Does anyone have the HP/power graphs for the series 3,4,5
Mazda rotary
engines with and without turbos. (Not Twin Turbo)
RX8 engines just very got hard to get in Aus. (All;Ruperts
engines are
gone) The ones he had left were all bought by the same person
for car
racing.
The use the for the engines is for Gyroplane use.

Here are a few David. Nobody uses the stock intake manifolds for
aircraft.
If it were me I would P-port it and be done with it. It is
cheap and
easy to do.
You save money when it comes time to make the intake manifold AND
you reduce the fuel
burn at aircraft power levels. The rotary engine loves p-ports.

David,
Keep in mind that those are the curves for the stock turbo (too small),
stock engine (no porting), stock wastegate controller (about 5psi max),
and stock computer(no programmability). They really say noting about
what the engine is capable of doing (if you are so inclined).

What happened to those new pictures with the cowl off? :)
Do I have to go down to your airport with a screw driver? :)
Paul Lamar
I have only had the lower cowl off once since then, and I forgot the
camera (top half is easy, lower is a pain because of the intersection
fairings). The lower section is the only part that is significantly
different. Will try to remember the camera next time.

Thanks actually the stock engine without turbo will provide the required
power
and then some, we only need a peak of 165 HP this is based on the Subaru
EJ25
engine (actually an EJ22 will do) and most of the time the engine only
needs to
provide about 80 Hp- 100 Hp the advantage to RX series is that they
weight about
the same as the EJ22 and slightly less than the EJ25 engines will be
only at
about 50% load rather than 80% load to achieve the same Hp for what
should be
an easy amount of work for them. it is unlikely that the engine will
ever go
over 6K, now I just have to make sure the the plugs used will run the
right temp
range, I suspect we'll need one heat range colder than Std.
Regards David
Start with two. If it runs OK stick with two.
