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.

his 20B P port
in his Lancair ES in Austin..............I
am not aware of anyone currently flying a
P port 13B................

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