KR> Turbos on VW Mech. Vs. Elec.

[Jose Fuentes]

Ha ha,

Seems no one has respect for the ones on ebay.

Though there are some very valid statements when you think about it, then
there is Tomas Knight, seems his name is all over the place when it comes to
elec turbos, but his units are 2500 bucks.

There is alot of good information, though it seems to validate the point,
you can't run the turbo at the rate it needs to run to be effective  with
the power the alt will produce. It can only be run for short hops (good for
take offs and maybe stalls, to pull out of them).

Though 2500 for a good elec turbo system is a bit out there, sicne it
requires extra battries it reduces the weight savings drastically.  Seems
the cheaper ones are not very valid as they have no tests I could find to
back up thier claims.

Here are some of the other people:

One would think for 2500 it better work, but I could see alot of people
tempted by $100 turbo to just try it out. I'm sure they see some increase,
but worth the weight and drain?

KR> Turbos on VW Mech. Vs. Elec.

[Jose Fuentes]

I've been seriously looking at electric turbo's not the cheap ones, but some
of the good ones cost as much as a turbo (300-400)  and seem to range from
8ps to 12psi.

Alot less plumbing, less weight, can do on/off when off the air flows though
unrestricted.

Also going EFI so there will be an O2 sensor that can increase the fuel fo
rthe higher air input.

Thoguhts on the subject?

KR> flying KR's with 90 degree corners

[Dan Heath]

I don't believe there are any, at least, I have never seen one and have been
to a lot of KR Gatherings over the years.  Also never heard of any like that
being completed, on the KR Net.  Maybe that says something about the
building time or difficulty, who knows.

See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 
See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN
There is a time for building and it never seems to end.

I'd be grateful if others who have built this way could chime in and  
let me know how well this has worked for you.  I'd also be interested  
in seeing photos of flying KR's with 90 degree corners.
