This is with the new turbo and everything seems to be working fine.
The engine passed the compression checks with flying colors.
The plugs look great and the water injector lowered the
intake air temperature out of the compressor from 200 F
to 140F.
Sorry about the shaking around. I was filming over Niles shoulder
while asking him questions.
Here is the video in low rez.
This will give you an idea of the capabilities of the Motec EFI system.
The PC lap top is connected to the M800 CPU with a 20 foot USB cable
and a USB to CAN converter. That $100 USB to CAN converter normally would
not be necessary in a later version of the Motec. A single USB cable would
suffice. This one is several years old.
The dash unit is connected to the PC with an Ethernet cable.
This is all a bit of a kludge and it all can be done with just one USB
in theory. Some of the data is in the M800 and some is in the Dash
Unit. It would be better if Motec put a 64 GIG SD card in the CPU
like a $60 Maximite has.
We plan to run it this coming week at a 45 degree angle of attack to check
the fluid suctions. This will be done on the back of a flat bed tow truck.
After that we are going to take it out to the desert and fly it.
Rolls Royce will be green with envy :-)

Thanks for the tip Dave. Unfortunately I cannot cut into the wiring harness
as the aircraft is not mine. Perhaps if I could find a mating male
version of this round
connector with female pins I could dope out the wiring. It almost looks
like
a old PC keyboard connector. But unfortunately it is not.
