Turbo rotary in Velocity aircraft

First start with turbo installed. There has been no tuning to the MAP table yet. I cranked it over and it started. Forgive the artifacts as this was taken on my old phone. I am not as close to the prop as it seems. Remember, this is before ANY tuning.....just getting an idea of where to start following the turbo install.

The ECU, Engine Monitor and PSRU (prop speed reduction uint) is from Tracy Crook's Real World Solutions.

It is a 2nd gen 13b turbo (2 rotar) block with a mild street port and a T04 turbo from Comp Turbo, a Precission Wastegate and RX-7 intercooler. The intake is a Mistal (a European company developing the rotary for FAA certification).

Looks like you are making progress. Keep with it. If it was easy, it would not be great. Because it is hard, that's what makes it great.

@rtardbox oh, it's the 13b-rew just like the one in my old 95 rx-7 :) 3rd gen fd3s... coolness, total coolness... turbo type? target rpm (again i ask)?

[rtardbox]

i'm jealous --- i want it --- what rpm will the wankel run at at what speed and what altitide... cruise and top end?

my guess - 20,000 feet at 3400 rpm at 240 knots?

is it a 13rew engine from the 3rd gen fd3s rx-7s or a 20b monster?

love it, i'm totally jealous
