Regarding FF, I meant with respect to stock intake system on the Renesis.  For instance, will FF rate be equal for same RPM, or higher on PP?

All this talk of additional power coupled with an easier intake design has me thinking I should probably go this direction with my Renesis.  It’s still on the stand after rebuild.

I haven’t constructed the manifold yet anyway.

 

I assume fuel flow will be higher than normal?

 

Higher than a similar piston engine of the same HP. Slightly higher. About.666 the devils own fuel consumption at full throttle best power. Looking for F/A in the 12s, and EGT under 1650 degrees.

 

However the rotary can run well far lean of peak EGT. Even further with a high powered ignition system. The piston engines cannot.

 

Is slide throttle best option?

 

I never understood what problem the slide throttle was supposed to cure. Powersport had a butterfly right on the rotor housing to cure a poor idle. Our Pports didn't like to idle at street car RPM (650 RPM) but did well at 1,100 RPM, and sounded fine. That with a 48 IDA Weber with 44MM chokes.

 

Only an unported (stock) Renesis has no overlap. Peripheral porting a Renesis would get you some overlap, but nothing like Peripheral porting a side port rotor housing where you have two peripheral ports together..

 

On this dyno sheet there are readings at as low an RPM as I have seen. This is a racing 12-A by Daryl Drummond. Best power at 9,400 RPM and 244.7 HP on 36 MM chokes. 

 

Look at the F/A and EGTs. Note the effort to keep the oil temps down to 160 degrees.  

This is a Bridgeported side port engine. The 13B would have more everywhere just from more displacement. Injected maybe 5% more. A Periphery port maybe 10% more.

Need to search archives I guess.

 

Good info Lynn, Thanks
