Hi @Sam Oliver they are on this build
1 wider consul, all switches in plain sight and reach
2 new oil tank with a breather through an oil catch can
3 radiator overflow tank with sight glass
4 new cooling system
5 delete belt driven fan and replace with electric fans pulling the air in (not trying to push the air) [saves approx 3" MAP or 10HP]
6 engine bay exhaust fan to evacuate the engine bay hot air (not in these photos)
7 delete fuel injection system and all FADECs replace with a TBI (not installed in these photos)
8 in the tub air to oil coolers with 2 x electric behind them, (not in these photos)
9 in the tub air intake, cold air induction (not shown in these photos)
10 my own design cog belt drive with elastomeric belt tensioner, same size and ratio as the Talon drive system, designed around the spoke design of the chain large sprocket) (I am able to offer to purchase)
11 all toggle switches show a red ring when off and a green ring when on
12 Pilot & Pax separate adjustable air vents in the consol
13 Earth X battery up front where the Talon mounts its battery
14 Air fuel ratio gauge in consol as the TBI can be adjusted via an in cabin mixture control (not shown in these photos)
15 pull in style main belt tensioner with electric actuator
16 outside air scoops to feed air directly into the top of the radiator (not shown in these photos)

If anyone is interested in seeing more photos let me know.
all these changes have been done by me on another couple of RWs that I have built and the performance figures I quote are confirmed by others with comments from very experienced helicopter instructors that the power available is significant

@Graeme Smith Wow, nice work!! Yes, of course, please share as much of your work as possible! It's great to see experimentation going on! I think in the near future I will create a special award for people who demonstrate quality experimentation/innovation. Of course, the awards here don't have any real use but they're just for fun/bragging rights.
