Single rotor exhaust header design??
Hi Mike,
Pic attached of my "extractors" being tacked
up (and the EFI mock-up as well). The primary pipes are
about as equal in length as I could get them. Seem to work well
on the car. Engine now has nearly 2,500 km
on it, and pulled 8,000+ RPM several times yesterday on the expressway
(but only in the intermediate gears of course).
I can report that the Renesis Single Rotor is going
real strong, and hasn't missed a beat since it was installed. I made
a "flying" round trip (400 Km) to visit my favourite blacksmith at
Newcastle and also called in to see a "boatie" mate of mine to discuss "Air
Boats".
Will know more about power output of the Rensis 4
port WL once I get the EFI system all hooked up onto Humphrey and do
some dyno figures in a couple of weeks or so. More pix as I do the
installation.
Cheers,
Leon

So a quick question:
If you have a Renesis based single rotor with two
exhaust ports each pulsing at the same time, what is the best arrangement for
the headers?
The best length for the primary is going to be
determined by the rpm - so should be the same as for any other rotary.
But is it best to run two independent pipes and concentrate on minimizing back
pressure, or, if you were to make one primary twice the length of the other
one and then join into a single pipe perhaps you get some
scavenging?
How do traditional `bunch of bananas' headers
compare with VAM/tangential in terms of engine performance?
Lynn, Leon ???
Cheers
Mike
