Tracy,  would it be possible to eliminate two of the injectors using the EC-2?  I appreciate the limp home value of having a second set of injectors but  most aviation engines do operate with just one injector per cylinder I think.   Two injectors really complicate the p port fuel rail if the injectors are firing into the bells as I am doing.    I know you supply the EC 2 for the Suburu.  Does it also have two injectors per cylinder?   Anyway, here is a drawing of the fuel rail using two injectors.   With only one injector,  it would be a straight tube.     Thanks  Jerry

Replying to my own e-mail-  after I posted the  drawing, I continued to mess with the design and came up with a solution which is simply to angle the injector bosses  and leave the fuel rail straight.  This will allow me to use both injectors.  The revised drawing is attached.  Onward,   Jerry
