Mr. Lamar,
   I would like to know if your CD of past posts have information on these
subjects? First let me explain that I have a double interest in information
from your news letter. I have an interest in ultralites and experimentals,
and an interest in drag racing, so the information will be quite helpful.
    1. Is the 3rd spark plug addition covered?

Its been mentioned but you can obtain more info from Mazda SAE 92039 on the Lemans
engine. try www.thecarricos.com/ACRE/ for downloading some of these SAE papers
in pdf format.

    2. Is there more detail on peripheral intake porting?

Several Mazda SAE papers and Kenichi Yamamotos books discuss P-ports.
Extensive stuff on the CD covers p-ports. 

    3. Is there any discussion on fuel injecting and/or nitrosoxide plumbing
through the rotor housing?

That too has been tried but no hard data is available to my knowledge on
fuel injection through the housing. Ken welter on here has extensive experience
with nitrous oxide and rotary engines. I have flown in his rotary powered Coot and I can 
verify that it works well to get his heavy 2900 pound amphibian on the step 
and out of the water.

    4. Is there a simple why to do fuel injection setup with out costing a
bunch of money? This has to do with the fuel injection components minus the
manifold.

Most people use the stock electronic injectors. Perry Mick has used the 
stock computer to control the stock injector and the stock ignition.

    5. This has to do with the aluminum housings you are working on.
Couldn't you cast the plate thicker than needed, then cast that in the
aluminum and just mill the thickness down instead of trying to cast a thin
plate in the housing for the wear surface. Just a though, I am not a degreed
engineer and my business is making plastic injection molds , molded parts
and general job shop.

Yes that might work. I will suggest it to the person doing the development.
He is well aware however of the pit falls casting  aluminum  with steel 
inserts.

    Well I figure I bugged you enough on this post.
 Thanks,
Richard Konnen
