25 mm. Install the Ultimate Jets carbon bypass system. This bypass is designed to optimize top speed and reduce the venturi effect. If the engine is installed too far aft inside the bellhousing, this will increase the venturi effect dramatically and could vacuum the fuselage as well as create engine stall conditions in certain regimes. - Page 29 Ultimate Jets - Diamond assembly manual - Revision 4 - 01/01/2015...
