RPM 914turbo

Hi Seamus,

Could you please rephrase your question?

"Shoot into turbo" is not a term we are familiar with, so we want to make sure we fully understand what you're asking.

Thanks!

when flying at 4700rpm or 4800 rpm if I want to increase to 4900 rpm  it will not do so but will try to go into Turbo

Hi Seamus

The MAP for the 914 shows that this is a turbo "boosted" engine, not turbo normalised.  In looking at the data the engine is boosting to hit the setpoints shown in the data.  Even if you are at a low pressure day, or altitude ( up to 5000 meters) the TCU will hold the wastegate closed enough to hit the MAP to RPM value.  

Think of this, without a turbo this engine is a 1211 CC 80 HP engine.  

Cheers
