GAMIjectors

Has anybody here put GAMIjectors on their LYC. TIO-540? If so, how did you
like them?

Try 'em - if you don't like them, GAMI will refund your money in full.

Deakin says that there is something in the Lycoming that just can't be
smoothed out (the balance?). The Lycoming fuel distribution setup is pretty
good to begin with, but given the average QC, you might be pleased.

It's too uneven in mine to run LOP.

GAMI says the lean test data needed for TCMs is not needed for LYCs. The
injectors need not be matched to particular cylinders; they just send you a
set that are already flow-matched and you put 'em in.

So, give them a try and see. If you don't like them, send them back.

I had a hangar neighbor who put them in his 2002 T182 (after hearing me blab
about them in my ex-Bo) and he was ecstatic about them. He did have some
"subconscious" hesitation about running LOP, but after a few tries he was
hooked.

Just some anecdote, his Lyc was okay to begin with, but he said that with
GAMI's it was "smooth as silk".

Take it with a grain of salt, but like I said, if they don't work, return
them.

Here's hoping!

Yep, so did I about running LOP. I don't have GAMI's yet, may not need
them. I run LOP up to 75% and my plane is now in for it's annual. I
put six brand new Milleniums on last Septemner at the annual because I
got them for free. This years compression check...every cylinder 80/80.
Which I expected because I have a three year warranty on the cylinders.

How is that possible?

I have them on my Lyc IO-360. I am currently on my fourth iteration.
Each time I did a lean test, it was not adequate, so I emailed the
results to GAMI who then sent one to three new injectors to try. My last
test resulted in three cylinders peaking close together with #2 off, so
that was just replaced. I haven't yet checked the lean test with my new
#2 but I really hope it does the trick. This has been a bit frustrating
and has taken almost a year.

Having said that I am happy with the service from GAMI, and I still
believe they are a good idea.

Ouch. I have 50% more cylinders, so it ought to take 18 mos. to get mine
right.

Thanks.

You're still young.

Sorta.

IIUC, you're going to have a harder go of it (getting it tuned just right)
with a small block engine as compared to a big block, like a 540/550.
