[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...  <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
