Marc, Simple digital systems in Canada markets a system with
secondary
injectors for boosted
engines. They have a good rep wiiith everyone I've talked to that
uses
their stuff. Point of fact
in Livermore there is a 1/2 scale p-38 using two suzuki swift
engines,
(normally aspirated), they
could never get it to run correctly on the stock injection but the
SD
system worked perfectly on
both engines. Why the stocker didn't work is a mystery to me.
Probably
fuel delivery related but
the Simple Digital system worked great. They also have a rotary
specific
system. They don't offer
a 3 rotor version so far. Tracy at rws can probably set up a system
for
the secondary injectors as
well. Bill Jepson

Bill,
I have Tracy's fi/ign sytems set up for turbocharging. However, no one
to my knowledge (incl tracy) has made an integrated turbocharger
electronic control system suitable for aircraft uses (car ones are
avail, but the control logic might not work for our uses, I just don't
know). This system would be electronically integrated with the fi/ign
computer, and have provisions for either turbo-normalizing to a set
point or selective boost over your pressure altitude.....and it would
stipulate a blow off valve as part of the installation for safety's
sake!
