Mother of GOD! Thanks for the continued Rotary ****. You're gonna need a couple of garden hoses from the fuel cell to feed that monster! WOW! Impressive as HELL. Love the open WGs and external dump! It's gonna make your ears bleed (with a HUGE smile)!

Besides the impeccable welding, those bends are phenomenal. A fab masterpiece. I can't imagine how much it would have cost you to get it made.

Are you planning to run cooling water to your 'gate-array'?

if you don't mind my asking, why didn't you try to even out the lengths of the primaries a little more? did you think it wasn't worth the effort?

Those wastegates look insane. I haven't really got my head around the whole rotary back pressure issue but I'll take you're word for it that it is minimum. You obviously know what you're doing.

I do wonder how you are planning to fit intercooler, radiator and oil coolers at the front? Just how much space is there?

Chip, your workmanship is phenomenal, there is just one detail about the engine bay that bugs the **** out of me, it is the stainless tie wire on your coils. The method you used is not the "proper" way to do it. You want to wrap the wire so it is always tightening the screw and there can be no slack in t wire. I know it is a small detail bitut I think it would be something you would want right as everything else is done perfect.

I can't wait to hear this thing run.

6th person on the improper safety wire notice .. will need 10 votes to have the motion go down to the wire guy and have him do it correctly ..


Thanks
