Well you wouldn't want to run over the Ps and Cs flying in the pattern.

 

 

Those poky little guys?  I'm already looking for them.  :-0

Well you could always go to the Rolls 250-C20 Rated at 420SHP and derate it to 310SHP continuous use in the Mooney and make you own Prop-jet rocket.

 

You at least have data about the power and speed from that configuration.  You would need the extended range fuel tanks though 30GPH

 

why not the little czech engine like they use in the lancair? Seems like it'd work just fine. Extend the mount out and a new cowl, bam! turbine time!

coming back with the plane we were down at 8 avoiding wind, IFR, and passed a bonanza like he was standing still.

I could do with another 50 or 100 knots, though.

We could all use an extra 100

If he wanted to mess with us, he would have mentioned running it LOP with the new engine.

Running it on the step?

Then I'd want another 100

Hey guys question. I've been talking with the OP about a trade and if we don't do the deal I still want to help point him in the best direction. Since he his making metal (a small amount) the engine at a minimum needs to come off for either a IRAN or overhaul so with that in mid what does it roughly cost, not including overhaul or removal and replace the engine to up grade the parts necessary to a auto waste gate and intercooler?

So to clarify if the engine was a GB zero time sitting on a stand in a shop what would it cost to bring this up to current?

Here's the wastegate you would need: http://www.merlynproducts.com/blackmagic.html

Here's an intercooler option: http://www.turboplus.com/products.htm

Probably by the time you install both of these with whatever exhaust modifications you need you're close to $15000.

Use the Continental website. They give some pretty good price options.  New, reman, and other stuff...

Good for planning.

Best regards,

If it's making a bit of metal, why not pull the valve lifters to examine them?  A new set of lifters would be cheaper than removing the engine, it's one of the advantages of the Continental lifter design.
