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.

Thanks, Richard....I may just order the Racing
Beat lightweight aluminum housings. They are available unported, stock
ported or street ported, etc. Paul Conner
