[Alex Balic]

Hey Chris-

I thought about you when I got it going- now there are at least 3 Texas
based non-lycoming/continental-powered Velocities- counting you, me and Dave
Bertram....

After countless hours of disassembly, checking,  reassembly, fabricating
more  unique parts than I want to remember, and 2 round trips to Canada and
one trip to England ( for the ECU)  to be properly configured, my venerable
turbocharged  Subaru 3.3 liter flat 6 came to life today on the back of my
XLRG

Ran it just long enough to wind up the turbo and discover some small oil
leaks which will be fixed without trouble, but sure sounded nice- started on
about the 3rd prop rotation the first time and immediately on the next 6
starts-  now if I can just get that wiring done might just make it to SNF
next year........ of course I pretty much say that every year..  :-)

 

Alex
