We have the p-port RX8 engine running at Mazdatrix with the welded in SS
   intake runner tube. No dyno runs yet. Hopefully next week.
   Thankfully no water leaks around the p-port tubes. The tubes are also
   bonded in with JB Weld.

   I never thought this would work. Namely welding the stainless tubes
   directly to the RX8 rotor housing steel liner but it is working far far
   better than  I expected. It is also far easier to do than I expected.
   A good welder can do it in 15 minutes.

   Depending on how much  we are down on power due to the side exhaust
   ports
   we might try building building an RX8 motor with p-port exhaust
   using the  same welding techniques.
