Question Porting

I know this is a question that has been asked time and time again, i'm just too lazy to search it.

How does one port a rotary? Is it like a boinger where you port the intake and exhaust the same??? Or is it totally different???

How difficult is it???

thanks,
Eric

God, you are lazy. I am too lazy to do a search for you, but this was in FAQs so you can check it out.

AND GOOD GOD DO A SIMPLE SEARCH!
Sorry, couldn't resist.

edit: Damn, beat me to it! He has more anyway. Good luck.

Porting refers to the art of making the intake and exhaust ports bigger, by grinding out metal! Can you say it any easier then that?

Boise area......Would be fun but there's three problems;

One: my rebuilder is in Cali ($64 off Ebay)

Two: college has my budget tied up for now

Three: my truck needs a new clutch (lost it leaving class last night)

What I want is to start a RX7 club in my area.
