Here are some shots of Tracy 20B 3 rotor engine in his RV8.
Close to flying. He is waiting for his Blue Mountain glass
cockpit. The roughly 12 inches long intake tubes are in the
large wooden plenum. The throttle body is an RX8 fly by wire!
IMHO scary :) He is using RX8 coils. He said the hot tip
for the GM V8 coils is the truck versions. I don't have a part
number yet. Those are the ones that have heat sinks.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Hi Tracy,

where did you get the connectors for the RX8 coils? I recently got a set of
coils for the single rotor from Metromotorparts, a real bargain at $27.00 a
piece. Also got the crans angle sensor, the same problem.

The single rotor is going on the test stand for running the compound side
housing.

Thanks.

He is out of town for a few days Richard and he does not always
read his email from here. Call him or send email.

Richard,
Tracy has been known to solder wires to the male pins and pot them in with
high temp resin( a good trick IMHO) . This will make it a permanent, however
you could make a connection with a generic connector ( a short distance
away), with this process.
