     Yes of course. The rotor housings are almost identical.

Paul,
 Do you know if the 3 plug housings are homemades of a semi-factory casting? The picture quality was poor on my machine but it looked like there was epoxy filler near the hole. I'm interested for a
direct injection setup without the need to do a bunch of machining. Of course the cost of those housings is probably fairly steep anyway!  I have been talking to the Orbital factory guys and the
consensus is that the injection should work well.  A proof of concept system would use a throttle body, but if that works well we might be able to run throttleplateless (looks like one of those
German words) to improve efficiency with lower pumping losses.

Looks homemade. The epoxy filler was on the p-port (cool) side and the third plug side.
BTW are you getting a 3 rotor or a 2 rotor from Francois?
