Got a picture?

Injectors in the lower cowl space obviously work. It's just interesting to hear the location called "the cool side".

Can anyone confirm the material that the EFIi injector bases are made from? I'm talking specifically about the part that threads into the head. From the pictures, it appears they are anodized aluminum. Also, can anyone confirm the PN of the injectors themselves? The site has a vague reference that they are "full sized".

The website says it isn't available until Spring.
I am "patiently" waiting.

I was quoted a price of $6,195 for the whole system (hardware only, which would upgrade my O-290 to injected / single lever operation as well as dual electronic ignition). Don't know what installation would run, but assume it requires little things like tuning individual injectors. I also confirmed that the entire rig could be re-used on any 4-cylinder Lycoming, although the throttle body might have to be swapped out if diameter or mounting brackets are different. That means you could strip it off and use on another engine, re-mounting mags and carburetors to make the engine "certified" again if you wanted to swap.

From the pictures above I'm wondering how Caleb is going to deal with alternate air for snow, ice and rain conditions?

For those interested, you might want to pick up the latest KITPLANES magazine and read the "Under New Management" article.
