I talked to the guy who
sells the new Mistral rotary engine, and he said that my intake is very similar
to what they were using. They are presently changing it to relocate the
injectors very close to the intake of the engine, however it will still have the
wrap-around intake like we have with the throttlebody on the cold side of the
engine. I have a picture that he sent to me if you are interested.

Hi Paul,
I'd be interested to see the picture of their
setup. I've thought about moving the injectors also, and keeping the
existing intake as is for air delivery. The primaries would fit
fine, but I'd have to get creative with the fuel rails to keep from interfering
with the runners. Does anyone have an extra primary fuel rail they
would sell me? There are a couple of flat bosses on the side of the
intake, where the secondary goes into the engine. I'm sure it would be
possible to bore a socket for the secondaries into those
bosses.
This would certainly fix the throttle response issues,
but would it help the power? I can certainly imagine that it might.
It might also be the easiest thing to try
first.
I still can't get Finn's idea out of my
head. If a thick plate could be fashioned to house injectors,
and butterflies, it would be an easy matter for each builder to run the air
intake tubes as needed. I just love the idea, but don't see how I can make
the butterfly part of it. Still
thinking...
Cheers,
Rusty
