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.
Re-Turbocharged
Key Takeaways:
- Continental Motors is developing an aftermarket STC to install its factory-turbocharged TSIO-550-G engine in existing normally aspirated and turbocharged Cirrus SR22 aircraft.
- This initiative aims to capture aftermarket business and offer a factory-backed alternative to the Tornado Alley turbocharging system previously chosen by Cirrus for its SR22 Turbo models.
- The Continental TSIO-550-G engine offers superior performance (speed, climb), cooler and smoother operation, more flexible power settings, and will be lighter and compatible with unleaded fuel.
- The modification is presented as a financially attractive option for owners of normally aspirated SR22s seeking turbo power, with a "drop-in" installation.
