Paul,

I'm wondering if P-porting the RX-8 would give the same overlap and
rough running at idle? I would think with the side exhaust this should
be less of a problem.

I would assume the P-port RX8 would give comparable power to your
engine, about 240 hp, no?

Regards,

Gordon.

PS: Thanks for the dry sump info.

It might get 240 HP with those side exhaust ports.
I am not sure until someone dynos it.

Thanks, Paul.

What about the overlap and intake charge backing up? Would you guess the
P-port RX8 might reduce that problem to some extent?


Regards,

Gordon.

I think it would be about the same as the old side intake port
and p port exhaust. It would be an interesting exercise
that is for sure. You might be able to do away with one
or two of these sealing rings on the side of the RX8 rotor for
less friction.
