Hey Tony!
Theres lots of info and articles on aircraft conversions using the EJ22
at the bottom of this page:
http://www.sdsefi.com/aircraft.html
SDS EM-4: Aircraft
(Scroll down to the very bottom of the page to see the articles). The
article on cooling the EJ22T
is very helpful. Also the Racetech RV6A with the EJ22T article has tons
of info, comparing the EJ powered plane performance to an almost identical
Lycoming IO-320 powered one. Happy Soobing!
