A couple of years on the dyno......

What happened to thread? Kind of lost touch with it but it would be nice to see if HC achieved what he set out to do and what the final results were of each turbo.

I imagine this will get locked or way off track in a hurry. From my understanding he tore the motor down...... again. It is somewhere around 4-5 motors in 3 years with not one complete dyno result yet. This isnt a shot at Howard, its the truth.

The thread was closed by another mod and I'm pretty sure Howard was glad it was closed because he made no effort to revive it.

Regardless of whether you think he was on a good track or not, he was only documenting experience for the rest of the community.

A shame that some users want to start a pissing match in something so beneficial. Howard's done more with rotaries than the VAST majority of board members.

ITs a damn shame because regardless whether you are a rotary expert or hobbyist, the info was good to learn from, instead of the usual BS that comes out in threads where everything is kept a big fecking secret, especially when it comes to porting!

Even if HC has had a few engine failures then so what, he's been open about a couple of them, and even admitted to things he shouldn't have done and learnt from it.

Also regardless of whether HC was doing things the right or wrong way according to others, I personally couldn't say, everyone has got to admit it would be nice to see the final results of each turbo pushed to its limits until it stops making power, as most people, here in the uk, only run 1bar/14.7 psi tops. Due to not being able to afford the parts necessary to run 600+RWHP or infact use there cars that often to gain the benefit of spending that kind of money to run a car more than adequate at beating nearly every super car going.
