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

  -- Hi Paul,
     I am putting an RX8 in my modified Long EZ.

P-port or side port RX8?
four port or six port ?

Paul Lamar


It's a side port (4 inlet 3 exhaust) I am putting it in as it is (factory assembled) for now, I may p-port it at a later stage. I will be using a rotec throttle body (don't want a computer)  had one on my other EZ, boy was it economical.
Also I was wondering if you had a circuit diagram for a CDI that will be triggered by a couple of hall effect sensors ?

 The stock manifold is rather high but it will probably fit in an EZ.

What I have on my list of things to do is build a 12 volt high voltage
supply for capacitor discharge ignition systems using a new chip by Linear Tech.

The LT®3751 is a high input voltage capable flyback controller
designed to rapidly charge a large capacitor to a
user-adjustable high target voltage set by the transformer
turns ratio and three external resistors.

The actual CD circuit is the same as the outboard/Vespa and the TC 3 rotor
CD systems.

That Rotec "throttle body" is a copy of the American Ellison
carb :) It will work great when you get it sorted out. See notaposa.pdf

BTW sorry you guys lost the America's cup at the last race but you have
some great sailors down there. You put up a great fight. For awhile there
I thought sure you would win. Most of the sailors on the U.S. Oracle
where from OZ including the helmsman.

Fantastic 50 MPH hydrofoil catamarans. More fun to watch than Formula 1.
