Yep,  I will be at Oshkosh.  By that time,  I expect to have two p
ported  housings  to show.  Thanks for the at-a-boy.  As Paul well
knows my enthusiasm far exceeds my ability.  Two things I am dead
sure
of.  1} we are very shortly going to have one hell of a nice engine
mount that can be easily adapted to ANY installation.  2)  The p
port
engine will be the engine of choice because it is simple, light,
inexpensive and makes a bunch of  HORSEPOWER!!!---Jerry

Jerry,
When you get this all worked out, are you going to sell PPort
housings?
I'd like to build up a 3rd Gen REW engine with high-compression
non-turbo rotors and pport rotor housings.

Perry,  the plan is to have a local machine shop offer boring of your
housings at a very reasonable cost. We have already bored sample junk
housings and it is no problem to do. Probably around $50.00 pr housing.
 If you have access to a mill and want to do it yourself you will not
have a difficult time.

I will sell the throttle bodies  which are intended to run great in the
6000 to 8000 rpm range. They are supposed to  idle and have good
throttle response.   I will sell these and  you can either Devcon them
in yourself or have me do it.  But first I have to prove  they will
work properly.  The  prototype throttle bodies will probably be
finished by June 10.

The missing piece is the intake manifold.  I am hoping that Ed will
produce a first class aluminum manifold for us.  I plan to see him in a
couple of weeks with throttle bodies in  hand.  There is also the CF
manifold possibility.  I will cooperate with anyone who is working on
this.   Are you interested?      Jerry

I can certainly make CF parts.
Paul, where are the main engine mount hard points on the RX-8 engine
again? 2nd gen. were on the middle housing and 3rd gen. were on the rear
housing. I would prefer rear housing. Instead of a 13BREW based engine,
I'm thinking Renesis with PPort. This way I get the new cool water pump
and the side exhaust ports would be quieter. Renesis already has high
compression rotors - right? Then it 's just a matter of closing off the
side intake ports.

Perry

They are about inline with the rear spark plugs. Front on a tractor.
Nice parts but you don't get those parts when you buy an RX8 engine
unfortunately. Mazda probably wants a fortune if you bought these
castings new. Probably won't work with a turbo also unfortunately.
