Both turbo and centrifigul supercharger typically use a blow off valve in the intake tract to modulate manifold pressure or "blow off" pressure spikes when throttle is closed quickly. A turbo uses a wastgate in the exhaust tract to modulate exhaust flow/turbo speed/manifold pressure. Minor detail lol. Cool project nonetheless
Turbos also use a bypass valve in the inlet for professional applications. Having the valve open and and bleeding off some boost means the turbo spins faster than it needs to. This is good for when you need a sudden response in boost. You dont need to wait for the turbo to spin up.
I’ve done business with Greg and Jack of Geronimo- most recently buying a new Gen-4, 3300. I know Mark personally and consider all 3 of these very smart men, my good friends. I’ve never been treated like a ‘customer’ but much more like a friend. Am pretty sure these guys don’t really have to work as hard as they do but it’s a passion. We need guys like this in our sport. They are invaluable. Thank You guys who push EAB forward.
At 36 inHg MAP at 3150 (take off) RPM the Jabiru 3300 generates ~ 140 to 145 HP, and currently I am flying a Rotec 40 mm TBI. The initial testing was done using the stock Bing carburetor.
