I
am selling my Electromotive-based electronic ignition and fuel injection system. Here are some details: I used this system
on my airplane for over 500 hours. It works beautifully. I removed it, in a moment of insanity, because my local repair shop was blaming it for my excessive oil consumption. Now that I have spent the time and money removing it, I can't afford the time or money to reinstall it. I wish I had left it on, because everything about it works better than my "new" Lasar system. It was lighter, easier to start, and zero in-flight management. Just like your car. It's a dual system, so there is redundancy for everything that you'd want (just like a certified fuel system). Here's what is
included: Two (2)
Electromotive TEC-2 controllers for 4-cylinder applications. Each controller is fully independent and includes the ignition coils. Plug leads -
fits a 360 application perfectly. 4 properly sized
Bosch Fuel injectors and a custom fuel distribution block with stainless steel hard lines to the injectors. Each injector has a custom-made "hold-down" to keep the injector seated in the intake runner boss. 2 High-pressure
Bosch fuel pumps and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. The two pumps and the regulator are already mounted on prepreg and fully plumbed. The system allows for redundancy in the event of a fuel pump failure. A custom machined
throttle, with Throttle Position Sensor. Light-weight, simple, and includes the proper adapter to fit onto a Lycoming sump with no modifications. Also includes the support bracket to secure to the engine case. Timing housings
(replaces the mags in the standard mag location - these are Jeff Rose timing pick-ups). All sensors,
including: dual MAPs, coolant temperature, fuel pressure, dual intake-air temperature, etc. I'll also provide the engine programs that I used that worked so well for years... This is not a
complicated installation. There is quite a bit of wire, but I have most of the wiring with connectors, but you'd likely want just the connectors and your own custom-sized wiring. The biggest challenge will be to ensure you have a dual bus system properly configured - then you can be assured that the system is powered in the event of a bus failure. I'll provide the wiring diagrams that applied to my Lancair 360 application. In over 500 hours of
flying the only problem I had was with the timing pick-up units. I had two fail early in the test-flying. Electromotive then began offering a much higher-quality unit, and I have never had one of them fail. The system has two for redundancy in the event one fails. The
replacement value of this equipment is well over $8,000 - excluding any of the custom machining (I don't want to post that for fear my wife might see the numbers). I'll sell the entire system for $2,500. I could get more on ebay for the individual parts, but it seems a shame to break apart a system that works so well. Call or email for more details. Please forward this to the RV list and your friends! Matt
