what is undriveable about a bridge port? I always hear "rough idle" and such, but I haven't read specifics.



and what about bridging the 5th and 6th ports...affect driveability?

a bp is very drivable, but each brap (you know brap brap brap brap), rocks the car, it wants to buck at part throttle under 5k rpms, other than that, the bp got mid 20's mpg on the freeway, it has more low end torque than any other na ive driven, and it was quiet

Here is how Racing Beat does it:




The Racing Beat-modified 13B housing begins as a stock housing, but we bore and tap the housing, screw in and epoxy a threaded O-ringed tube, port the intake, and then race port the exhaust. The connection from the intake manifold to the housing is made with heavy duty hose and hose clamps (supplied with the Racing Beat peripheral intake manifolds).

yeah, but you have to worry about port timing too

Check out some of Judge Ito's posts. He has a semi p-port/bridge he is putting together https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

Besides the Peripheral intake opening. A P-port engine offers more intake timing then a bridgeport. Basically the P-port engine is the biggest camshaft you could install on a rotary. Intake on a p-port could open sooner then a bridgeport and close later then a bridgeport. But because the engine has a huge overlap(Intake and exhaust ports opened at the same time) keeping a steady low Idle is kinda of hard. And because the the intake ports are so huge, it has an effect on air velocity(air velocity is slow) and reduces low rpm torque.. Some low rpm torque could be regained with a custom intake manifold.

does it have to have the overlap (from exhaust and intake being open at same time) to make most power, or could you give the pport diff timing and still make gobs of power?

or the always nice semi-pport, just use a near stock sideport for your primary and pport as secondary, maybe the center housing so you only have 3 runners going to the intake manifold, one for each pport, and one for the center housing feeding both primarys.

run 3 individual TB's, actually, just use the stock Throttle Body.

ooooooh god im overloading with ideas!!!!!!!

the nsu wankel spiders idle nicely at 800rpms, they have a small port though, and it uses a 2 barrel progessive carby, the first stage is really small, the second is big

yeah, theyre small ports with reasonable port timing. but still all pport.

ito, you should try to make a semi-pport N/A, that can be driven daily. see if you can get 300hp N/A streetable, lol. thats a challenge

Node 03-13-2003 09:31 PM

VWs have carbs like that, erm i mean throttlebodies

Ito, check your PMs on RX-7 Club. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
