Paul, you may want to rethink using twice the normal amt of oil in your RX-7.
The reason why people use additional amounts is for a racing application where
you maintain high temps and "burn" away any deposits. For a low load normal
street application, your going to get excess deposits and may carbon up the apex
seals. Maybe you could put on that small pump, so you could use 2 cycle oil.

Two cycle oil burns completely without deposits. That is why we use it.
Paul Yaw mixed some with gasoline and set it on fire. He was amazed.
No deposits what so ever.
I am doing this in the street engine precisely to see what happens.

I have seen street engines with obvious maldistribution from the oil 
injectors. Mixing it with the gas is superior to injecting it I
suspect. Dennis Hayes also mentioned this to me when I was up
at Hayes Rotary Engineering.
