2 thoughts on “Chap 23 – Superior Cold Air Sump

  1. I am about to go with a sky dynamic cold air sump. I understand the mixture distribution on the superior is not superior, in fact lousy. Have you found that to be the truth. Mine will be on an O-320.

    • Jim,

      I couldn’t tell you for certain since I haven’t run my engine yet. I talked to Kevin & co. at Sky Dynamics regarding engine performance, etc. and I think their kit is outstanding. Kevin told me that they tested the ECI cold air induction plenum and it was, in a word, lousy. My engine builder at Aero Engines recommended Superior’s cold air induction sump as something notably better than a standard sump. Given the price was well less than half of the Sky Dynamics kit, and IIRC the fit was better for me as well components and cowling wise, I went with the Superior sump. If fit and money wasn’t an issue, I’d go with Sky Dynamics in a heartbeat. I definitely think you’re making a good call.

      Cheers,
      Wade
