I've thought about that, too. That's effectively what Mazda did on the prototype 16X. I don't have any Renesis housings to look at, but at first glance, I don't see why it would be any harder on the engine than P-ports; that's how they are added to existing side port engines. It might be very effective to eliminate the P-port idle issues, too.

35 years ago. That's sad.

The stratified charge that controls power with nothing more than adding fuel is interesting, though. The MegaSquirt had the ability to time the injectors. I would assume the Speeduino has feature. Would it be that hard to fill in one of the top coolant passages in a rotor housing, and then drill a passage for the primary injector?

upon this site; thought some of us might be interested in the aviation
history of the Wankel that's discussed. A quick scan didn't reveal
anything 'new', but there is a lot of stuff I haven't seen compiled in
one location before. (And the inevitable handful of errors, of course...)
