I'm ignorant, so could someone please explain to me how the manifold works for the 13b? I mean, it's what makes the engine so recognizable, but how does it work...there are like two ports/tracts/whatever you call them for each rotor, or something...

What exactly are you asking? Like, why is it shaped the way it is? Or how it operates without valves? Or why are there 4 runners for 2 rotors?

Yeah. My non-rotary-loving friend was wondering how it worked, and I was like, hmm...I don't know!

2 runners for each rotor



each rotor has 2 of it's own intake ports, which are situated on either side of the rotor. 1 runner for each intake port.

If I'm wrong, someone please clarify.

So what's with ports opening up at higher rpm?
