Has anyone looked into creating carbon fiber intake manifolds for their
rotary engine? It would save weight and I would think it would not be
much more difficult than making a completely costume AL manifold.

How is the carbon-fiber assembly coupled to the engine? Is a flange incorporated that bolts directly onto the engine block, and if so, are there heat-related issues involved?

Chad
