I have some very basic questions. What is the output RPM? What is the
weight of the engine and any required PSRU? I read RPM's from 8 to 9
thousand and yet output of 2000. Is this with a PSRU? As you can tell,
I am completely ignorant about rotaries. My first decesion is, can
I, or
do I want to, use a rotary to put in my KR? I am assuming the weights I
am told will include all the necessary accessories including a PSRU if
required. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave Coulson.
Up to 11,000 RPM. But we uses only 7500 and a 2.85:1 PSRU.
240 pounds for p-port 250 HP part cast iron engine.
No cooling or exhaust. With 40 pounds PSRU.
190 pounds for p-port 250 HP with aluminum end and center housings.
With 40 pounds PSRU.
Don't even think about side ports. No suitable intake manifolds
available.

Technically you don't have to have a PSRU, you just have to limit the RPM.
The two rotor 13B at 2500 RPM would probably have plenty of power for a
KR2, if it's not too heavy.
An 0-200 weighs nearly 200lbs.
Although it seems like just a lot of engine for a KR2.
