That will be fine I have run my t51 like that for the last 5,500 miles with water injection.

he should be good with either WI or W/M injections. Up to him. WI is better for detonation deterance.

how many hp can produce at 20 psi with a street ported engine .?

BNA_ELLIS i saw in your web site that you are running more than 500hp on barely 1.2 bar
how many miles can last a rotary engine with those hp numbers
i will tune my and expecting 420 wit the t78
but my friend want to reach the 500 hp

thanks

I was running 478 @1.2 bar with water and only 9 degrees advance. This was done on a dyno as a rough tune due to time constraints. I afterwards tuned on the road and set my advance to 11 @1.2 bar and whacked my boost up a bit to 1.4 bar. because this was done on th street I don't know how much power I am producing now. I will performning some more mods and will be back at the dyno in a couple of months. I have no idea how long it will last.
I have some 120+ octane race gas here for when I go back to the dyno and turn the boost up to about 30psi. The drag tracks have just opened in the UK so I exoect the 20psi daily driven to be pretty reliable but I think the 30psi stuff at the drag strip will shorten the life of the engine some what due to wear and tear.
