Winnie Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 What's the advantage of the Garret TFE731 vs. the original engine? the garrets are getting pretty old in the tooth too no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight of the jet goes down significantly with the installation, so the thrust to weight curve improves. The Saphire starter is deleted; saving about 300 lbs. The specific fuel consumption is better. The throttle response is much better. Any engine can be zero-timed…The 731 can be essentially a new install as a result. The TBO for the 731 is better. Parts are easy too. A DEEC is an option for the 731 that the original engine doesn’t have. The original Ivechenko AI25TL engine is easy to find, but finding one with logs is getting harder. The hydro mechanical fuel control for the AI25TL is a dinosaur, and tricky to adjust and trim. My only concern with the 731 is reliability- The AI25 is bullet proof. It rarely quits- I don’t have the data for the 731 lifetime failure rate..could be a non-issue though. cheers P Daywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If you can get a DEEC it'll be super awesome! Sounds like all bonus and no drawback, which is good! Thanks! Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
