Hi Ed, I am still here and still working on engine development. The on going project is the S-beam engine mount which now comes with a custom oil pan. It is a good deal. I am still very committed to p ports and can bore housings, supply inserts and so on. I love the rotary engine. I don't say much over here because I might slip up and mention Paul Lamar in a favorable light. I don't want to cause anyone to have a heart attack. Unfortunately, my retirement income does not allow me to maintain a plane. Hanger rent, insurance, etc. I sold my flying Tailwind but I intend to resume work on the rotary powered one this winter. Eventually it will be sold as a project but not until it is finished firewall forward. I've slowly come to realize that I would rather build than fly anyway. Life is good. Regards, Jerry

The reason, is that the stock 13B will easily give you that kind of power with less effort and cost. If you wanted HP on the order of 200 + then a P port might be one approach to consider. Now if you simply want to experiment with a P port, then got to it. But, it is simply not needed for the power levels you are looking for. The only person I am aware of who may have the information you want is Jerry Hey - he use to be on the list, but I have not seeing anything from him recently. This is the last e mail address I have for Jerry Hey

I have a friend in Denver who is willing to set up his milling machine to mill out some P-Ports on a couple of my old rotor housings over Thanksgiving break. My question is if any of you know where I can get a copy of a template for use with 1.5" diameter intake pipes. I would think there would be something in the public domain by now (but I could be wrong). The potential benefits of a P-Port make it pretty attractive to at least experiment with at some point and I will be happy to develop between 160 and 170 hp in my 9A so I think that should be doable...
