Huh?
I must not understand what ports you're talking about. The intake ports are opened by the rotor passing by. If they are plugged then the engine is seized. I don't think this is what you're refering to. Please clarify.

On a GSL-SE there are 2 intake ports and 1 exhaust port per rotor chamber. (2+1) x 2=6 ports. The secondary intake port opens only under high RPM conditions.

I've been wondering if there's a way to rig a solenoid to one of the coils to kick in around 4k RPMs to open the ports electronically with two motors insted of two actuators, then have the solenoids kick off at 4.2k RPMs so the motors don't burn out. I really have no idea how solenoids work though, It's just a thought, but i'd love to see it done.

European 6 port engine use the pressure from the airpump, but they don't have sleeves. The aux. ports are closed/opened by butterflies, in the intake manifold.
A European intake could help you (I guess)

Rev is right and on my 12a 6 port the actuators are worked from the back of the switches through little holes that exhaust travels through. The pipe your talking about is the "Back Pressure Sensing Tube" and I dont Run one. My actuators seem to work fine. I cut the secondary spring in half and now my secondaries and my auxhilaries come in at the same time.

I saw a thread a month ago on the 2nd gen forum about electric selonoids try there
I removed the sleaves all together as weal as the actuators lost very little low end. seems to work fine other wise

This rotary learning curve is HUGE!
So what you're telling me is that my 85' GSL-SE has ports that open up on their own not by the rotor passing the port opening? How is this done? That would entail valve train right? Wrong. How then?

rotating sleeves - basically a cylinder open at one end and along one side - when the port is open, the side of the cylinder is turned towards the rotor chamber. By turning the cylinder you close the port.
If that's inaccurate, wiser minds will point out my errors

On the 12A's for example, only the primary ports (centre plate) are used at idle and low load. The secondary butterflies in the carb are vacuum operated so they only start feeding the secondary ports (end pates) when there's sufficient load.
In addition to primaries and secondaries, the 6-port engines have two auxillary ports which are located above the secondary ports. These open at higher rpm to provide more port area and longer port timing. This is done to try and give the engine better VE while still maintaining good response and driveability at low rpm. Kind of like rotary v-tec if you will.
