I am thinking about the IO390 for my RV8. 



Did you have any trouble adapting the IO390 to the RV8.  Did the cowling

fit as-is? What did you do for exhaust?  What about ignition?  I am

thinking FADEC would be cool, but don't know the issues here.   What

real performance do you see in cruise with the ACI prop? (and

conditions)



Finally, what about insurance?  Technically, the 390 is more HP than

Vans recommends.  Did your insurance carrier care?  I live in Sierra

Nevadas - so climb is always welcome.  (We expect to have portable O2 in

the plane most of the time).



Thanks

Dan,



I put one in a 7 and I used the vans 200 HP Angle valve firewall forward 

kit.   The exhause fit great.  As far as climb goes, I had mine to 22,000 

feet and it was still going strong.

How does the 390 compare to the 360 regarding RPM restrictions?

Limiting RPM restriction is the same at 2700 RPM full throttle. Check

out Marc Cooks AvWeb article he wrote about the engine. Pretty good

Asked a different way.

 

Is the 390 a counterweighted crankshaft engine?

 

Or, as a non-counterweighted crankshaft engine, are there mid range RPM  

restrictions similar to the non-counterweighted crankshaft 360 engine?

Yes, the IO-390 is counterweighted. Sorry I missed real question.
