Hi!
Is anyone aware of a good build log where the builder has put a -390 or EXP-119 390 into a rv-14 and used either SDS EFI or EFII System 32?
I’ve watched all of Andrew Kilroy’s excellent videos but was hoping for more detail.
I have been recently told that Aerosport is unable to build me a 390, so I’m looking at ordering an engine through vans to lycoming without fuel and ignition, and I want to try to get my head around how these systems work and whether it would be within my abilities to install such a system safely myself.
I.e. I don’t know I would have the confidence to remove a flywheel and drill holes in it or weld an injector boss onto the intake tube of my $80k engine!
I was hoping that I could simply purchase an engine and specify this system from aerosport, but they can’t do it apparently. I haven’t tried Lycon or Barrett as yet.
The Van’s price for the exp is already $54k (likely $85k landed here in aus) - am I adding significantly to the cost of my engine thinking about this? I just can’t bear the thought of having a nice glass panel ifr machine with such old tech as mags (and an inability to future proof for auto fuels etc).
