Subject: [FlyRotary] peripheral
ports
Hi, all....I need to make an inquiry regarding
peripheral ports. I understand that the housings get the round
peripheral ports installed, and that the exhaust port is also modified to
complete the P-Port modification to the rotor housings.
What, if anything needs
to be done to the existing center and end plates? If I purchase a set of
p-ported housings, can I use the e-shaft and rotors from either my 1989 4-port
turbo engine with it's 9.0 compression rotors, or the e-shaft and rotors from
my 1988 NA 6-port engine with it's 9.4 compression rotors? Or would I be
better off using the street-ported 4-port center and end plates? I asked Paul
Lamar, but I didn't understand his short answer. He mentioned epoxy, but
is that for the p-port housings or do you block off the ports in the front,
rear and center plates that have the triangular ports in them? Thanks in
advance for all replies. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the
internals of this engine, and how the stock porting works (or doesen't work)
with peripheral ports. Paul Conner
Paul,
with the combustion mixture comming in through
the P-P opening you do not need any of the side ports. In addition, the engine
would not even run with both. I tried it, have positive prove. So there is not
things like street porting or two or for port etc. since all these refer to
side ports. P.L. was saying, the side ports in the side housings are being
closed in a P-P using epoxy. Ideally, a side housing without any ports to
begin with would be nice. This may become available if and when my single
rotor is perfected and I make a configuration useable on a two rotor. Don't
hold your breath.
Hope this helps.
