One of the factors I'm weighing is the availability of an injected engine. Has anyone have any information on an IO-320 installation? Van's web site only calls for the O-320. Thanks and regards, Rafael ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:45:51 PM PST US From: John Morgensen Subject: Re: RV9-List: IO-320 I am building a 9A with an IO-320. The Superior cold induction sump issue is supposed to be resolved "real soon now". In the meantime, my engine is on order. I have been offered the chance to change the configuration but I can still afford to wait. Talking to Van's engineers, I will end up using the same cowl as the -7A angle valve IO-360 without the "snout" under the chin. The forward facing servo will be fed air from the left "nostril" instead. It's a little hard to see because of the prop blur, but the red RV on Van's main page has a smooth chin. If you follow the link to the RV-8/8A, the 3-view drawings show an 8 with a snout and an 8A with a smooth chin. The vertical servo in place of a traditional carburetor would be a much easier installation. It would look just like an O-320 and use the same cowl, intake, etc. The biggest difference would be the fuel boost pump. Hope this helps, John Morgensen Rafael wrote: > Im considering building an RV9-A. One of the factors Im weighing is > the availability of an injected engine.

Having never set up a hydralic system before I have no experience to draw on and am not sure what I am doing. Could someone with more experience advise me before I make a mistake and drill a hole in the wrong place?

He has an RV-7A with an IO-0-360 with the smooth cowl without the fish mouth lower induction opening. It his opinion that if using an injected engine the best choice is an updraft induction sump and use the cowling with the forward facing fish mouth. He said his test indicates that gives 1 1/2 more inches of manifold pressure. You might want to give him a call. Dennis Thomas --- John Morgensen wrote: > > > I am building a 9A with an IO-320.
