Re: exhaust i was working on today
no. they only turbo airplanes for high altitude flying. i really dont know why they dont use turbos to make more power though. that is the complete exhaust on the plane. that exhaust adds quite a bit of power. airplanes make power a lot different than cars. they want zero back pressure and only rev to 2700 rpm. that plane makes about 310hp at 2700rpm, its also a 540 cu.in. 6 cylinder

Re: exhaust i was working on today
Before anyone yips about how little power it makes for the displacement, everyone has to remember that aircraft engines, like marine engines, are designed to operate at heavy loads for an extended time....so for the same displacement as an automotive engine you get less power due to more conservative tune. A lot of marine engines run 1 degree ATDC total timing.
