Mark Supinski was flying a P-port Renesis, but that
aircraft (Mustang 2 I think?) was recently totalled. I don’t think he ever got
it sorted out and early performance numbers werent spectacular, but he was based
near Denver I think so altitude was a factor.
Best reasons I can think of to PP? Power potential and
ease of intake construction/design. Paul L had Mazdatrix dyno a PP Renesis and I
think the HP was up around 245 at about 7200RPM. Not sure why he chose to
go to PP on a Renesis with the side port exhaust rather than a 13B with the PP
exhaust. I'd think that the 13B would be the better choice.
Someday I'm thinking I'll build up a PP 13B with RD-1C
to swap with my current 4 port 13B with RD-1A. Waiting to see how Mark's 20B
works out.

Peripheral Port 13B Rotary Engine
Is anyone flying with a
Mazda 13B peripheral port engine? If so, how is it
working? Can you describe the advantages and
disadvantages?
Thanks,
