Any Corvair, piston aircraft and/or turbo old schoolers out there?
I have what I believe is a Rajay Turbo with Crown components on it. The turbo was part of a Crown turbo kit that was installed in '74 on my '73 914 2.0. The intake on the compressor side looks like a 3 bolt Corvair. My understanding is this turbo was the same (or similar to) the Crown update kits used on turbo Corvairs. I really need some info on Rajay and/or Crown flow sizes on the compressor side and the turbine side (B,E,F - flow?), AR #'s, parts sources, part numbers, competent rebuilders, etc. I have a good reprint of a M&W / Rajay turbo service manual I can 'trade' for info as well. |

QUOTE(Larry Hubby @ Dec 2 2008, 02:46 AM)  I have a Crown 914 turbo kit installation manual that includes the diagram that Jeff posted, together with the Crown sales flyer for the kit - a total of 11 pages. I suppose I could copy or scan them for you, if these are what you're looking for. Also, I used to have a lot of Corvair and Crown stuff because I was contemplating putting a turbo Corvair engine in my 914. The Crown high performance compressor housing for the Corvair was definitely an E-flow unit, and, if I recall correctly, the A/R was 1.6, but that may have been the A/R of their high performance exhaust turbine housing instead. Yes, I'd be interested in copies of the Crown installation manual and the sales flyer. I have copies of both, but they are lousy. Please PM me to arrange email or snail mail. |
