The difference in engine life is that the turbonormalized engine is
producing more average power over its lifespan. The only time that a normally aspirated engine pruduces rated power is on takeoff at sea level, a rare occurance. The turbonormalized engine produces full power a lot of the time and at higher altitudes where the engine doesn't cool as well. Additionally the turbonormalized engine will run hotter since the inlet air is always going to be hotter (even with an intercooler).. Mike MU-2 "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... If differential pressure it now what wears out cylinders in turbo engines are you implying that its over boosting? In the Mooney community is mostly agreed that a 201 (non turbo) will give you twice the cylinder life as a 231 (turbo). Other wear factors (heat, less air over the cylinders) are the same for turbo-norm vs. regular turbo. The only difference I can see is the "idiot" difference of accidently over boosting. |
