That really is something. Check out the bend radius of that control cable in the bottom left of img #2. That doesn't actually work anything does it?

What is the black cable that looks bundled up in a figure 8 knot of sorts in Image #2? Can't figure what it is and why so much extra length is left.

So that means there are 13 more aircraft out there that are the same or worse? Most of us get better with each build.;(.

Of course the obvious is that all the fuel lines are packed in just about the hottest part of the engine compartment. It's no wonder the engine died as soon as you turned off the fuel pump.
This just underscores the necessity of the EAA Tech Counselors or other 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc "set of eyes" looking at your project.

did that engine come out of an updraft installation? (inter-cylinder baffle plates)
Wow. - stuff directly ty-wrapped to the engine mount tubes.
- Ignition leads tied to fuel lines.
- I don't know anything about injection setups, but isn't there supposed to be a return line?
- Plus what the others have pointed out.
The air-cooled GPS antenna tray is interesting.
I don't even want to look behind the panel....

The fire sleeves on the fuel lines to the spider (both forward and aft of the rear baffle) are too short and not sealed at the ends.
That also looks like a pretty small wire on the B lead of the 20A standby alternator.
What's the black hose with the blue tie-wraps at the bottom left of image 2? That looks like cheap lawnmower or automotive fuel hose. Please don't tell us that's the fuel line to the servo?

No clamps on the ends of the firesleeve.
Looks like Nyloc nuts on the adels holding the injector lines.
Pic #3 shows injector line adels of significant difference in size. I wonder if one adel is the wrong size.
What is the baffle material for located above and aft of the aux alternator?

I bet that is the cord for his engine preheater. I know because I have something similar under my cowl. Just that, not the rest of the abortion.

No, a return line is not required for this type of injection.

One other thing...
This fuel injected airplane also had a big aluminum gascolator/heat sink. (You can't see it in any of the pictures I took.)
