spark plug wires
Hi George,
The high quality 8mm wires we use can handle the voltage stress.

Mr Paisley,
Does this system also use dual TPS [Throttle Position] sensors? I did not see that mentioned above. I also have a question regarding your electric fuel pump assembly [single pump] Does it contain a pressure relief valve and a check valve, as the AFP system does?

Very first post shows the TPS, and the TB.

Mike,
Yes, but I only see one TPS and in Mr. Paisley's statement which I quoted, he made no mention of there being an extra one, in his "dual" system.

Hi Charlie,
The TPS is a non critical sensor and is shared by the two ECUs in a dual system.
Power and ground are supplied by one ECU and the signal is split to both ECUs.
The TPS sensor is not required for safe operation. It simply supplies an accelerator pump function during rapid application of throttle.
The important sensors are fully duplicated in our redundant systems, including the crank trigger, MAP sensor, IAT sensor, and ECU of course.
Our Boost Pump does have a similar flow path to the AFP unit. The parts you mention are inside the smaller diameter cylinder of the Boost Pump Module.

Mr Paisley,
Thank you for the prompt reply and explanation. The TPS is not as critical a sensor on your system as it is on the late model cars and trucks I work on. Are your components manufactured in the USA, Canada, Western Europe or elsewhere? I ask, because in the past 6 years, I've seen an enormous drop in quality control of aftermarket replacement parts in the auto repair industry. It's getting difficult to find high quality aftermarket parts for certain areas of modern cars and trucks.

EFII
Hi Charlie,
We use some components from high quality manufactures such as Siemens and Bosch. We manufacture all of our proprietary parts in house. Our ECUs are manufactured in Canada and are of very high quality. Quality is a very big deal for us. We also thoroughly test all systems before shipping. Saving money on components has never been part of our business formula. If you have the opportunity to install or use one of our systems, I am certain you will be very pleased with the quality and design throughout.

Good enough that I'm planning on it!
I'll be using it on the FB 8 I'm building. For all the reasons the site lists except extra power. Better mileage, lighter weight, single lever operation (mostly). It's going to be a leap of faith for me. I've always used a carb thus far for simplicity and reliability. However, I've only seen positive feedback about this system. So, I'm in!

At 80 hours, my system is phenomenal. The engine starts quickly and easily in all conditions. The engine is as smooth as a turbine.
The components are built and engineered better than anything else on the market. In my opinion, there's no comapison to what's out there. I did extensive reader he, hence this thead.
The only thing I have left to do is dial in the mapping. That's just a matter fo me learning about how I fly the plane. Like dialing in a "LOP" setting so the system will auto lean when I'm in an economy cruise setting...
Just last weekend, I flew from San Diego to north lake Tahoe(Truckee), at 10.5k, 160KTAS. In 2.6 hours. Averaging 9.5 GPH in cruise...filled up in Truckee, 28 gallons.... that's what I'm talking about.....
