Need a Wren 44 turbinewheel and NGV.
Hoi everyone.
Does anyone knows where I can get Wren parts? a Wren 44 turbinewheel and NGV.
Read that Mike Murphy has stopt the old Wren shop.
I'm looking for a NGV and a turbine wheel, a friend of mine has flow'n to long with a worn rear bearing, this problem has occured/caused an broken turbine wheel, all blades are gone
and a distorted NGV witch isn't round anymore.
It is no problem at all for me to fix this turbine but I need this 2 parts to go further.
Hopefully can somebody help me or give me advise where I hopefully can get these parts.
Has already contacted Uwe Kannapin but he advices me to sent in the turbine to him.
Then this repare will be around 1000 euro's, way to much offcourse for an old turbine, you can buy now an new Kingtech 45 for 1650 euro.
And probibaly much beter quality then the old Wren.
Kind regards Ger Kovacs.

There are contact details there.
However AFAIK Wren have never sold turbine wheels or NGV for the 44. It has never been a home builders engine - unlike the 54 series (now 80-100). They will do a repair for you but they have always taken the line that the 44 is not suitable for home assembly and they don't want to support the problem cases that would arise. Having said that I would recommend that you contact Mike via the website and see.

Well, had a very nice conversation with Mike and Leonie what resulted in a few Wren 44 parts and finally resulted in a very fine running 44er again.
Had a rough cast NGV send to me, take about an hour of two to machining the NGV perfect fit for my old engine, fitted it in the engine, first a short run with a few old bearings to a rpm of about 150K, EGT oke, acc oke balance oke, after that a set of new bearings fitted and a well balancing the little devel is now running very smooth on a very fast acc setting,
The reborn engine gets a new life in my small home build F18 from 1 meter span and a length of 1.45 meter, fueld up weight is 3.8 kg.
Thank's, Mike and Leonie for your trust and beleving in me, wil send you further details about the 'reborn' 44er.
Hopefully your buisness will be running fine again by now.
Kind Regards Ger Kovacs.
