My RV-7 came to me with a G3X Touch, GTN-750, GFC-500 and, unfortunately, a JPI FuelScan 450 and EI-UBG-16 engine monitor. It also has Van’s fuel, oil pressure, oil temp, MP, and tachometer, none of which have alarms or annunciators. I’d like to upgrade and streamline this arrangement.
Recent posts here have soured me on the Garmin EIS interface with the G3X, as I want to see all 4 bars for the EGT and CHT all the time. My Cessna has a JPI 730, which I like a lot, and which talks to that airplane’s GTN-650.
So I’m looking for recommendations on this. The Garmin EIS has the obvious advantage of taking up no panel space and should be cheaper, since it doesn’t require me to buy a new display. But, like I said, it looks like it doesn’t show what I want it to show. Like everyone, I’m interested in price, but I’m more interested in ease of installation, including interface with the existing probes and displays.
Thanks in advance.
