Talking Combination

What type of setup are running in your RX7? Do you have any pictures of under the hood? I heard rumors that your car was on a serious weight loss plan. Show us your handy work.

You don't really have to show us, but inquiring minds want to know. Me especially.

Thanks
Albert

Lasse,

Yes I remember you from a while back. Some progress, but busy with work and family life. Starting a family is much more demanding than I expected. Racing still lives in my blood just not as important as it was before. The cost of living here in California is insane.

I made some new housings much different from the pictures I sent you a while back. I know everyone says bigger is not better, but I am not a firm believer of that concept yet.

How is your P-Port project going?

Thanks
Albert

Talking My web site will probably never be completed

As far as I am concerned the concept of having a web site is great, but if you don't have time for your own projects it does not make sense for me to try and market myself. I love working on Rotaries, but trying to make a living from it here in California is straight out rough. Too many shops willing to cut/slash prices to the point it is not worth my time.

So you are absolutely correct about my web site, and I won't deny it.

How is your P-Port project going?

Thanks

I have some PP projects goin! Last one was that i sold a 13B "WR" PP motor to Norway that was dyno tested to 332 hp (converted from rolling road to engine hp)
at 9000 rpm, torque was 190 ft/lbs at ca 8000 rpm. That was a rallycross motor with a Weber 51 IDA 44mm venturis in PP intake, 2000mm long primaries and a MSD 6AL ignition. Latest project is a 13B "extended" PP port engine with Ianetti ceramic seals, Gene Berg 54mm Efitec distriburless ignition and short primaries. Hope to have it dyno tested in late November. Unfortanately Mickes and mine RX-4 drag car was not completed this year either, but we work on it sometimes.

i got my new plenum . Rene came up with something different. will allow me to add 2 more injectors for a total of twelve. we can now spray along with the intake air charge to cool the air from the turbo.
