How about a P-port and side ports? That would certainly breath.

Doug, your radiator should be arriving today in Florida.

Paul, how was that for reply forwading? Do I need to wear my kevlar?

See you later,
Brian

Brian,
I just saw a P-port with side ports which use the standard manifold to
provide all the fuel mixture.
How !? you may well ask !
This chap cut holes between the water jacket seals- of the end housing
( connecting the standard port) and the rotor housing and coming out of the
rotor housing face. He set the placement very late as it acted as an
auxiliary port. He said it worked very well!!
It still had the same idle problems of the P-port, As although it opened and
closed much later ( little if any exhaust mixture contamination) - it still
had the compression stoke ( backpressure) to contend with.
Speaking of that, I was wondering if the RX8 fuel/air JET nozzle had
anything to do with delaying ( through using velocity/pressure) the
compression backpressure, which would be more because the late ( bigger)
auxiliary port.
I think Richard Sohn is using both side and PP with independent controls, on
his single.
