Thanks Tom,
I have a Bruce Turrentine 13B with 9.7:1 compression rotors. I believe
it's got the turbo end housings and the NA rotor housings. There are some
photos at:
http://www.rotarywiki.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Engine and if you go to
Bruce's web site, There are photos of the engine being built up:

Mine is the "Hulk" (for some reason).
The TB is 65 mm if I did the math right.
