  Paul,

  I know this is a little off, but I would ask anyway and maybe apologize
  later..hahaha!

  Is it possible?

  I just wanna here your opinion

  Dom

  Probably.

 I have another similar question: has anyone ever mixed a bit of diesel
 with the gas?
 When I flew model helicopters we used methanol mixed with as much 20%
 nitro methane. The problem with the nitro is almost explosive combustion.
 We started mixing gasoline with the fuel at up to about 10%. This cooled
 the combustion and allowed for a more controlled burn and smoother power.
 Diesel fuel has more BTU per lb than gas, but a higher vapor point. If you
 mixed say 10% diesel with the gas, it should lower exhaust temps, and may
 lubricate the apex seals without the oil being added to the fuel.

 Just a thought.

Paul,

Did you look at the link Mark LaPierre posted?  With all you expertise with
rotaries, do you think that a person can build a 13b turbo with 200 rear
wheel HP and 600 ft lbs torque at rear wheels.  If so, I know what's going
in my Suburban and truck.
