[Diy_efi] Turbo Vortec 4200

[Brien Tourville]

Sir,
Aerodynes were fun.  I had the privilege of working with them since 
1978.
Today, the former owner/managing director, is one of my business
associates.

I have an Aerodyne on my own Miata.  It has worked well for a decade. 
We
actually manufactured the kits that were sold. Your friend has one of
them. I hope it has worked well for him.

With regard to the big six, I would urge you consider using one 
turbo.  I
see zip for value in two.  Complexity increases with the square of 
the
number of turbos.

The secret of an Aereodyne turbo is that it has sealed bearing 
lubrication like a supercharger.  My friend has had one on his 
miata for 8 years now, they are good @ low boost, but @ higher 
boost tend to implode because of thermal issues from lack 
of cooling.  There is some maintence required, oil change every 
15k
miles, the oil is $40 a pint or so...&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>Because the
lubrication is sealed they can be mounted at any angle,&nbsp; this is 
a
popular turbo for snowmobilers who mount the turbo perpendicular to 
the
ground.&nbsp; Aerodyne is gone, but the technology and dies&nbsp;were 
sold
to another person who has since started reproducing them (mostly for
snowmobiles).JEFF
