Hi, Paul....I made it to Sun-N-Fun this year, and was delighted to see you
in action firing up the turbo rotary.  While touring Choppertown, I came
upon a 13B with an interesting manifold/throttlebody combination. I could
see that the manifold was made by Atkins....I am not, however familiar with
the rest of the components. The throttle body seemed neat and compact, with
the injectors closely mounted in what appeared to me as a neat lightweight
package. Here is a photo of the system. I would appreciate your comments as
to the pros/cons of such a system, and any other info you might have
concerning the source of the other components.  Thanks in advance for your
reply. Paul Conner, Mobile, AL


It is a bit short for 6000 RPM max. Might work well at 8500 RPM.
the rest of the parts are TWM. The injectors, being only two, must
be REAL high flow. Most Mazda's use four injectors and they are staged.
Two are used at low power and all four at high power.
