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.

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.
