Group,
I have read with some trepidation the comments about using an Eliason
Throttle body carburator replacer. I won't elevate it to injection because it
isn't. This type of fuel system can and does suffer all the malidies of
carburators. Icing, difficult transition tuning, and in our case LOW POWER
OUTPUT. Unless you can run 2 or 3 of these things, which is moderately
insane, you will drastically reduce your power. The Throttle body works fairly
well on a Lyc because it is DESIGNED TO BE CARB LIMITED. Slow turning large
displacement and high vacuum signal. How does our favorite little engine put out
the same power as one that is twice it's displacement? It processes a lot of Air
and Fuel. Just as much as the Lycoming! We must do that in shorter cycles
(higher RPM) and need better airflow, hence large volume carbs, more of
them, or multiport fuel injection with a BIG F---ing Butterfly. Please everybody
learn your system, and tune carefully. Trying to force your rotary to breathe
thru the same system as a Lycoming is like trying to run your Throughbred horse
with hobbles on. It will move but not very well.
