Re: [FlyRotary] Ellison vs EFI
I talked to then many years ago as I
was thinking about one but the only one they offered had a 1.5 inch
bore and that just ain't going to flow enough air for the rotary so
you would need two of them at double the cost.

Greetings,
As I ponder what I
might do differently "next time", I have to wonder if I
might not consider an Ellison throttle body rather than EFI. I
had one of these on my RV-8, and it worked beautifully. It's
simple, reliable, had great throttle response, and good mixture
control. It also only requires 5-6 psi of fuel pressure, and no
return line (usually). The downside is the cost, which is about
$1650 for the EFS-4-5.
I don't personally
care for traditional carbs, and the Ellison is certainly not a
traditional carb. As well as it atomizes fuel, and as
controllable as the mixture is, I can't see why it wouldn't produce as
much power as the EFI system.
Has anyone tried one
of these on a rotary? Any thoughts on the
subject?
Cheers,
Rusty (getting nervous
about high pressure fluids that burn)
