Randy, I'll make a call here in a few minutes, but I don't think Bobby has a .40a, he might surprise us though. I have one if you need a measurement and a picture or two.

Thanks, Hobbsy. I'll take you up on the pics and measurements, too, when you get the time. The original firewall is only 3" behind where the front of the cowl is, so I'll need to make a new firewall further back in the fuse. The .45 cylinder head would end up hitting the original firewall because it would have to be so deep, so it would need to go in inverted. I'm hopeing the 40a will work sideways. If you could get me a streight on side shot so I can see the intake depth, and maybe measurements from the prop washer to the back of the intake, and the back of the cyl. head. I'll be able to figure out where the firewall needs to be. Thanks for going through the trouble. Randy
I talked to iron bay about 6 months ago and he told me that there systems cant deliver enough fuel for the bigger engines. unless they have a new model but it does'nt look like it. Dont quote me and you cn ask them but it was something like up to a 90 2 stroke and a 120 4 srtoke.
I've get a Saito 125 to put in my Piper Arrow II cowling, the problem with the standard header, I have to cut a big part of my cowling, so what I'm looking for is a straight tube with 13x1 tread about 1" max, then I can put my muffler staight at the exhaust port.
Somebody can tell where I should find this little piece?

Randy, I ran the .40a a few minutes ago, the mount spacing,(crankcase width under mount tabs) is 1-3/16ths inch and the carb bolt to prop driver is 3-7/16ths. My camera battery is acting up so I gotta charge it up before I can take any more pics. I used Wildcat 15%/18% syn/castor lube, Fox Miracle plug and a bolly 10.5x6, the numbers are excellent. 10,500 was doable for a few seconds but not sustainable, engine is just past one hour run time. Could not try it with the TurboHeader, the exhaust is smaller than the Saito .50 etc. The idle will amaze you.

Vince, I have run mine on my Saito 2.20 without a problem, don't know why he said that.
Yeah he had me wondering about my own setup and mine is over 1.5 years old. Althoug I did run the pump,well until I figured out that I could turn the nipple over and get the IB off the exhaust.
Anyway The carb rebuild was a success! I had to wait for all the rtv to dry .But she cranked over the first flip.
Ill give ya'll a taste of 1.80 turbo header sweetness later ,first time I ran with it on the 1.80 and can't waite to get her up in the air!
Every Saito I own from now on will get one.
Mike

And i'm just trying to get a little more get up and go out of the trainer..
Well any thought on it would be nice to hear.
linkadrip' it's a TRAINER! enjoy it's slower speed & your trainer will live longer. What kind of trainer do you have? My LT-40 with an FA-72 & 13-6 APC prop will go almost unlimited vertical. I normally fly it about 40% throttle.
Note: you could put on taller LG & go to 13" prop.
If I wanted speed I'd just put that 72 on something slicker.
