EFii Boost Pump module
I am just about to order my boost fuel pump and filter. I came across this fuel pump and filter which seems to be much easier to install and competitively priced at $649.
Has anyone had any experience with this setup yet, it looks very neat?

I have one that came out of the first manufacturing lot, and while I have not flown it yet, I'm very impressed with the engineering and construction. I was given a chance to look inside, and the quality of the parts is impressive. Yes, it is a very-easy-to-install package, and fit the confines of our RV-3 space nicely. The pump itself is very well-proven technology.
I am really looking forward to flying with the thing!
Paul

Hey Daryl, Just sent you a PM. I am building a -7 with the new EFII pump. Any pics and/or learnings would be appreciated.
Thx

Thanks Paul and Daryl for your posts. I went with the Andair pump and filter. I hope we all get trouble free service irrespective of our choice.

Saw the boost pump
My partner and I have started finishing an RV-7 kit that we picked up.
I was in Los Angeles last week and stopped in to see the EFII folks.
Their boost pump sure looks nice, and they seemed like good people to work with. I think we will try one of their kits.

Met Robert and bought one last weekend. Started installing it in my -9A project. Some photos of the installation process (ongoing) are on my web site under Fuselage/Cabin Interior.

gathering parts
Looks like we have decided to use the Airflow injection on our project. Though after our visit to the EFII folks, we decided to use their boost pump. Just looks like a quality part.
Thanks to others for the installation photos of the pump. I'll try to put up a couple here when we get ours in.

I'm trying to figure out how to best install this in the -10. Looked at Bruce's pictures and it gave me a few more ideas...but...
Van's method mounts the pump directly to the bottom skin...so it must be strong enough to hold the weight.
The first picture below spreads the load out a bit more, but the angles will be closer to the flanges of the tunnel sides. The wooden sticks are there just to lift the pump up off of the angle's corner radius.
This one takes up less space, but is weaker in lateral with the assembly's high center of gravity.
Does anyone else have some pictures of their install? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
-Jim

In the -3, I built cross-brackets and hung them it and the fuel filter from a couple of ribs that run from the firewall to the main spar. Might give you an idea.
