[FlyRotary] Re: Ellison vs EFI
Hp don't mean anything as its all
in CFM and at that time tne biggest they offered was 350 CFM which
will work fine on the big lunged ancient airplane motors but we need
free high flowing carburetors, about 650 to 700 CFM is about
right.
I'm
not following you here. Why is 180 HP more CFM for us than
for an O-360? I just sent them a question to see what the bore
diameter is on the top 3 sizes they list.
I did
notice that there was a FAQ on the Ellison page that says they don't
recommend auto fuel, since it could damage components in the TBI.
I'm not sure how much this is real, vs CYA. Ellison doesn't seem
all that much in favor of auto engine conversions in the first
place.

danger, danger)
Look at the crude intake manifold on
a Lycosoris, it don't have any CFM ether as they just rely on the big
slow moving piston to suck like hell to get the air in, very crude
!!!
I am currently running a 48 Weber, I
did have a 51 Weber and there was a definite loss in power dropping to
the 48.
There are ways to control the mixture
on a Weber if interested.
I am considering playing with fuel
injection but I plan on using a Weber as the throttle body so the if
anything goes wrong with the injection I can just flip a switch and
change over to the carb.
