Another awesome video.. Learning as you're learning! Keep em coming my dude!

Im writing this and its my theory on why this is a bad idea (time will tell) obviously but as you said earlier in the video the temperature on the exhaust port is extremely hot on the 13b msp engine having a thin bridge is asking for warping or cracking of said bridge food for thought 💭 i am happy someone is doing it and documenting it on top of that so we can actually know

@Madrxsev

I agree with you and after reading some of the comments and hearing from someone who has done it. It’s not worth the drama. I have also been told that it’s possible to run a bridge port on the other side of the main port. That will involve removing the scraper seals which I’m also not that keen to do. I may just leave it as it is.

good video loving the content.

Also, you have to remember every other rotary engine has pp exhaust right there. It's hot there anyway. I wouldn't imagine any extra heat or anything to crack the iron or warp it any more than normal wear.

@@brayt0n yeah I believe all the wheels have wheel sensors so if I was to unplug them all it should be good to go. Smugs is going to film his rx8 today I hope showing what he did . He has also removed the whole abs unit.

The lower down u go the more the overlapping of in and ex ports, more the overlap less power you'll have in lower rpms, also considering the properties of cast iron at hi temps it'll likely to develop cracks later on especially if you got lots of overlapping of the ports, as they are already known for hi egts

Cheers brother for the plug, and hard, its been bugging me for years ahhaha after someone showed me one they started ahaha,, was thinkn if the bridgeport was done inside so the rota ran over it more rather than the cornerseals etc, but hard there is always away,to make anything happen, p.s i removed all tye abs setup in my rx8,, but just unplug all the stupid plugs, from back off the hubs, and em rear, brakes disconnect ,,but hard still gangsta,massive

Never done it before, but I say it's possible. Fill both rotor housings with High temp JB wild. At the exhaust port. And as far as the Bridge, you should be able to do it on all irons. Exactly the same as long as it has enough meat. And that is from experience.

JB weld is stronger than you think. I have been building rotary engines for like 30 years. And I have used it in some crazy spots. Really hot spots of the engine. Anyways, that's why I said. Fill in the rotor housings. Just make sure you sand down the JB wild as flush as possible. And if I was doing it. I would fill in the exhaust port as well. And I would just Dremel right through the metal And The JB wild for my bridge.

Im loving this build video man ive already watched it like 4..🤔 this will be the 5th time i think haha😅😂 , im feining a oldschool pp exhaust engine cant afford it outright so been hunting out options to devcon the irons an change the housings-exhaust header on my spare engine, a fat bridge and pp intake housing with pp exhaust would be insane but the flange to make that work an lenth on the runners would seem extremely difficult to make letalone fit a stock setup lol people probably think thats crazy idear lol , i tossed up full pp intake an exhaust but man would it be hecktic do im guessing bridgeport stock intake and pp housings is where ill end up going with it 😅🤷‍♂️

@Madrxsev

6 ай бұрын

Either one of those options would be awesome . But yeah running the bridgey intake with pp housings would go mean. Devcon up the renesis exhaust ports . You would need to machine out rotors for a full size 3mm apex as the exhaust port will destroy the small 2mm seals. But would be epic.
