 Thank you Paul. My next question is regarding the RX8 rotor housing.

 Has anybody P-ported  the exhaust as well as the intake port on a RX8
 housing ?

 This would solve a problem in making alloy end plates.

 Yes that is a good idea. I have no recall of anyone doing that but it
 is possible. I would get the Inconel exhaust insert out of a junk RX7
 rotor house and use that. It will take a little art with a die
 grinder to get it to just fit. The exhaust flange bolts will hold it
 in place.

 Great idea. Now on the lookout for a junk housing.

Try Hurley Engineering in Coventry.

I shall see if I can go over on Monday.
It's not too far from me and I have been meaning to pop in for a long
time. Should work out at about 50 miles there.

Thanks also for the photos. Least I know what and who to look out for..

Hi, I am having trouble following the reasoning for p-porting RX-8 exhaust;
why not use earlier housings that already have the p-exhaust ports?

Murry Rozansky


It is probably what he has. Good rotor housings are expensive. Junk are
free.
