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.

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

 

Thanks,
