Fuel and timing curves are tuned on a dyno up to their maximum potential. Ignition and fuel maps are based on load, throttle
position and manifold pressure. A 3D representation is shown below

Due to the liability, aircraft engine manufactures use CDI ignition with flat ignition curves. Aircraft engines run a set
Degree ignition point of 26 degrees. This flat 26 degree ignition curve means slower response the throttle movement, lower fuel
economy at part throttle, lower HP at part throttle, and an overall derating of aircraft engines
Is their any other reason why my engine is derated besides ignition ?
Yes, engines with carburated are just guessing and getting your engine to run in a range. Generally, carburetors are tuned very rich
in order for them to not "lean out" during flight. Every JP engine is tuned to 14.0 air fuel at partial throttle and 12.5 for full throttle
The Engine control system constantly updates how much fuel to inject into the engine to keep
your rotax running at its peak performance.
Best fuel economy possible period!
Yes all JP fuel injected motors are guaranteed to have the highest fuel economy possible safely. JP fuel injected rotax's use
wideband oxygen sensor for feedback under partial throttle. The engine control unit (ECU) constantly adjusts how much fuel to put in
the engine in order to maintain a 14.0 air fuel ratio. This is the same way auto manufacturers like Honda get much more per a
gallon
of fuel. This is one reason why we can boast at JP associates that we can get up to 50% more fuel economy from you same engine.
Why, because it is 100% true and can be shown on a dyno. Typically you are not going to gain 50% in fuel economy unless your set
up is turned extremely rich, but 20-30% is typical
Longer time between overhauls
Yes, I can sit here right now and tell you that you will get longer time between overhauls just by using fuel injection. Why, Well its
simple. Engine using carburetors instead of fuel injection run much richer than a fuel injection system using an oxygen sensor.
Running right doesn't hurt the engine in the short term, but in the long term excessive carbon from unburned fuel causes damage to
piston rights and also damage to valve seats. Running rich will also gunk your engine up and cause deposits which rob power.
Smoother and Faster Throttle Response
Yes, our engines do that too. It goes back to being able to advance and retard timing. JP fuel injection systems can rev up like a race
car. Stock engine have fast throttle response when they are operating 75% to 100% power, but below this they tend to be
a little laggy.
Greater reliability with a truly redundant system (Saftey)
Stock engines are not redundant. Only JP Associates offer a fully redundant system. Stock engines are not
redundant. In fact, no other manufacture is fully redundant. They are only redundant in their ignition set up, but what happens if a
problem arises with the carburetors? Yes, you do have two of them, but they are driving separate cylinders. The answer is your
engine still fails and you fall out of the sky. When you buy a redundant system from JP Associates, you buy 2 of every fuel and
ignition component. If you have a problem with either fuel delivery or ignition, simply switch over to the secondary computer. Buyer
also can plumb their secondary system into a small full cell and gel cell for added security to guarantee you get on the ground
safely. No matter if your fuel and battery fails on your primary computer and your run out of gas, You can be assured you can get
on the ground safely.
