Title: Engine Questions
Post by: Delta Mike on March 08, 2006, 12:24:05 AM
Are there any EZs running fuel injected engines? Are there any EZs running the subaru EJ22 (Legacy 2.2) engine? What are the pros and cons of running oli additives like Z-Max, or synthetic oils?
Just curious, I am starting to look into becoming a canard flyer.

A lot of us are running fuel injected engines and electronic ignition.

What are the weight and packaging impacts in the nacelle of the EZs? Are we talking Lycomings and Continentals? Do they require a computer for electronic ignition and injection control?
Do you still keep one of the ignition systems on a magnito? What is the reliability of electronic systems? What percentages do they improve power and efficiency?

Electronic Ignition is lighter. I have 1 mag and 1 EI. No change to the cowl. I would imagine that the fuel injection would weigh the same as a carb---but don't know for a fact.
