Hi Paul

I am new to the forum and would like to understand the differences between
standard intakes vs peripherally ported.

Can you send pix or references.

Thanks

Sure this first graphic is of a RX8 side exhaust port engine
compared to a 2nd gen peripheral exhaust side intake port engine.
Note both intake and exhaust ports are side ports on
the RX8 engine and both intake and exhaust are in the side housings.

On a current 2nd gen p-port engine both intake and exhaust ports are
peripheral as in the second picture. All p-ports are now in the rotor housing
and no ports  are in the side housings.
