this is a C414 Ram 7 Package, no RAM 5

[capgrullon]

thats the ram 7 package

[haydensupra]

turbo and superchargers are tottaly diffrent

[owequitit]

"TS" refers to "turbo-supercharged." "Turbocharger" is a colloquially shortened name for the technical description of "turbo supercharger."

Chengloki, your an A&P Mech, ? thats a worry, for when i was at engineering school, superchargers were mechanically driven compressors and turbochargers were exhaust gas driven. EASA Licenced aircraft engineer.

[Superchad245]

im sure superchargers are mechanicly driven, ive seen a picture of a turbo aircraft engine and it showed a pic of a turbo that looks like a car turbo, at least in car turbo is exahust driven, and supercharged is mecaicly driven, supercharging uses more fuel but is mroe powerful.

[chengloki]

yub, neither will I. But, maybe, together, we'll know more. Talk to you on Y-Mail. But, the "S" designation means exhaust driven. ANd I miss my 414A ships. =Stefan=

[yubyub2]

1) Yeah, it does add quite a bit of weight. In my opinion, if you're trying to get this kind of performance, you should quit recips and go turbine... Conquest, anyone? 2)I thought superchargers were mechanically driven and turbos were off the exhaust? 3)I wasn't doubting your credibility- and in case YOU'RE wondering, I'm a CFI-I (still new though... I'll never know everything...)

[chengloki]

yub, the "S" in the designation denotes that th turbo is "supercharged". In other words, the turbo is exhaust driven. Not mechanically driven. As for liquid cooling, it's not only the weight of the radiators. It's also the weight of the coolant. And the jacket around the cylynders. We're talking a lot of weight. One gallon of water weighs 8pounds. Oh, in case you wonder, I am an FAA certificated A@P. =Stefan=

[yubyub2]

Yep. I'd never heard of it until my boss looked into getting us one. I have no idea why there's an "S" in the number- how could it have both kinds of turbos? I don't know how much weight the radiators add, but they take up most of the wing locker space. They say the liquid cooling makes it to where you don't have to be so careful to not shock cool- FL230, pull to idle and come on down!

[chengloki]

yubyub, whoa, TSIOL??? Turbo, Supercharged,Injected, Opposed, Liquid??? That's a new one on me! The only liquid cooled engines I know of were all Inline. I really can't see how you can make an Opposed engine, liquid cooled. (Unless, of course, you add a lot of weight). Remember, aircraft are darned more weight conscious than humans. That's why you'll have a hard time finding GA ships that are liquid cooled. We ran the RAM IV on our 414A's. =Stefan=
