Paul,

What are those little ports in the rotor housing on the RX8 engine? They
look like small P-ports, no?

It appears they go all the way through to the inside -- you can see that
some material is hogged out from the housing.

I got these pictures from an article I found about the Renesis engine:

They don't go all the way through.

I believe that is high pressure air injection into the exhaust manifold.
Perhaps for cooling purposes or perhaps to light off the cat sooner
when the engine is cold.

Paul,

Look on the upper left side of the second picture.   It does look like a
1.5" hole in the inside wall.  Perhaps someone was playing with the housing?
