Brian, I am getting the same fuel pressures on my engine. I can see a change in air fuel ratio when I switch on the second pump. It changes from about 17 air...
If there is conflicting info what tac # to use in the EIS, contact Sandy at Grand Rapids to see if the instruments are different. 616 245- 7700 On the STI,...
Thank you for the info. However, it didn't address my core questions: 1. what is idle speed for STi? 2. is fuel pressure supposed to remain the same when a...

Brian, do you have your prop mounted ? The second pump ON always boosts the fuel pressure. ziggy ... Datum: Tue, 1 May 2007 09:48:27 -0500 Von: "Brian Meyette"...
No, no prop mounted yet. I can't do any power runups until I get that done. That, along with lots of panel wiring, is next on the horizon. For now, I am...
Brian, Set the static fuel pressure to 32 psi (one pump on). 28 is too low, you'll burn up the motor going too lean. Don't worry about the two pump pressure....
1. what is idle speed for STi? 1200 engine rpm 2. is fuel pressure supposed to remain the same when a second pump is switched on? + a pound or two. Jan ...
I bought a Gretz heated pitot because of the long delay by Dynon in getting their heated pitot to market. It has not been installed and is essentially new...
Wow, it has been awhile since I visited here and actually saw a new posting. How about a few progress reports? Here is mine. Wings are on and finally the tips...
I have worked about 2 hours on my project since I returned from Sun'n Fun. At this rate, I will be 117 years old when it is ready for first flight. ... From:...
I have a question for the group below. But first the status: I determined to focus on building rather than web'ing, probably lost out on some information, but...
Carsten I bought my engine with gen. I but I never flew it. I upgraded to gen.II during building. I am through now with TWO gen.II gear boxes. The rear bearing...
I can't tell you from experience, but I have heard bad things about the Gen II and have a quite uneasy feeling about mine, and what's going to happen ...
Oh great - even much worse than I'd thought. I guess I won't even be attempting to fly this thing with the existing PSRU. Yet another thing to redo....
Ziggy, Thank you very much for your information. I didn't know the Gen-II was THAT bad of a match to the STi engine. 20 hours lifetime? I am very glad I didn't...
I am looking for any advice as to how I may be able to modify the fuel injectors on my STi engine. I am fitting it to a Lancair 360, which is a very tight...
Brian, I am using two smaller rads with the modified bore on the std. io360 cowl. I am able to climb at WOT/ waste gate fully closed at 2700 RPM on a...
Set idle speeds on gen 3 drive to 1400 for 700 prop RPM to load the drive, The front injector pins can be extracted from the connectors, relief cuts made to...
My right front injector was hitting the cowl also. I usede a small grinder to remove the portion that extended into the retaining clip, thus allowing me to...
Ziggy and all, I have heard that problems with the Gen II may have been a result of alignment problems between the gear box and the engine. It makes sense...
Randy, yes. It may well be an alignement problem. Just think about the dampened flywheel. Doesn´t it allow a more misaligned installation of the gear box ? ...
Ziggy, I think the dual mass flywheel will only allow movement of the out put shaft in the rotational plane, but I suppose the potential is there for it to...
The Gen 3 box may be the way to go, but I have got to stop upgrading and start flying:) Randy C. The Gen 3 gearbox upgrade is highly recommended for the STI...
Jan, First to thanks to you and or Gary for getting the gear box alignment tool to me in time for use this weekend. Second, can you explain about the longevity...
I think I am starting to understand the alignment issue. see if I'm right. The engine is mounted to the plate with rubber shock mounts, so it can assume an...
