Jarrett,

From my limited knowledge, the side exhausted RX8 would be ideal for PP. The advantages of the RX8 engine is that the rotor is higher compression and the inlet manifold is very effective. The disadvantages are that we can't use the inlet manifold because of it's size and the side exhaust adds extra heat the oil.

Win some lose some.

a lot of fuel wasted with the P Port due to the overlap in timing.

I've always wondered about this. Realizing that the P-port exhaust lets the unburnt fuel into the the exhaust to be burnt there and lost as a potential for power. What about a Renisis with the side port exhaust? Wouldn't a P-port Renisis not have this problem, and therefore possibly produce more power per GPH fuel flow over your typical 13B? Or am I missing the big picture..

I've always wondered this..
