Post Your Vacuum and RPM at Idle
Would like to see the cross section because most post about this and do not account for the variability of idle speed.
Post your vacuum level at idle and your best guess at what RPM you are at.
Also, include a comment on your engine health too.
New Rebuild - 16 inHg at 650 RPM

50k on motor. -12 inHg at idle 750 rpm at cold start up. -18 inHG at idle 750 rpm when warmed up. -22inHG when cruising on the freeway. motor pulls strong with a 10-8-10 boost pattern. no smoke at all. vacuum went up a little after adding pettit racing protek-R premix to the fuel. "anyone else have this happen"?

I'm not worried that I only get 11-12 inches of vacuum at 850 RPMs
I am on a street port, live in las vegas with dry *** air at 2000+ ft above sea level, and I only have the engine idling at 850 RPMs
If I bump the idle to 950-1000 it pulls 14-15 inches of vacuum no problem.

I pull around 10-12 at 1000 rpms, with an aggressive port with overlap. On the PFC commander it's about -300 to -320. I recently checked my compression and it was fine, 104 psi across all 6 rotor faces.
If you guys have a serious street port (not just polishing of the runners like some 'street ports' i've seen) with altered port timing it is going to affect the vacuum. In this case 12 inches mercury is fine BUT on a stock port engine I would be worried with anything less than 15 inches at ~900 rpm.

I just installed my original motor again after my ported motor blew the rear seal. This is the original motor that came in the car in 93, completely stock 32k, pulls 21in@750rpm, 122-125psi. My ported motor when I last built it pulled about 17in@850rpm, 117-119psi, it had the intakes ported (exhaust side stock but smoothed out) and 9.0:1 rotors.
For you guys with the 12in@800+, I'd check compression if your not race ported. Also don't just rely on your $350 RE Amemiya dash mounted guage...hookup that $45 Craftsman and compare....might have a kink in the hose...lol

Stock Mazda reman with ~6k miles on it. With the PowerFC set to 720RPM I pull about 19" Hg. That is, when something under the hood doesn't get too hot and the engine tries to stall.
Heck, with the ISC pulled it was idling at ~600RPM and still held 17" vacuum.

yes, this is the word. actual porting will pull much less, us with the "real" porting, not just smoothing need another thread. for the rest, 14-15 or less. go to your dealership and get tested. like going to the free clinic. you play, theres a chance you might pay.

Thank you Rich, I was hoping someone else would back up what I said.
I'm seriously getting tired of the massive paranoya posts that run rampant on this forum. No wonder people get a negative connotation about how un-reliable the rotary motor is.
