Paul looking at the p-port pics you have with the slide throttle looks really good. Things are really moving forward for our rotary power plants. I was wondering what would be easier/better to do. p-port or mistral intake manifold? I have a new set of turbo rotors housings but I think I'm going non turbo for my long Ez would it be better to send them out and have them p-ported or just bolt up a mistral intake what are the cost, and power differences? how much more work will I expect to p-port and get the engine to make some noise over the mistral intake?

Thanks Tony

The Mistral complete intake manifold set up is $1800 but it saves
a lot of work and time. The P-Port if tuned right should be about 50 HP more
but there is a lot of work for you to still do. True Jim Poole can bore
the rotor housings and Tom Webber can supply most of the slide throttle
but you need to fab and glue in the tubes with slide throttle mounting
flanges. You will also have to supply trumpet mouths, fuel injector bosses
and a plenum along with a fuel rail. Lots of little misc stuff.

BTW I have some trumpets left over for ten dollars each
if you put $20 cash in a self addressed padded envelope
and send it to me :) Tube bends not included.
