Hi, So whilst 15 years younger I bought a kr2 project and a new 2180vw conversion from Steve at Great Plains. I told him I would be turbocharging it.
I found used revmaster turbo manifolds, a rayjay turvocharger, and used dual revmaster oil pump. I got it all together and ran it a buncha times. Oil pressure was always 40 to 60 psi, all good, right? Along the way I noticed my dual 4 gear oil pump had common input and output galleries, so really was not two pumps, but rather a single double capacity pump. Also I noticed a lot of soot dots, very small from the exhaust making the airplane oily, sooty. And while cooling down the turbocharger, makes popcorn noise. Odd.... Additionally I found all references to this setup use the two pumps completely separately, so have decided to go that route. Anyway I ordered a new dual pump to separate the two, now I am wondering who knows these ray jay turbochargers? Disassembly, inspection, repair? I am thinking I should check it out... Any Ray Jay guys here? thanks jg _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
