    hi,
    are you have rx8 porting templates?

    thank you
    vins lee


    I don't recommend porting the RX8 engine. It is cheaper to p-port and you get far
    more power.

   Paul,
   I'm new to all of this, although I've been interested in rotary engines since they came out.
   What is a P-port?

In the youtube video demonstration of a tandem Autogyro.
I believe the Mazda 12a is the power plant.
Could you also have used the 13b .
I am assuming the power  requirement is between 100- 110 hp

Regards
Zahid


Yes. The power could be much higher. Perhaps as much as 150 HP.

   The main difference between the two engines is the rotor width. 12a engines have 70mm rotors and the 13b have 80mm rotor widths. There are slight differences between years and series of engines but overhaul is the same procedure.

Thanks dale , Paul I will be going with 13b .

I have seen some around for $250- 350 USD probably in a sorry state on eBay
and get one shipped over from USA to UK.
