Bill,
Can you provide some more info on the differences between these plans and other manifolds in use (or the stock manifold)? How much performance improvement do the dyno tests show? I assume that this is for a conventionally oriented engine.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Complete drawings for Intake mainfold...was xcessive LIM
Hello all,
I have been sitting on a complete set of plans drawings that were given to me by a co-worker that in college had a thesis project on the Mazda rotary engine for aviation use. Yeah... sounded too good to be true to me as well.
Now I'm sitting on complete drawings, specs, dyno results from their project, and all of their research. The dyno results show a comparison from stock and some other configurations.
I can have it built as a one-off (read expensive) or I can make a run of these and try to reduce the cost of my own copy by a few pennies. I can see a possible need to change placement of the injectors to enable the assembly to fit more applications, but the design is very nice. Commercial interests will be welcome. Serious inquiries welcome. Casually interested individuals please stand by for more information.
If you'd like to be placed on the list for a completed copy but don't want any up-front cost, drop me a note.
Regards!
Bill
