* It is essential for the entire system that the fuel pressure is correctly set. You will do that by adjusting the fuel pressure regulator according to what the avionics show. Make sure, you select the correct fuel pressure sensor make and model in the avionics setup menu. Best to temporary hook up a fuel pressure gauge to have a second mean to confirm, it is set correctly. | |||
* The proper and careful installation of the silver fuel injector adapter into the cylinder head is important. Follow the most recent SDS instructions. Use only the referenced high temperature blue Loctite 246. Hand tight, then 1 1/2 turns. There are older instructions out there that reference 60 inch pounds torque which is no longer a desired tightening method and may not be enough to hold the adapters in. | * The proper and careful installation of the silver fuel injector adapter into the cylinder head is important.

* It is important to properly ground the ECUs as the injector return current will flow through it. At high rpm, a voltage drop across the ground wiring can cause improper injector operation which may lead to individual hot cylinders. | * It is important to properly ground the ECUs as the injector return current will flow through it.

*If you need to replace a wire in the bundle, these are the connector family specs:<br>[[File:Screen Shot 2023-04-03 at 9.10.15 AM.png|500x500px]]<br>In particular, the female crimp pins are Digikey order no WM2501CT-ND. The proper crimp tool for this family of contacts is Molex 640160200. | * SDS sends two different kind of spark plug 90 degree boots. One kind is for the coils, the other for the spark plug side. Check the SDS pictures. | ||
* The SDS ECUs will not go full rich on takeoff. You need to use the manual mixture adjust to cool the engine for takeoff. | |||

* Attaching wires properly to the SDS supplied fuel pumps is cumbersome once they are mounted in the tunnel. The nuts are tiny and you need to torque the nut against the underlying nut to avoid twisting the hole post, and you need to be careful not to strip the post. Consider putting wires on them before you mount them. SDS suggests using 15A breakers for the pumps (and they confirm that this is sufficient) however the pumps have a note engraved to use 20A ones. If you go with 20A breakers, you will need AWG 12 wire, else 14 for 15A. | |||
