12 a

Paul,

Does the P Port require a plenum in front of the intake runners.

The video of the RX 8 P Port with carb and vapor cloud above the carb was a indicator of a potential hazard.

What material can be used to build the plenum with respect to fire potential (glass composite flammability)?

Re installed the engine into the airframe and the sensors and brackets clear everything.

Aluminum would be best. We have used fiberglass.

Paul,



Does it need to be a specific volume?

How did you measure air when you tested the MAF sensor to get the curve?

I would think that one should test the unit to determine the curve.

What was your test set up?

Joe Berki

We used Tracy's EFI and that used manifold pressure rather
than MAF.

You have been on here a long time. I am sure you have these pictures :-)

BTW turn off the double line spacing on your email editor.
