I am interested to know if anyone has tried Hilborn style injection or direct port injection, such as right into the rotor housing. Anyone tried a third spark plug. Dry sump. Anyone made there own ignitions, intakes or exhausts. Anything that could fit in this topic.

Wow, talk about F'n hardcore

 

umm roger mandeville, scoot in japan.... its expensive and not many companies have the resources for that type of R&D besides MAZDA.........

 

Guru Racing has done stuff like what you're after http://www.gurumotorsports.com/

Hey what can I say, I got a small machine shop and I like to play. Got to see if I can build a handgrinade. There are not many sites that talk about hardcore racing modification how toos, I think they are afraid to give any great secrets away or losing money. This is a site that deals with aircraft rotary stuff, but there is some interesting stuff that could be used on cars. http://home.earthlink.net/~rotaryeng/ACRE.html and some other usful stuff http://www.diy-efi.org/diy_efi/ http://www.dynopower.freeserve.co.uk/nitrous_oxide/

I realize most of the people on this site probable drag race their street car, I just care to build something I can take to the track buzz the **** out of it and have a little fun! So I am game to try all kinds of things.

DO IT! we need more hardcore freaks with the need for speed and power.. the guys in australia and japan tweak the **** out of their engines.. here we're all worried about reliability and $$ if you have the $$ and resources we would love to see what you can do.. sorry i can't help you much more than giving you my full support.. i don't have much knowledge about wtf you're talking about but keep us updated

 

do it.

 

Here is an interesting post from the airplane news letter. For those needin the juice. May be useful.

Well now that is a very cool idea. And of course it would work, because the mixture wouldn't combust as completely with the trailing ignition off, thereby lowering the temperatures.

that is a very interesting site......i like the ideas.....especially the relay on the trailing plugs....
