Fuel injection for EJ22

[StanFoster]

Ken...anyone....I am considering a fuel injection system for my EJ22. If I do anything...it wont be until this winter.

What power increase can be expected and how much better fuel economy? Also...are they more dependable? I have been real pleased with my setup in my RAF...but always am looking for more.

Thanks for any responses.

Hi Stan, when I went to the electronic ECU fuel injection and ignition system I picked up 80 to 100 engine rpm, never had carby ice again and the fuel consumption dropped from 25 down to 20 liters per hour. That is what I call a win win win situation.

Or you could go one better Stan ;) and drop on a 914. :D :D

Birdy, Is that what you use? Under the engine thread, I am trying to compile factual numbers for performance. If you can contribute, I would greatly appreciate it!

I have always had fuel injection on my EJ22-powered RAF 2000. I have never used more than 5 gph of REGULAR UNLEADED. I use that burn rate as a conservative estimate for X-country planning. I have never had any problems with the fuel injection system to date.

Gary...Paul....thanks for the info...thats enough to convince me to change over this winter. I burn about 6 gallons an hour average...I can throttle back and get 5...but 6 is an honest avergage...and premium gas also.

I did have carb ice two times so far...but I use the carb heat on landings.

As much as I will be flying this thing...I may as well get more horses and better fuel economy. Like Paul said...its a win win situation. :D
