RE: Turbocharged nitro engines
Thinking a bit more about it you could add a thicker head gasket and then make some longer pushrods. This engine really would be a great start, you get a built in rpm sensor, egt or cht sensor, and a throttle body injection system. Throttle position is very easy to read with a Y-harness. A good manifold pressure sensor would be the MPX4250AP, will measure 0 to 36 psi, which at sea level is typically around 21 psi of boost - way more that we need. It's really easy to read with any microcontroller with an ADC.
