Titan mechanically fuel injected 320 constant speed with FADEC and possibly cold air induction. I sent Michael Yousik from Teledyne Mattituck Services an email requesting more information about their products and this is his reply.
Greg,
Thank you for your e-mail. The engine that we offer is an exact clone of the Lycoming engine. All of the parts are new FAA PMA approved parts (the sole exception is the connecting rods-they are genuine Lycoming serviceable). The engine that you have expressed an interest in the FADEC 320 with horizontal cold air induction is priced today at $26,800.00. The basic FADEC equipped IO320 is $25,100.00, plus $1,700.00 for the horizontal cold air induction sump. This sump that makes your induction horizontal is the only choice for cold air. This engine is supplied with a manual that makes the installation very "doable". To familiarize yourself with this system I suggest you check our www.fadec.com if you haven't already. This is the website for Aerosance, the company who manufactures the FADEC system. While the system works very well and we have heard this repeatedly from past customers, I am not going tell you that the average airplane mechanic will be able to work on this system. If you ever have questions on the operations of the engine with the FADEC, you should contact Mahlon Russell here at Mattituck, or Steve Smith at Aerosance. The engine is tested here at Mattituck before shipping using the entire FADEC system so that when it ships it is setup and working perfectly.
If you have not yet ordered your finishing kit from Van's and you are committed to this engine then Van's will need to know that you are using:
Dynafocal #1 mount
Fuel injected, parallel valve cylinders
Horizontal induction
We do not have prop recommendations. However remember that the engine with or without the FADEC systems does not have RPM restrictions. There may be restrictions depending on the prop that you choose. This is because of the prop, not the engine.
Lastly, let me advise you that a
