Re-Turbocharged

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Continental Motors is developing an STC to install its factory-turbocharged TSIO-550-G engine into existing Cirrus SR22s (both normally aspirated and aftermarket-turbocharged models).
  • This aftermarket offering aims to capture business from owners seeking turbo power or engine overhauls, driven by a desire to increase sales amidst a downturn in new aircraft purchases.
  • The Continental factory engine promises improved performance, cooler and smoother operation, a lighter design, and future unleaded fuel compatibility, contrasting with the existing Tornado Alley aftermarket turbo system.

If you own an SR22, Continental Motors wants your business. Well, it wants more of it anyway, so it is in the process of developing an STC to put a factory-turbocharged Continental engine in existing normally aspirated and turbocharged Cirrus SR22s.
