I took the turbo down to Irvine at

     Advanced Thermal Products Inc. <http://www.atpwrap.com/>

in the RX8.


To get a custom inconel heat shield installed. You better be sitting
down when you get the bill.

They will ship it back to me by Thursday or Friday.
I insured it for a $1000.

Jim Mederer was adamant about this being necessary.

I talked to Kyle Mohan at Mazdatrix about it too on the way down.

Kyle drifts a turbo 3 rotor making 800 to 950 HP all over the world.
He is not sure exactly how much HP he has. That is on gasoline!!!!
Great Reno engine.

Kyle says it is like having the sun under your hood.
The turbo runs white hot. Almost transparent.

The rotary exhaust and intake valves never sleep. They are always
open to one or more of the three chambers.

The rotary is more like a jet engine than a piston engine in this regard.

WOW!  Very impressive!  it would be very cool to have that engine running at
Reno.  Do you have an airframe for it?  I recall seeing what looked like a
single seat version of a Nemesis NXT, unfinished, on display and for sale at
Mojave a while ago.  Andy Chiavetta may have something to do with it:
