Looking for the high temp resistant custom plugs with thicker walls than stock.
Stock ones can`t be well ported...
thanks!

Are you referring to the exhaust port's stainless sleeve insert?
I was just looking through a HyperRev for RX-7 this weekend and saw 2 Japanese companies making exhaust port sleeve replacements.
I have no further information, except keep searching- they are out there.

Can I ask a stupid question...Why do you need them? Maybe we are not extreme enough, but I don't recall our ever having a reason to use anything but the stock exhaust sleeves in motors up to and including 750rwhp. What are you trying to accomplish?

Blake, I am building 1300hp methanol race motor, this is why...
ported stock inserts crack due to high ex. temp and thin walls...
thanks, i will keep searching.

Why not have a machine shop copy the stock inserts out Inconel

Are you looking for something like this?:
Rotarygod has a set that were made by TurboStreetFighter (long since departed rotary drag racer). I would PM him to start with.

But ports on this picture are too small, i`d like to make much bigger.
That is no problem, just need sleeves with any hole inside.
Another problem is that I need Three of them ( 3 rotor engine).
Please let me know if you or RotaryGod could help me to get it...

I do have them drawn up in CAD. I can get new ones made at any time but it will be up to you to get an exhaust flange that matches. I have 2 port sizes. That one is the small one. The one in the picture has actually been ground out. It comes a little bit smaller than the stock port opening so someone could install them in a stock port engine and do some grinding to get better flow without more port timing. The other set I have is much larger. I have them set up with enough meat on them to give them the same exhaust port timing that the 787B had which is quite a bit. The'll go really big. I'm sure they'll flow enough for what you want to do. The decrease in turbulence alone due to the constant area of the ports is substantial. On street engines I actually don't even make the exhaust ports larger than stock. I just use the sleeves. I haven't talked to a machine shop about pricing in a long time and I need to go back and figure out what material would be best. I didn't choose it the first time and I'm down to my last set which I am keeping. I'll probably get them made from a low carbon steel so it would be best to get them ceramic coated.

now i`d like to spend some money into better sleeves, make larger ports and get improved flow turbulence issue, so well described by RotaryGod. i am sure all of those aspects does matter to overall perfromance and reliability.
attached is my intake square porting with almost "direct" injection
there will be one more rail in the intake with 3 more injectors, totally 9x1600cc.

HOLY NO INTAKE VELOCITY BATMAN!!! Man, you turning that engine over to like 20k RPMS?? those ports are the biggest I've ever seen!! And custom 3 rotor eh? Looks like standard 13b intermediate plates, not 20b parts. I wont comment on the engineering, but excellent machine work!!

Jeebus.. those are gynormous.
As an alternative to making a replacement insert like these you could remove the factory insert and extend the exhaust primary through the flange and right up to the port. It may take some creativity to shape the transition properly but it might be easier to accomplish that in your part of the world.

I sent you PM regarding sleeves, thanks.

With intake ports that large I am not understanding why wouldn't you remove the exhaust sleeve all together and port the exhaust much larger.
Look at the exhaust on a 300 HP 2 rotor P-port NA.
Now, I am not understanding why you would want a SMALLER exhaust port/runner when your intake port is so much larger.

exhaust ports should not be VERY large or you`ll lost more than get.

A larger exhaust port isn't always better. Just like anything else. He could probably get away with smaller intake ports and be just fine. Just because the intake ports are large does not mean the exhaust ports need to be that large too. Abel's ports probably aren't as large as many of you think they are. Even Racing Beat's Bonneville engines had smaller exhaust ports than many people here do to their street engines. There's more to exhaust than just pure size. Port timing is also very important.

I agree about port size, you can not make ports big w/o extensive timing. Earlier you open exhaust - more power you loss, later you close exhaust - more overlap you get.

I am just going to add my 2c worth here...
Methanol motors have lower EGTs than petrol motors, so there is no need to stress about that.
The other point I would like to make is 9 x 1680cc Injectors is exactly half the fuel requirement you will need. We run 6 x 1680cc Injectors PER ROTOR in our new methanol engine (Guru PP).
Similar to this 13b:
