There is an acrobatic team that uses E85 exclusively. And a few years back, Texas Skyways in Beorne Tx developed several stc’s for running E85 in aircraft. Basically fill it up and go. There were no changes made to the fuel system.

Is there a chart with the torque curve in these engines showing various cams ? I have a carb’d 520 in my 182. It is faster at 2350 rpm’s than any setting up to 2700. Doesnt matter how much fuel you give her either. Could it be that around the 2350 rpm is peak torque , then falling off at higher rpm ?

Is there any issue with material compatibility? I wouldn’t think so, but I haven’t checked.

Who is the best company to have oil cooler lines made ?

Some of these engines will run better with the crossover tube removed and the induction ends plugged. Verified with engine monitor that has individual cylinder and exhaust temps.

I was wondering if anyone has tested these on a flow bench to test the differences.

Does anyone have a spec sheet or know where I can find specs on the above mentioned carbs ? I have a 470 converted to 520 with the original carb.

Does anyone have a picture of the Innovative Acessories starter conversion ?

My brother has started a project with another fellow of building an airboat. Brother is into building race cars, I build rifles and fly airplanes. He told me about the engine he got, and he is thinking about a supercharger. When I went to look at it, its a 0470-L exactly like my 182. I told him abou...
