  I just had a brilliant idea.

  Unbolt the DD15 turbo
  and blow down turbine and bolt it on a Mazda p-port 3 rotor of around 500
  HP.

  If you can do that and show a legitimate .39 BSFC on the dyno the world
  will beat a
  path to your door.

  I know you can come up with a quick and dirty turbo compound Paul.  Don't
  quit on the idea.  Maybe this is it.

  I think so. It might not be perfect but it can be optimized after the
  principle is demonstrated.

  Paul Lamar

 Yea Paul.  My sentiments exactly.  Doesn't have to be perfect.  Just has to
 work and ultimately be cost effecient.  You'll get it, just like the other
 projects you've done.  Regarding everyone chipping in, I'm in.  Lost my
 butt in May, but can always scrape together something.  Let's get it going.

This would be really cool to try.

EGT seems like it will be a concern..  Though the OTR diesel system is
designed for continuous operation, it's probably not designed for the
Wankel's high EGT.  Not a big deal for a demo system.  And multiple
ways to deal with it - better turbo, and running a long header pipe
between the exhaust ports and the turbine inlet.
