It's already been done, Gloster strut members will remember that Eddie
Clapham ( ex Rolls Royce development engineer and serial builder of
kitplanes) had a 912 in a RANS Coyote ( or something similar) which he had
installed a fuel injection system. He ran it for some time. Other than that
I don't remember any more details at present. Its possible that Jeremy and I
will see him at the Gloster Strut meeting tomorrow evening.

Jeff,
It was I and it's very much a wish of mine - I'm not a fan on steam-age
technology in modern aircraft!
I'm rather behind you with my build, though, so it's unlikely I'll have a
solution in time for you - unless you're happy to retrofit in a few years.
At this stage, I'm just trying to find out who has done what to date - the
factory intercooler is one item that won't need to be developed, for
example.
