We now have Mazdatrix dyno runs on the 2 inch steel tube welded RX8 p-port
engine.
Far more torque and HP than the RX8 high power engine in the
6000 to 7500 RPM range. This is the range we use with the 2.85:1 PSRU.
This had a 52 mm Weber carb which unfortunately is smaller
than the 58 mm Weber carb we used on the 2nd gen p-port engine
dyno runs. The 52 mm carb is showing signs of being too small.
The 2nd gen P-port engine is now running in Mark Suspinski
Mustang II. Hopefully that will fly soon.
Dave Lemon commented that the engine had extraordinary stand off fuel/air mist
above the carb with the stock RX8 exhaust manifold. This is to be expected
as organ tuned p-ports don't like exhaust back pressure. We use ram air plenum's
so this is not a problem for us. A supercharger exhaust manifold and stright through
muffler reduced the stand off and increased the power. Dyno run B.
More pictures on Monday and perhaps a video of the engine running on the dyno.

Congrats Paul, Can't wait to see the video! How well will this work with
the 6 port?
Rick in Alaska
That is the six port RX8 engine.
The four port version is no longer made anyway.
