Can you confirm what your speed and climb performance increases are. 🙏🏻

Very nicely Done! Wish you could install this on my Airplane 🙏

Very nicely Done! Great video 🫡😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What is the setup on the suspension? Is it wider and more forward than stock?

Great video thanks but i would stuff rags or plastic plugs in those head intake holes so you don't drop something down one!

Did that airplane use to have a Jabiru motor?

Yes, the Kitfox (I had a model 1) boot cowl give great access to the behind the panel area, but it also lets in water running off the windshield, unless your cowl seals real tight. I like the RANS I have now boot cowl better, as the windshield overlaps it. BUT...., having just spent much time upside down with my head by the rudder pedals doing wiring on my own EDGE EFI install, gives me a re-newed appreciation for the Kitfox cowl!

You did not show any of the press out / press in process. We watched you work. You didn’t really show us anything.

Seems like there should be a log of each parts measurement while going back together. Like bottom ring thickness x thousands, next ring x thousands etc... that way impending failure can be tracked and prevented once enoungh data has been collected.

Where does the fuel return line go? Back into the header tank? Do the fuel caps on the wings have vents? Trying to wrap my head around the whole EFI thing.

Thank you for the video! I'm preparing to remove the gearbox from my 912ULS, then take it to a certified Rotax Repair Center for inspection or rebuild. After that, I will install it using the method you showed in the informative video! Rans S6ES Coyote ll.

Excellent video!! Be aware! Tetra ethyl lead which is present in 100 LL goes straight through your skin and is Neuro toxic. You should protect exposed skin with gloves. I am a pilot, a doctor, and have a degree in chemistry. I also got exposed to lead as student pilot due to me own ignorance. Learn from my mistake.

Excellently well-done instructional video........Unfortunately, camera placement and lighting prevents ANY visual clarity when showing the audience the details!!!

Does the Rotax charging system provide enough amps to energize the EFI system and pumps as well as Avionics and lights? Or did you add additional charging capacity? And how much horsepower does the big bore kit.add with the efi?

Looks great Michael. Can’t wait to bring in 1078P in for its efi kit.

Since this installation features an oxygen sensor, does the owner plan to completely avoid leaded fuel? … or is the sensor used only during an initial calibration/tuning phase, then taken out of the ECU read-loop?

Stop teasing me.😂😂😂

What did the cost on this setup look like

A zipper low compression big bore gets 104 HP

I just found your channel an hour ago and am so glad. I seriously wish you success in your business and that your UA-cam channel helps bring new customers. I don’t have interest in STOL; my plane is a Skystar Pulsar III with 3300 Gen-4 Jabiru. But I’ve owned 912ULS in a previous plane and these Edge Performance upgrades are compelling.

Your mods here might be simple but actually they are both brilliant. The second one adds the secondary benefit of improving throttle control resolution, so that a given amount of control input results in finer control of the fuel system. I’m certain You know that but your audience will be happy to as well.

Edge Performance products are about as exciting as anything in the light EAB world.

You would think Rotax would offer different throttle connections for various installs. Thanks for the fix options!

It’s a pleasure to watch someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks for the video.

I used to run VW motors for performance. You can increase HP by making a bigger air cleaner. Like the size on a car. Try looking at a air cleaner for diesel trucks. I used to buy VW's with small air cleaners and flip for money. They were starving their motors for air.

Can you install this kit on a certified 912 f3?

👍 Thank You! Sertificate 22-097

Thanks, this is helpful. Please keep posting EFI kit installation videos like this.

Aerotrek as good as a kitfox yet about 50k cheaper. Aerotrek is a SLSA are you allowed to modify the engine is Special light sport different then like a Certified aircraft such as a Cessna 150.

I think Edge should spend more time working on Yamaha engines and to get the cost down. The Rotax line you started with an already expensive engine add another $15,000 to it and ended up with just a few more HP than the 915 and a few pounds lighter. You did not do the industry any favors for all along, one of their biggest enemy is cost. Anything can be done if money is of no concern, the old say, what is engineering, to do something for $3 that any fool can do for $10.

What can we boost our 914UL to chaps? We need 130bhp but only to climb up to 200ft towing a heavy 2 seat 800kg glider. Above the 500ft safe height 115bhp would be fine. I'm thinking: Tweak the existing turbo boost above 40mBar, with a boost controller. Fit an intercooler (even if it has to be fitted externally to the cowling) Most importantly we need a larger capacity oil cooler as the oil temp gets to top of the green 110C by the time we've climbed to 3000ft.

Late to a past conversation, but regarding welding crankshft journals; how much welding is done, stress relieving, crank alignment, etc.? I come from a performance motorcycle background and I recall reading how welded cranks were breaking due to stresses imparted by the welding process. Once company went to a special anerobic adhesive to lock the crank alignment and no more crack issues. With all the Edge engines flying, it seems the welded crank is not an issue. Just curious as to how tbey got there.

How do avation engine manufacturers keep the cylinders from wearing uneven? Using a horizontal engine wont the pistons wear the bottoms of the cylinders quicker, eventually causing blow by.

Looks great Mike, bet that Christine is going to love the FI & integrated wastegate control. Can't wait to get my install going.

I've got a new gearset ready to go in my 912UL (no clutch) but not a new doghub. Should they be replaced as a set? 🤔

Christines ride?

Nice work. Looks fun. How does it fly?

That looks like way too much fun 😁

Relocate elbow from cyl 1-2-4

Thanks Mike . After our conversation about Edge products Ill be watching all of your videos. Best way to get HP with out gaining weight.

Could the EP912STi be an alternative replacement for a 915is on a Sling TSi?

Michael, Appreciate you sharing this information and explanation. Refreshing, unlike some other shops who like to build a mystery.

Any changes to the empty weight with this modification?

What's with the original balance tube is that aerotrek mod?

Unfortunately, the people that are really interested in what you’re doing can’t see through your eyes or read your mind. Watch your own video keeping in mind you’ve never done this before, and you’ll be surprised. Put a simple cam on your visor or above your bench that you could angle at your press now and then. Watching someone perform magic or music is one thing, instruction is yet another. Your camera view should be nothing less than what “you need to see” to accomplish a given task. Anything less are not worth a thumbs up, let alone a subscription. “LET ME SEE WHAT YOU SEE, AND THEN TALK ABOUT”... and I’ll be back!

Results of flight test?

How much does this kit cost and is it certified?

Did it make much of a difference? I have a 912uls and considering the edge big bore kit. In told it makes no difference in the air? I can't see how that would be but I don't know anyone thats gone it so I don't know. Any feed back be much appreciated

Question for ya. I hear 600 hours if the motor is run on “a lot” of avgas, 800 if on “some”, and 1000 otherwise. I’m the third owner of a plane with 570 hours, and the other owners “mostly used” auto premium. What’s your recommendation? Thanks!

What ended up being the total hp?? And fuel burn?? Thanks.
