[Diy_efi] RE: Vortec 4200

[Brien Tourville]

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...  <BR>Because the 
lubrication is sealed they can be mounted at any angle,  this is 
a popular turbo for snowmobilers who mount the turbo perpendicular to 
the ground.  Aerodyne is gone, but the technology and 
dies were sold to another person who has since started 
reproducing them (mostly for snowmobiles).JEFF
