Its actually in production and can be ordered from Jabiru South Africa as a 3300 or 2200 fuel injected engine. They have kits available as far as I understand as well.

At the moment it it is not common rail injection. They use a Throttle body injection  system with 2 electronic fuel injectors, lambda sensors for mixture, crank triggers, 2xCEU to control FI and ignition ( fixed timing at moment). They also still use the current distributor cap system for spark plugs so no wasted spark system yet.

They are selling quite a few of these engines now, but still some snags. Will wait awhile. Pricing is also  USD2400 for the conversion ( if you already have an engine).

I am currently installing a Rotec TBI system into our CH601Xl and CH750 with jab engines. I like having control over mixture, costs are massively cheaper, and no electricals involved. Going to start post on the TBI installation
