 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.

 You have to look at "just the facts Ma'am". That was dynoed in 2nd gear. That
is where the 600 lb/ft torque came from. No magic. It is like all
statisticians; you can use the information in a manner that suits your needs.
Take three statisticians and give them one set of information and you will get
three different results depending on their personal motivations. Follow the
money in this case.
