I bought a used experimental plane. The panel includes an MGL Voyager EFIS, Backup airspeed, Backup altimeter, Garmin 430W, Garmin GTX-327, Garmin 240 audio panel, and a Navworx ADS-B. The Voyager has the horizon, slip skid ball, compass, altimeter, airspeed, OAT, clock, timer, oil temp, oil pressure, RPM, CDI, glideslope, autopilot, and more. My question is, what is the required equipment for IFR and what testing has to be done prior to filing and flying? Any insight and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Normally you have to meet the requirements of 91.205(d). You have to have altimeter and static system certified to meet IFR standards. If you have an encoder, it has to meet the correspondence standards to the altimeter. You need two way communication radio and at least 1 navigation method. In most circumstances you will need a Mode A/C or Mode S transponder and it has to be certified. The only nav radio that has to be certified is the GPS.
