  • 520 cylinders of your choice are installed

  • 520 counterweights are installed on the existing 470 crankshaft

  • Fuel injection divider at the top of the engine is replaced with the 520 version

  • Fuel controller is set up for the 520 fuel flows

  • New cam shaft gear will be in compliance should this become an AD

Bottom Line:

This is the most economical performance increase to your IO470. It makes a lot of sense to do this when overhauling an IO470, increasing the displacement by installing larger cylinders.

Increases TBO to 1700 hours.

 

Gain IO520 performance at wide open throttle settings
