Anyone on here have much experience with these engines? They seem to be sort of rare C however from what i have gathered they are similar to the 550 C but have a shorter stroke. They are around 315 hp C depending on model.
The reason i ask is that i would really like to go with a continental C but would also like the turbo for those hot summer days. The TIO-550 is easier to find but it seems like it maybe a little too much for the airframe C C C C C
By the way a turbo 520 will run about the same cost as a 540 if you ever track one down.

Drop Mark Frederick an email, he has one in an F-1, and there are two other F-1's flying with Continentals.
You can find him on the Team Rocket Blog.

I had GTSIO 520Ks in a twin commander 435HP each and TSIOJs in a Cessna 414 (I think 310 HP) Great engines, reliable and bullet proof. Don't know about the Cs. I would be cautiou some of the early 520 series had a problem with the cases cracking till they dowelled them and finally beefed them up.
I agree you should talk to Mark as I am not certain the engine mount for the 550 will work on the 520. Also might affect the cowl and where you willput the turbo??????
