Anyone have a contact of where I can purchase an oxygen regulator?

I did the same and ended up with a 231 also, but a J or K are pretty efficient and reasonable priced to start with.

Yes if going to the vertical limit it does make a lot of difference to have an intercooler and merlin.

I think an intercooler and wastegate make it easier on the engine up high if you run it hard, I run real easy and the temps look fine to me.

I bought my K only about 3 years ago and right away I put in a MVP50 engine monitor so I can watch everything as close as possible, which is very important to me, and now I find out that I totally screwed up and don't properly take care of my plane, guess I will have to start saving my pennies for a wastegate and intercooler so I won't wreck my plane. Just my thoughts?

Has anyone else had the same experience with Willmar?

That is what I was figuring about that 3500-4000 range just sure if there would be alot of benifits to justify the cost.

What do you guys think about the IFD440 campared to a 430w just got an email saying a person could get one for 8800?

Nice choice to start with, buy the right one (brand) right away instead of trading up to one later!

Sleepy Eye MN, when I setup to cruise it seems like the more I lean it the closer the egt's get together. 100 ROP egts are about 50 from high to low. The engine has position tuned injection nozzles, don't know what that means compared to GAMIS but seems to run good but never tried LOP (yet?) I am based out of D42. I'm just not thinking it will pay to upgrade for the fuel savings because I run very low power setting 65-70% so heat doesn't seem to be a problem yet, but only been to 14k so far not sure how much I will be above 18k?

With a little checking and approximate numbers 4000 automatic wastegate 6000 intercooler Not sure if these will be on anyone's list?

I have an almost new tsio-360 took a few trips with it some high altitude and some low and hot. Some the temps I am seeing is 190 on the oil and about 1425 tit and 350 cht that was on a trip to Arizona cruising at about 12500. At low altitudes in 90 degree weather tit seemed a little lower and oil temp still the same and cht and get seemed a bit higher about 360 cht. Bottom line is what upgrades if would you look at and in what order would you put them on?

I think it looks different than that it is permanent tank with a oxygen fitting behind a spring loaded door by the luggage door.

What is the factory fitting on the plane by the luggage area? All the Transfill setups I looked at is a 540 fitting on both ends, will I need anything else if my tank has a 540 fitting?

Thanks for all the replies I went with a 251cu ft tank and bought one through Thoroughbred (www.gaspony.com) and the refill is $28. I still need the transfil but I think I will call Aerox this week and get that ordered.
