggest that you contact Great Plains Aircraft Supply and purchase a
2180 upgrade kit. Your money would be much better spent going that route
than turboing an 1835. You will need to go into the engine and adjust the
compression ratio, add a dual oil pump and many other m
I had a phone quote from Revmaster recently for a turbo system @ $1,700.00.
The old price lists had it at $1,800.00.
I don't believe that includes the Rev-flow carburetor, but you might want to
verify as I neglected to ask.
