The engine on my homebuilt aircraft is a small French turbine, a Microturbo 022 Couguar (one version behind the TRS-18-046). It starts using good ol' air impingement, which the manual specs out to 145 psi, 1.21 lbs volume. Now, I always had problems motoring the engine to a high enough RPM where...
