Just wanted to hear some pros and cons about running mechanical fuel injection on rotaries. It's not a street car.

I'm not expecting too much imput on this here because I'm not even sure anyone on here has used it.

 

i have seen it done.
hell, that guy, cant think of his name at the moment... had a rx3 a few seasons ago and has switched it to a 2nd gen... he runs mechanical FI. pretty wild set up. i saw his running a few weekes ago at englishtown. was running 8's and using an NPR IC.

 

So it's obviously working for him?

 

they ran mfi on the imsa cars in the 80's

that's carlos gonzales. but it's an archaic system, and you won't be competitive for too long against the efi guys. you'll be at the mercy of the track and weather conditions. on one pass you could foul a plug and drop a cylinder and the next, run lean and melt a piston just from varying loads on the motor.

 

thats his name. Carlos Gonzales.

good thing we dont have pistons to melt or cylinders to drop. LOL

 

oops

 

Not trying to be an *** since it's not on a rotary, but v-8 powered dirt track sprint cars use mechanical FI and typically there are local tracks with good ol' boys more than happy to talk about motors.

 

Carlos(OKY)Gonzales just ran 7.80's at the NHRA Englishtown event using mechanical injection.
His son post here sometimes so do a search if you need any more info. The shop is GNS Performance.
