Cessna T207 Conversion

 

Engine upgrades available for all Cessna T207 models (T207 and T207A aircraft) Designed for the aircraft owner to remove his existing turbo charged TSIO-520 and replace it with the normally aspirated IO-550 F engine. This upgrade allows the customer to maintain the service ceiling of the standard 207 and get away from the expensive maintenance of the turbo charged system. Same STC propeller kit package supplied as with the 207 STC with a “deturbo” parts package added including additional induction and exhaust parts required to deturbo the aircraft. The deturbo parts modifies the induction system with other parts and replaces to a standard exhaust.

Davis Aviation provides a propeller kit package for your convenience including new propeller, spinner assembly, tachometer, MP/FF gauge, silicone baffling, shock mounts, standard hoses firewall forward (firesleeving included if requested), miscellaneous hardware, placards and STC paperwork. (Extra prop only STC paperwork included if prop option is installed under different STC). If you have a compatible propeller, we can do a partial kit package without the propeller and spinner. Deturbo package (exhaust option #1 or #2) added to the 207 package.

If you are not ready for an engine but need a propeller now, we can offer propeller only option that is compatible with the 550 engine at a later time (in most cases). The remainder of the IO-550 upgrade can be purchased, as you approach TBO, to complete the performance modification. Basically making the conversion in installments.
