Re-Turbocharged

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Continental Motors is developing an STC to install its factory-turbocharged TSIO-550-G engine into existing normally aspirated and turbocharged Cirrus SR22 aircraft, targeting the aftermarket.
  • This factory engine offers superior performance, smoother operation, and significantly cooler cylinder head temperatures compared to the aftermarket Tornado Alley system currently used in Cirrus Turbo SR22s.
  • The upgrade also promises future compatibility with unleaded fuel and provides owners with better operational flexibility due to lower engine compression.

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.
