Speaking of tuning.
I'll tell you I was impressed when Dave Lemon slapped a 58 mm
downdraft Weber on our p-port engine and got over 240 HP right out
of the box at 6800 to 7300 RPM. I never did get the EFI to work
right on the dyno.


Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.


I'm new to your list so please bear with me if the answer to these questions
are well known:

1. Do you have any read material explaining what mods you did to this specific engine.


2. Except for carb heat & cooling requirements, can this engine be used in
a flying configuration with the current intake system as is? (240 HP without EFI
sounds excellent!)

3. Is the P-porting done in the standard way?

Regards,

Hennie

1. Yes we do. We have a bunch of pictures and other stuff. Start by looking at all
the stuff on: http://www.rotaryeng.net/intake.html
And then get back to me with specific questions.

2. Not really. You need to put a couple  of aircraft carbs on there
capable of being leaned and handling about 130 HP each.
A pair of Ellison Throttle Bodies would probably work.

Two EFS-3A's might work.

The runners must point down as most aircraft carbs are up draft.
that will preclude the muffler under the cowl so the muffler will
become external under the fuse.
