Got all my parts from Racing Beat. Seems simple enough, but has

put out a build manual for

P-Ports yet? Don't want to take any chances, you know? Thanks!

No different than a side port except you need to fill the side
ports
with
high temp epoxy potting compound. Are you using RB p-port rotor
housings?

Tim,
As was put to me by the experts some time ago, you can't really go
wrong
ALSO Paul and Jerry are manufacturing PP for distribution - takes
all
the
fun out of it, I know!

George and all,   Not until my p port's performance is established,
will I even consider making one for someone else.  Today I ordered
the
injectors and the  K & N filter and made some little weld on
bushings
to transition from the 2" o.d. throttle bodies to the 1.9" o.d.
runners.  I hope to actually start putting the intake manifold
together
this week end.  Seems like I have been looking forward to it
forever.
It will have both filtered alternate air and ram air and bell mouth
injection.      Jerry

I would have gone with engine parts made by members of this group if
I'd had a choice since I
truly believe ya'll are on the rotary cutting edge, but for me and my
ship time is of the essence,
and so I had to go with what is available now. I will still, however,
take any advice/accessory
parts suggestions as to the final build-up of this 300HP@9000RPM 13B
PPort pusher of mine. Thanks!

Tim,   I missed the type of airplane and which PSRU you are  using.
Hell of a project though.   Regards, jerry

It's a one-of-a-kind, scratch-built, uuummmmm, tailless biplane......a fast one. I had to design
out a 2.5", 3:1 high-speed cog belt PSRU due to the power/RPM levels. I would have rather
experimented with Tracy's PSRU, but time is a factor, so I went with a serious belted config with
the emphasis on strong/fast/oiled bearings, matching the RPM and horsepower ratings as we went
along.....should have the driveshafts back from the machinist's next week. Still need an engine
mount, Jerry....LOL!
