Just curious if anyone has any opinions about the EFII electronic mag.

A few posts about it over in the Electronic Ignition and maybe Fuel Injection forums. I believe crabandy is going through an install of one right now. I plan on getting it for my 9A, to replace the Slick Lasar system that came with my engine. Already working in the return fuel lines for it as I build my wings. Drop Robert an email, he's *very* knowledgeable about how his system stacks up with others.
Thanks.
I'm starting my planning for swapping out my right mag and would love a drop in solution. (o-320 rv9a).
While EFII ignition is not a true "drop in" solution, I highly recommend it. I feel that it is well worth the extra effort to install it, especially if you're still in the build stage.
I have dual EFII units in my RV-8. Look Ma! No mags!!!!! Last week, comming back from our local "old folks lunch bunch" flight, I was at 5500 ft. 2300 rpm, 23 inches manifold pressure, doing over 155 kts. TAS while burning 5.9 to 6 gallons per hour. Not too shabby for an IO-360 angle valve 200 hp. engine.
Hopefully you're not confusing EFII's electronic system with the real E-Mag / P-Mag. That's another option if you want to consider that, especially as a "drop in replacement". http://www.emagair.com Robert would rightly argue, though, that EFII's system is more comprehensive and probably more efficient.

Being a auto and heavy technician, I really like the EFII set up, so do they have a true dual set up out now? Dual crank triggers ect?
