(Lynn Matteson) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 08:11:14 AM PST US Subject: JabiruEngine-List: EFI on a 3300? From: John Lawton Greetings all, A fellow Jabiru owner in Australia sent me the link to these guys: http://www.sdsefi.com/index.html They are apparently doing EFI for Jabiru 2200 and 3300's, along with Lycoming, Continental, Rotax, Subaru, and many others. It appears that their injectors bolt on where the intake pipes normally bolt up. There are apparently several Jabiru engines flying with this system and at least one Jabiru owner using this system who kept their Bing as a backup. Sounds very interesting......anybody know anything about these guys?

This is very interesting....these folks (SDS) came to this site about a year ago (if I recall correctly) and queried as to whether or not people would be interested in an EFI system for the Jabiru engine. I got real interested at the time, but then decided I'd rather have a more "home-grown" system...less reliant on computers. At that time, it seems like the SDS guy wasn't finding an overwhelming market here on this site. Maybe he changed his mind. Also, he mentioned that he would have to build a smaller, thinner injector boss, as their present (at that time) boss was too large. Anybody that feels like searching the archives...if Yahoo has one...could probably look all this up.

I believe their conclusion last year was that they couldn't justify offering complete bolt-on kits but that they would continue to refine their offering with smaller injectors. Seems like they have made good on that. Just wondering.. If you would use Rotec liquid cooled heads, SDS injection gear and Electroair ignition, are you still allowed to post on the Jabiru list??

I don't see why not...after all the basic engine is Jabiru, even if I have made some (I think) improvements to it. But just for the record, I don't plan on using ANY form of liquid cooling, or SDS injection. What I have done on this list is to point out that the rocker bearing material (that my engine came with) is crap....and Jabiru seems to have changed that material. I also had a crank gear fail...as did a few others...and a thousand or so engines later Jabiru makes the gear stronger. No, I don't think Jabiru is gonna kick me off the list for "improving" their engines, especially since they don't see fit to engineer (some of) it right in the first place. Now this may seem like I'm "tooting my own horn", and nothing could be further from the truth. Hell, Jabiru apparently doesn't even monitor this list. But let somebody bad-mouth the Aerocarb, and see how long you last. Does that give any clues as to who does the "allowing to post" here? Don't get me wrong....I love the simplicity of the Jabiru engine, but they made it a little TOO simple....distributor caps and rotors? in 2010?....get real! Oops, I just realized that this is the Matronics list.....so never mind the reference to Aerocarb....that's the *other* Jabiru engine site, where bad-mouthing the A'carb is grounds for expulsion. : ) Lynn Matteson Kitfox IV Speedster, taildragger Jabiru 2200, #2062 Sensenich 62"x 55.5 Wood (winter) until the Prince prop arrives Electroair direct-fire ignition system Rotec TBI-40 injection Status: flying...1074 hrs (since 3-27-2006) On Dec 11, 2010, at 4:57 PM, Rob Turk wrote: > > I believe their conclusion last year was that they couldn't justify > offering complete bolt-on kits but that they would continue to > refine their offering with smaller injectors.
