Hey guys,
I have a problem... I am installing a new FA-120 in a Sig 3D Mayhem, but this engine is the largest size that Sig says to put in this plane. I am able to get the engine on the firewall just fine, but the intake manifold runs into the motor mount. I tried to swivel the intake to avoid this, but there is just no easy way to position it to not screw things up in there. I was thinking of swinging the intake all the way out so it sticks out the side of the cowl, leaving only the intake bell exposed to the outside airflow at the side of the plane. In your opinions - will this work? Concerns of turbulence at the intake are among my concerns...
