Subject: RX7 Turbo and N/a Hp Graphs

         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.

        Regards David

        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? :)

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.
