Somewhere I have seen a rotor housing w/ 2 small PP that utilizes the side ports for intake, but they have been filled to flow into the rotor housing instead. I know it sounds crazy, but I believe the port was to get around some racing rules. I'll look for the picture.

It's called a side fed PP. Was very popular back in the day when the rules did not allow PP>

I have no such pictures, however I can draw up one in MS Paint.

Here is a picture.



If the port is used for a turbo engine, all openings may be left open. For a NA engine, the original (stock port may be filled with epoxy so as to maintain some velocity.

How can you seal it up between the tention bolt holes? RTV?

It seems like coolant would seep into the new runner.
