Eliminating Bendix D2000/3000 Magnetos

Just the full dual ignition, I've only glanced at the fuel injection. My airframe was setup for the carb and my carb had a yellow tag so I stuck with that. It's on the back burner of possible future upgrades, fly first then radios and paint.

For more info on how the Dual ECU version of our fuel injection works, check out the Dual ECU Addendum at the end of the installation manual. It is linked on our Customer Area page.


Basically, both ECUs have their own redundant critical sensors, including a dual crank trigger, dual IAT and dual MAP sensors. One ECU runs the top plugs, one ECU runs the bottom plugs. A panel mounted "ECU select" switch transfers injector control from one ECU to the other. It is a very simple and reliable scheme.

I'm willing to substitute my D-3000 dual-mag with a Single Mag plus an Electronic Ignition System (brand not yet defined).

Does somebody know what's the best replacement to a single 6 cylinder magneto fitting my AEIO-540-L1B5D engine?

Thanks in advance.

FYI, I've chosen Robert's EFII EIGN-6-2R Dual ECU, Dual ignition system for 6 cyl Lycoming, also adding the Bus Manager + VP-X.

I just bought another ignition for my new -8, and a new fuel pump. Man that pump is a work of art.

Robert has been extremely helpful in answering all my questions and dealing with my constant pestering.

While this is an old thread, I'm curious about the D-3000 mag. I've reviewed Mx instructions on it, it looks rather complicated and problematic, and I would guess expensive to overhaul. However, I find nothing on the site regarding failures of the D-3000. Yes, I understand efficiencies possible with electronic ignition, etc. The single point of failure argument I presume concerns the single drive, but my old radial had a similar arrangement and worked well. So, honestly, is there a safety issue with this magneto? Thanks.
