Further Investigations #1

I've done a bit more research:
Aprilla uses the Orbital injection process, which involves setting up a compressor and air lines. While I doubt it's entirely beyond my capabilities, it's more than I want to tackle right now.

On the outboard motor front, there's the Etec or Eco-tec system by Evinrude. The main disadvantage is that it cools itself with fuel, so you have to have an extra fuel circuit running through the injector.

There's an injector called the Multec 10, manufactured by Delphi, that looks like a good bet. It runs 10-100 bar, which is roughly 2 bar (28 psi or so) more than I think I need, but it's the only in-head application injector I've found that I'm sure scales down that low and doesn't seem to need cooling.

Now I just need to find someone who'll sell me one! I'm still looking into other ideas, and keeping an eye out for wrecking yards with GDi vehicles, but I think the Delphi option is the way to go, thus far.

Hey--wouldn't that make a great summer reading title? "The Delphi Option".
