Jabiru Success?

[BillCuster]

Anyone on the forum have success with the Jabiru 3300, keeping it cool in the Kitfox?

My 2200 stays ice cold all thee time. Never once had it come close to over heating.

Great hear! I found much greater success when I selected the correct probe type in my G3X system! I had selecte K type when they were actually J type. Made about an 85 degree difference in the readings. Still, my #6 is about 50 degrees hotter than all the rest. I’m working on it by replacing the gen 1 plenums with the later Gen 2 and later plenums.

Update on the Plenum.
Installing the later style Plenum gave me VERY even cooling on all the even numbered cylinders. Next step - The newer plenum on the right.

The 2nd Gen 2-4 plenum really put the icing on the cake.
Overall, the lesson I learned was 1:be careful when you configure new avionics / Engine monitors. 2: don't believe everything you read on the Internet. An incorrect setting in my new G3X system led me down a road of thinking suddenly the engine temps had risen when I had changed NOTHING on the engine. Fortunately, a little systematic troubleshooting resolved the issue.

Great work Bill I also believe the 3300 would be a great engine in the kitfox
