Default This one should stir the pot!

Ok this is definitely in the "just cause you can, should you category", but the way I look at it, if I can push our engines way beyond were you ever would and they hold up, how does that make you feel? :roll eyes: Stay tuned?.

Can we expect to see water injection soon as well?

Cool Sweet

All these new toys, and just before Christmas. I hope Santa brings them, no money left in the wallet to buy all the mods. I have half of the EFII ignition, maybe the other half next year.

Default aux fuel?

That brings up an interesting thought... IF your FI servo or carb were to for some reason stop metering fuel, you could use the N2O nozzle as a crude fuel injector. Use something like a 125HP shot (jet size) and then regulate mixture with the throttle. Remember the N2O bottle has a separate shutoff valve, so you could easily just inject fuel without adding N2O at the same time.

And the other benefit, of course, is to add 125HP at the push of a button...

Only 1 RV had it in 2013, and 1 in 2014. Different planes, both "dry" systems as far as I know (no extra fuel added, other than pushing the red knob all the way in). A GlassAir I FG used a wet system in 2013, and Blue Thunder has used it as well.

Kevin, what is Valdez? Also, in this application, would you drill a second port for an ADI injector in the same block, and run both systems simo?

And to answer your question, I would be very interested in your extreme test results!

Cheers,
Bob
