Is it possible to use a Garmin G3/G3X setup for engine monitoring primarily/only? (My gauges are questionable.. one of them is always wonky in some way during flight so maybe spend a few grand to fix a simple, likely electrical, issue right?) It seems that I could buy a glassy EI/JPI/etc setup for $$ when alternatively I could buy a GDU 370/470 (perhaps used), GEA 24, connectors, etc for $$$ and get a little more out of it in the future adding components when I choose. This would also likely replace a Tach, MP, and existing EI monitor just left of the stack. I have plans to replace the steam gauges further left at some point but don't think I'm ready to make to leap yet.. Anyways, I'm sure Garmin can chime in here and list the bare minimum for a engine-only setup.. do I even need the LRU at that point? Appreciate any input on the idea. Sorry about the awful printout but it'd fit in the space provided.
