I have done a LOT of reserach on this for customers and for my own CJs.
Here is my take:
JPI does make a 9 cyl unit, but it's graphical and user interface are
at least 2 generations behind other units available. It is also very
expensive.
Electronics International makes a nice unit. They will adapt to
whatever you want (including 9 cyl., pneumatic pressure, etc.).

We've worked with Blue Mountain to fully develop their engine pod to
adapt to our engines, including figuring out all the sensors required
for our engines, developing a CHT probe and mounting location (under
air shower port), etc. If you are looking to combine an engine monitor
with substantial EFIS capability (they have a really slick auto pilot
now, too), BMA is now our first choice in the "best value" department.
Yes, BMA has had performance and reliability issues with earlier units,
but their G4 has corrected all of those issues and is very robust and
reliable from our experience. www.bluemountainavionics.com
The cutting edge unit is from Vertical Power. It would take me too
long to describe, but it is truly the next step in aircraft monitoring.
Check it out at www.verticalpower.com.
There are a dozen other choices out there, but we've determined the
above to provide the best combination of quality, value, capability,
and user friendliness. There are other units out there that you may
like better...
Cheers,
Barry
