Frequently Asked Questions
Certification
1. Is the XP-360 Engine a new zero time engine?
Yes. The XP-360 Engine is a brand new, zero time engine designed to meet the increasing demands of the Sport Aviation market and airframe manufacturers. Each XP-360 Engine comes with an Operator’s Manual, new logbook and a XP-360 Data Plate.
1. Двигатель XP-360 является новым двигателем с нулевым ресурсом?
Да, XP-360 является новым брэндом, созданным для удовлетворения увеличивающегося спроса на рынке спортивной авиации и заводов, производящих фюзеляжи. Каждый XP-360 двигатель поставляется с Руководством по эксплуатации, новым Logbook и табличкой с номером XP-360
2. Is the XP-360 Engine certified?
No, although the majority of all components are FAA approved the XP-360 Engine has not been type certified as a complete engine. Therefore, once assembled, the engine falls in the experimental category.
2. Двигатель XP-360 сертифицирован?
Нет, хотя преобладающее большинство всех его компонентов одобрено FAA, сертификация этого типа двигателя ещё не завершена, Однако же собранный двигатель подпадает под категорию экспериментальных.
3. What do you mean by the majority of parts are certified?
Superior has FAA approval on all major components and the piece parts with the exception of some standard hardware, some accessories and our state of the art Ryton Ò cold air induction sump and roller lifters.
3. Что вы подразумеваете под “большинство компонентов двигателя сертифицированы”?
Superior имеет одобрение FAA на все наиболее важные компоненты за исключением некоторых стандартных деталей, некоторых аксессуаров и нашего устройства для всасывания- заборника холодного воздуха и ролликовых толкателей.
4. When do you anticipate certification of the Vantage Engine?
The FAA type certification for the Vantage Engine was awarded to Superior Air Parts, Inc. on March 31, 2004.
5. Will the Vantage Engine replace the XP-360 Engine?
No, the XP-360 Engine will continue to be the branded product Superior sells to the Sport Aviation Market. This allows the customer to specify options currently available, yet not certified for his engine, such as roller lifters, high compression pistons, aftermarket fuel injection system or electronic ignition system. If a customer desires a type certified (TC’d) engine, Superior’s Vantage Engine is an option also.
6. What is a XP-360 PLUS Engine?
The XP-360 PLUS incorporates a revolutionary new camshaft and roller lifter design which is based on proven automotive racing engine technology. The new camshaft features an efficient lobe profile and roller lifters to provide many performance advantages over the standard flat tappet camshaft design.
7. If I purchase an XP-360 Engine, does that mean my engine is certified?
No. The Vantage Engine is a FAA type certified engine, manufactured and assembled under the guidelines and requirements of a type certificate number. The XP-360 Engine is built under experimental guidelines and could have parts not applicable to the Vantage Engine, such as high compression pistons, aftermarket fuel injection system or electronic ignition system.
8. Who builds my engine if I order an XP-360 Engine?
Superior’s new state-of-the-art build center is completed with the exception of our test cells. XP-360 engines are assembled at this facility or at one of our approved XP-360 Build Centers. Superior currently utilizes our approved XP Build Centers to complete the acceptance test. We also offer a Build School that allows the customer to build their own engine under the supervision of our trained staff. This option is for the owner who wants to experience the thrill of building their own engine and learn about engine operation and assembly. This Build School was featured in February 2005 issue of Sport Aviation Magazine.
Engine Characteristics
1. What is the difference between the XP-360 Engine and a typical Lycoming 360?
The XP-360 Engine includes the latest improvements in technology and many other custom enhancements, yet unavailable on standard Lycoming factory engines. * The crankcase has been strengthened with reinforced cylinder decks. The reinforced crankcase cylinder deck eliminates deck to deck cracking. * The crankcase offers a balanced oil system. Totally redesigned, the balanced oil system lubricates the camshaft from both sides to reduce oil pressure fluctuations and to equalize oil-flow through the entire engine. * Pressured oil lubricates the crankcase thrust face, reducing friction on the loaded surface of the case where the crankshaft pulls the case forward. This process actually acts as a cooling system as well.
2. What is the type and minimum grade of fuel?
The 180HP engine is approved for 91 octane unleaded auto fuel and a minimum of 100LL-aviation fuel. Superior recommends 100LL, although this is not a requirement. A 170HP, 87 octane version is also available with 7.2:1 compression ratio pistons. The 185HP version which incorporates 9.0:1 pistons requires the use of 100LL.
2. Какой тип и качество топлива?
Двигатель 180л.с.- одобрено использование автомобильного бензина с октановым числом 91 и 100LL авиационный бензин. Superior рекомендует 100LL, хотя это не является требованием. Двигатель - 170 л.с., использует 87 бензин с поршневой группой, имеющей соотношение компрессии 7.2:1.
Двигатель в версии 185л.с., который имеет 9.0:1 поршневую группу - требует использования бензина 100LL.
3. Does this mean I can use auto gas?
The XP-360 Engine can operate and perform at rated power using unleaded fuel. When operating on unleaded fuel, Superior recommends using fresh, premium auto fuel available at a major brand, reputable gas station. Acceptable fuels are specified per ASTM D-4814. NOTE: Use of auto fuel blended with ethanol or gasohol is forbidden. Ethanol (alcohol) mixed with unleaded fuel can cause vapour lock, carburetor ice, reduction in range, carburetor problems and damage to the fuel system. The use of an alcohol (and water) tester is recommended.
3. Это подразумевает, что я могу использовать автомобильный бензин?
Двигатель ЕХ-360 может работать и обеспечивать указанную мощность, используя неэтелированный бензин. Superior рекомендует использовать свежий, отличного качества, высшего сорта топливо имеющееся на АЗС с хорошей репутацией. Приемлемые виды топлива указаны в ASTM D-4814. Примечание: Использование топлива разведенного с этанолом и газохолом, бензоспиртом (смесь бензина и этилового спирта, обычно содержащая не более 10% спирта и используемая в качестве альтернативного горючего для некоторых видов автомобилей: GAS(OLINE)+(ALC)OHOL) –ЗАПРЕЩЕНО. Этанол (алкоголь), смешанный с неэтелированным бензином может вызвать паровой замок, карбюраторный лёд, уменьшение степени распыления, проблемы в карбюраторе и повреждение топливной системы.Рекомендуется использовать тестирование на содержание алкоголя и воды.
4. Is there special or specific oil approved for the engine?
The recommended oil must meet MIL-L-22851, ashless dispersant grades. Multi-weights (15W50 or 20W50) are recommended for all temperatures and straight weight oils are recommended for various average ambient air temperatures.

Performance
1. What is the maximum continuous horsepower rating of this engine?
Max continuous horsepower is 180 HP at sea level.
2. What effect does altitude have on this rating?
All aircraft engines are rated by the amount of horsepower they produce at sea level at standard ISA conditions. Superior’s naturally aspirated XP-360 Engines produce rated 180 HP –0/ +5% at sea level in standard ISA conditions. As with any naturally aspirated engine, as pressure altitude increases, available horsepower decreases, however, this effect does not change the rated horsepower of an engine.
3. Are Turbocharged versions available?
Superior produces a turbo-normalized (TNIO-360) engine for Lancair. This engine application was developed for the Lancair Legacy FG and is sold only through Lancair. Due to the variations in induction systems, exhaust systems and cowlings of the airplanes offered in the experimental market, each turbo-normalized application can be very different and require different sized components. Superior will work directly with any kit manufacturer that would like to offer a turbo-normalized (TNIO-360) engine application.
