Tracy,
Do you still sell the FI fuel pumps? I didn’t see them on your web
site. I will probably need to replace one of mine since I discovered the “black
sludge” in the filter.
If you don’t still sell them, could you suggest a supplier?

I get 3 - 5 emails or calls every day from builders
surprised that things don't seem to be fitting together. There seems
to be some kind of expectation that the whole world is standardized around this
one of a kind airplane they are building. Don't *expect* anything
to fit unless you have verified it or made it fit yourself.
OK, enough kvetching from me.
It doesn't make sense to throw away those $250 injectors (Mazda price)
and buy something to fit those little chunks of aluminum you
bought. Put the injector bungs in a lathe and turn them out to
fit. Or start with a fresh chunk and make from scratch.
I doubt you could replace those rather unique 20B primary injectors no
matter how badly you wanted to. Again, the world is not
standardized around that very rare orphaned car engine you are putting in the
plane.

The injector bosses from SDS arrived today, and the Mazda
injectors don't fit (big surprise). What do I use instead, and what
size? Should I also replace the ones in the block, or go with them for a
while? Will this make any difference in the ECU mapping?

AFIK, Tom Parks is the only other 20B turbo flying (very few
hours). I don't know the specs. or even the make but I think it was a
Turbonetics.
Ain't it fun being a pioneer? :>)
