yeah, that old software was quite clunky compared to what i was used to but it works.

hopefully i will be out again in the near future for another session for those who are interested in the area, wasn't able to get out this past year.

you could go even further with a semi pp intake and exhaust combo with tuned adjustable length runners/auxiliary ports but then you're getting into aerospace timeframe testing R+D. that is how i would envision the final version of the 16x to be, if it ever sees the light of day, however it would run dirty and get rather poor fuel mileage but the engine would at least be competetive with modern piston engines.
Of course, but that is far from bolting up some junk yard parts and having something with some road manners.

Would a future semi p-port rotary run dirty? Im not so sure. I would suspect most of the unburnt hydrocarbons would come from blowing air/fuel mixture directly into the exhaust during port overlap. Something Direct Injection would solve. But who knows...

direct injection would go a ways, but yet not something we have seen so far.

semi PPs can be made to run with street manners but most people don't have the time to make a complex multi velocity intake system like mazda has done with many series of engines.
