How many people are building side port 13B? 4 port? six port? Side
port RX8 motors? 4 port? 6 port?

Well you missed my app. I'm planning a P-port single, if that counts.

Thanks John.

Paul:


I building an RX-8 six-port for my Cozy IV.


Still wondering if it is worth it to tear it down and convert to P-port
intake and exhaust. I guess if I do that I'd consider aluminum housings.


I do have Tracey's 2.85-1 reduction and Jeff's engine mount.


Do you have a mount designed for the Cozy IV?


Thanks and regards,

The uni mount will work.
I just need a sketch of the firewall hard points, the distance of the
prop flange to the firewall and the position of the thrust line relative
to the hard points. All that should be in the plans.

Is the Cozy IV and four place version. If so you could use
the extra power of a P-port.

I am trying to find out if a lack of good side port manifolds are holding people
up that have assembled good engines.

BTW I have finally come to the conclusion EFI is not worth the money and the extra year
or so building time. I was avoiding working on the RV4 because I was not
looking forward to sorting out the rat nest wiring with no schematic and tuning
Tracy's EFI while not knowing what and when it was doing things :)
No source code. I have written complicated program is assembly language
and I know how difficult that can be.

It was running but not well. Hardly giving me the needed confidence
to fly it.

When I decided to install a Holley my whole attitude changed for the better :)
