Can anyone out there who has installed an SDS EM5 or EM6 system (ignition and fuel injection) please share how they split up/grouped the various electrical users? I'm especially interested in how you've integrated it with a VP-X Pro system.
I have been planning on a CPI-2 ignition with traditional fuel injection (already have the FI system with my engine), but have recently been thinking about going with the full EM6 EFI/EI system. I'd like to know how others have laid out their electrical systems. The EM6 installation manual calls out a need for a total of 18 circuit breakers and 7 switches for a 6-cylinder dual ECU system, which is obviously not easily do-able with a VPX without fused sub-buses. I would, in any case, likely power the EFI/FI system (at least half of it) independently from the VP-X anyway.
Also interested in how you have designed your electrical system for redundancy with the EM5/EM6 system. I'm working from the basis of a friend's RV-10, which has an electrical system based on the Aeroelectric Z-14 diagram, with dual Lightspeed ignitions, with the ignitions powered through breakers directly from each battery via fused "battery buses".
