Turbo Shark

[@scottk9591]

I'm just amazed at all the engineering that went in to making this engine installation work. Quite impressive!

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Thank you. It was indeed a big challenge, and perhaps only 70% of it was covered in this video.

Would be enterntaining to see how an old school mechanic screams looking at that fwf. 🤣 I want one!

[@tinolino58]

Interesting to see these red glowing exhaust pipes winding through the installation. What a nightmare!

[@divyajnana]

Sanno job! Beautiful work!

[@ulfbjrtomt7165]

Utrolig fin. Må komme å ta en titt på denne😊🛩️

Wonderful Work. But an Installation Nightmare for your Fingers. Regards from Germany

Very clean work

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Thank you sir

I take it that this is an EU-certified Light Sport design? A beautiful aircraft and I bet it’s fast! 180kts?

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Correct. It’s an ultralight, but I built this one as a EAA Experimental. 200KTAS at 12-14.000’

Was FADEC a possibility with this engine/prop/fuel system?

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Not on the Shark. Not enough space.

Just wandering if the new 917Ti with 180 horsepower would fit in the Shark ??? To see that the 917Ti engine is the exact dimension with the 915 and 916, but the current engine in the Shark is the 914Ti, as if I could have the cake and eat it too, the 917Ti with 180 horsepower would make the Shark into a flying rocket indeed !!! Just get a little greedy on Christmas of course !!! :)))

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

It would not due to the 915 being approximately 2” longer and too heavy CG wise. We’ve installed the EP912STi Gen2 in our new Shark which enables it to fly past Vne, so more power is really not needed.

Does all of your oil flow through that laminova cooler? On my 915is I found that size laminova to cause a greater than preferred drop in oil pressure. Still in the green but definitely noticeable. With a 912 maybe it will be entirely different.

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Yes, but you need AN10 fittings on the 912 and AN12 on the 915/916. One size up to counter the increased suction force.

[@jeremyjabaay]

@@EdgePerformanceNorway I found it wasn't the fittings that where the restriction. It was the core itself. I feel that core is more designed for Air to water not oil to water. So I made a new core that had a 5:1 Oil:water surface area ratio. The cross sectional flow area was about the same however the amount of surface friction on the oil was cut by about a factor of 5. That fixed my pressure problem.

Ser flott ut Thomas 👍💯

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Takk for det 😊

Passenger should not have BRS handle

[@EdgePerformanceNorway]

Of course. What if I fly with my sons or wife and I get a heart attack?
