   12 a

   Paul,            From memory you possibly felt that the trailing plug
   was not much use in aircraft use of the rotary.  If I switch off the
   trailing plug nothing seems to change, A/F stays the same, RPM does not
   alter, so what does the trailing plug do at 3000 RPM plus? Would it
   not have been better for Mazda to put two leading plugs in, instead of
   the one?

   I think it might affect the BSFC slightly.
   Mazda made a 3% improvement in the Lemans 4 rotor BSFC  by
   using 3 plugs.

   Funny you say that I want to make this turbo 13b run on a Microsquirt but the Microsquirt doesn't have the ability to do leading and trailing, so I was going to fire them both at the same time, I know some have done it. If it works I'll have a extremely reliable efi with ls1 coils for around $600, so will see. My first time playing with a rotary and I am already doing it wrong. Lol.
   Thanks, Jacob Sturgis
