Randy,

Lynn is the guy that can tell you about the 12A, he raced them for years.
How much HP is recommended for the Cozy you want to build?

Subject: [FlyRotary] What to do with this Mazda

Folks,

Charlie England wanted more traffic, so I will come out of lurk mode to
introduce myself and ask a question or two.

My name is Randy Smith and I live in Columbia, SC and am trying to start
building a Cozy Mk-IV.  I've had the plans for over 20 years, but three
things have to line up before one can build a plane.  1. Money.  2.
Time. and 3. Space.  At any one time, only 2 out of the 3 have ever been
in line, but they're beginning to converge.  :-)

I plan to use a rotary in this airplane and I've been listening and
learning about it from this list for several years.  A few years ago, a
friend of my brother gave me an old Mazda RX-7.  It's been an eyesore in
my yard and shop ever since.  This car has a 12-A engine with a carb.

My questions are:

1.  Is this a suitable engine for the Cozy Mk-IV, in the horsepower
department?
2.  If it is, how hard is it to convert it to fuel injection?
3.  How hard is it to add a turbo charger to it?
4.  Should I just sell the damned thing and get a newer renesis when I
get closer to time to needing the engine?

Well, I've just kicked the hive, let's see what you guys think.

Thanks in advance,

-Randy
