Watching tractor pulls on ESPN2... The big alcohol-burning beasts are running three turbos, multistaged, pushing up to 100lbs of boost.
top fuel dragsters are running like 70-90 i heard (supercharged)
yeah. They just weld the heads on. You can do that with our little engines and run 25, easy.

get aluminum cylinders. Duh.
I wonder if Jake has ever tried that one?

Nope...
Just do like a Lycoming and THREAD the heads onto the cylinders like a big pipe!
Check out varible geometry turbos. Some of them are in the neighborhood of 70 lbs of boost with a single turbo.

yea, I was looking at those, Jake talked me out of it...way too much work I guess?!?!?!? |
When you turbo a typeIV all the boost goes past the rings.
Seal the rings and it goes out between the deck and heads.
Seal the heads and it goes out the valve guides.
And oil starts coming out of places that never leaked before.
...but its fun to drive.

personally, I like the idea of the head and cylinder being one piece....harder to do a valve job, but doable and is currently offered as is for Type I light aircraft applications..... |

it would be easier if the cylinders are 2 piece...the cylinder screws into the head and the fins slide over the cylinders......sounds expensive personally, I like the idea of the head and cylinder being one piece....harder to do a valve job, but doable and is currently offered as is for Type I light aircraft applications..... |
