Pratt & Whitney R-1830 performance chart

[Franek Grabowski]

Hello
Does anyone have performance chart for R-1830? I am particularly interested with power vs height data - I cannot find them on the web nor in my stuff.
TIA

On what version/model?

R-1830-33 (without exhaust driven supercharger), but actually any will do.

Franek,

I have the original 'Operators Handbook' (Not a copy) for the Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp C4 R-1830 Engine which gives various charts on the engine performance. If you would like scans of the charts please PM me with your email address.
and in the next couple of days I'll send them on to you.

Regards
Peter.

Franek, I have power (sea level and altitude powers at multiple settings using 87 octane fuel) and sfc curves for the SC3-G model, from the Finnish manual.

Thanks guys. Jukka, I think that Peter's charts will better suit my needs, but you never know. I think you have my e-mail.
