Thanks, Richard....I may just order the
Racing Beat lightweight aluminum housings. They are available unported, stock
ported or street ported, etc. Paul Conner
Good luck. The rear and intermediate housings have
been available for quite some time, but the front housing has
been "almost ready" for a couple years now. The last time I talked to
them was January, and I got the same
story.
BTW, when you call them, ask how they feel
about peripheral ports in aircraft use, and you may forget the whole
thing. Using the PP for aircraft can certainly be done, but there's
no slam dunk recipe for it at the moment, unless you want to buy
a Powerports engine. At the moment, there are some good projects
going on, but until they get to the point of flying, and providing real world
data, it's far from a sure thing.
There's also considerable doubt whether a good PP
engine can actually out produce a good side port (ported REW housings) engine in
the rpm's we're running. I'd be willing to bet that the side port will be
more civilized across the rpm range
too.
Don't take this wrong. I desperately want to see
some of these project get completed, and I hope it's a great as they think it
will be. Just can't say for sure until it actually happens.
Cheers,
Rusty
