ok, peripheral inatke is the best bang for your buck, correct. downside is high idle and loudness.

what would be the advantages of an intake like this?

is there a lot of work involved?

are there any companies that would tackle such job?

thanks



heres the intake work im talking about.

Hey thats a pretty cool pic. So for the exhaust would you still be able to use the stock openings or would you have to make them out the side housings? Doesn't the Renesis push the the exhaust out of the front and rear housings instead of the rotor housings?

DAMN thats cool! The peripheral and exhaust ports seem so close together though.

PP gives you very little bottom end (Power is from 3-4K and up)



There is so much overlap it's like having a HUGE Racing cam in a Piston motor. I think can also be problems with reversion, where the air flow (and fuel are pushed out the intake ports).



But PP's make great power. 250 HP for a 13B N/A is comon.

my guess is, plus ive been told, but not from anyone whio has actually done it. thats why you keep the center ports. gives you a little better low end. but i could be wrong.
