Homebuilt Product Details

The FAT supercharger system is now available for the TCM I0-550-N for homebuilt aircraft. The lightweight system is located right next to the firewall for good C.G. and a compact fit. No cowling modifications should be necessary and no modifications to the propeller shaft are necessary. The supercharger offers excellent performance gains, and has unsurpassed durability.

Technical Information

The supercharger is belt driven off the accessory drive pad next to the vacuum pump. It will run much cooler than a turbocharger and should result in much lower maintenance costs. It will add 7-8000 feet of altitude performance to the I0-550-N. Impeller speed is a function of engine RPM and therefore over speed and bootstrapping are not considerations. There are no MP fluctuations while adjusting the throttle, or mixture. Idle cool down periods are not necessary.

  • Sea level power to 8500 feet.
  • 77% power to 12, 500 feet, 65% power at 17,500 feet.
  • Efficient - uses approximately 4.0 horse power at cruise.
  • Light weight - 27 pounds.
  • Cool engine temperatures.
  • Easy pilot workload - no bootstrapping or overshoot.
  • No TIT to monitor.
  • No pre-shut down cool down required.
