I have an IO-320 with rear facing sump, Precision FI and an RV6A. All these are in various states of build. Also have a pair of (what look like) cheek cowls as well as the O-320 scoop. I'm trying to figure out what the previous builder was planning with this stuff. Looks like there is about 100mm (4 inches) clearance between the FI unit inlet and firewall when it is all put together.
A few questions:
1. Is there room for the FI on the rear facing sump in a 6A?
2. If so (and I'm assuming the cheek cowls are the new inlets as opposed to using the O-320 scoop), what's the air plumbing look like. does air come in through both cheeks, into an airbox/filter, then around the back to the FI unit?
3. Are these things that vaguely resemble a catcher's mit in fact cheek cowls?
(If the first question you are thinking is why don't I ask the last guy, he's dead.)
