Jason Parker has produced a fuel injected Rotax based
engine using military technology from the Predator Drone and adapted it for the experimental aircraft market. The engine
fits a standard 912/914 ring mount footprint and requires no significant modifications to fit in the cowling of a Europa,
Kitfox, Just Plane, or Zenith. What we came up with was the Extreme Europa 914. With direct port fuel injection and timing
control, 7psi is now possible for boost, producing in excess of 145HP. Or crank the boost down to 5 psi and have normal
914 power. Overall weight of the Europa 914 with intercooler, engine mounts and full dual fuel, electrical, and injection
redundancy approaches 200lbs.

Fuel injection is the future of aviation. With the benefits of more efficient fuel distribution, fuel
injection will take over the experimental aircraft world. Fly higher, farther, and more reliably. Jason Parker
has addressed not just the touchy carb balancing deficiencies of the Rotax, but also the anemic electrical power.
This engine comes with a rear belt driven 50-amp alternator and is incredibly smooth and responsive at any power setting.
Finally, a reliable smooth running engine from idle to full boost turbo, with electronic control to prevent overboost and
give full performance without altitude limitations. You just can't beat it!

Benefits:
1. No chance of carb icing
2. No carb synchronization required
since the system runs off one manifold
3. Rev limiter and boost limiter make it impossible to over rev or over boost
on an engine
4. Full redundancy (two of everything needed to run the engine) means peace of mind.
5. In flight
adjustment of mixture on either computer
6. Ignition map runs engine smoother at idle, mid range, and full throttle
7. Bolts up to the Europa main gear mount directly.
Drawbacks:
1.
Redundancy adds around 12lbs
2. Intercooler adds around 10lbs
3. Fuel injection requires 40 PSI fuel system,
so no cheap fittings please. |

Extreme Europa with all added on is $24,000 USD. $20,000 USD for 912 Extreme Europa.
All ready have a Rotax 912, convert it to a 914 or just get the benefits of fuel injection and leave it normally aspirated.
