I’m considering building an RV9-A.  One of the factors I’m weighing is the availability of an injected engine.  Has anyone have any information on an IO-320 installation?  Van’s web site only calls for the O-320.  

   

Thanks and regards,

I am building a 9A with an IO-320. The Superior cold induction sump 

issue is supposed to be resolved "real soon now". In the meantime, my 

engine is on order. I have been offered the chance to change the 

configuration but I can still afford to wait. Talking to Van's 

engineers, I will end up using the same cowl as the -7A angle valve 

IO-360 without the "snout" under the chin. The forward facing servo will 

be fed air from the left "nostril" instead. It's a little hard to see 

because of the prop blur, but the red RV on Van's main page has a smooth 

chin. If you follow the link to the RV-8/8A, the 3-view drawings show an 

8 with a snout and an 8A with a smooth chin.



The vertical servo in place of a traditional carburetor would be a much 

easier installation. It would look just like an O-320 and use the same 

cowl, intake, etc. The biggest difference would be the fuel boost pump.



Hope this helps,

I recently had an interesting chat with Larry

Vetterman who builds the exhaust systems for Van's. 

He has an RV-7A with an IO-0-360 with the smooth cowl

without the fish mouth lower induction opening.

It his opinion that if using an injected engine the

best choice is an updraft induction sump and use the

cowling with the forward facing fish mouth.  He said

his test indicates that gives 1 1/2 more inches of

manifold pressure.

You might want to give him a call.
