Mark,

   Glad you mentioned your use of the individual throttle body's as I had forgotten that you replaced the slide throttle.......I presume that you used the two inch OD stainless intake tubes as called out by Paul Lamar ?...........The 48 mm TB's are an almost perfect match for the intake tube ID.........Did you use any "Devco" sealant in the water passage around the intake tubes in addition to the red gasket sealant under the plates ?.........Also did you have any problem with TIG weld "Spatter" getting on the chrome surface of the rotor hsg and causing any damage ?.........

   I have one of "MISTRAL's" mount plates which bolts up to a Lyc "dynafocal" mount ring and solves the thorny Rotary Engine mount problem and will allow me to switch engines (hopefully) at some point........I am building a somewhat hybrid version of the 13BREW with RB alum rear and center hsgs (expensive 28 lb weight savings) ..........I am retaining the iron front hsg (rear in my a/c) as the "MISTRAL" plate bolts up to it with several 6 mm bolts and I was not fond of the idea of  my entire engine hanging on these bolts into aluminum threads.........I also have a TO4E Turbo on the bench just in case I get this done in this lifetime........<:)

P.S. Do you happen to have a photo of your throttle body installation ?

Thanks Again,

Kelly Troyer
