Hijacking question....Would you ask him if Mazda will compete with the 787B again like the American Lemans DP division or any future stuff.

I remember he had a coup[le 4 rotors laying in the shop at one time.

exhaust port



93black, do you know why he prefers to round out the exhaust port opening vs. a straighter bottom like most porters prefer?

Because Mr. Engman has alot of experience and actually knows how air flows through an exhaust port. If the bottom edge of the exhaust port is flat, airflow is really decreased. If it is slightly rounded like the picture, flow increases. You do not want a wide port opening line. The exact opposite is true with the top edge. A rounded top edge hurts flow whereas a flatter top edge helps it. On a flowbench you can really see this.

Great stuff,



so on a pp intake would that mean bottom end flat and top end rounded, just the reverse???
