When I run my
13b turbo with no prop to hold it down, it runs at around 2000 rpm,
throttle completly closed, MP around 9.5". It runs too rich because it is
below the bottom line of 10". I would not dare touch the throttle to run
it any faster!

Hi,
Rusty....I do not have a prop installed, as it would blow everything out of the
garage. I have had the engine up to around 4500 rpm at around 1/3 to 1/2
throttle, but that's without the load from a prop. I am hoping to get the
airplane to the airport in the next week or two and install the prop, then see
what kind of run-up rpm's I get. I talked to the guy who sells the new
Mistral rotary engine, and he said that my intake is very similar to what they
were using. They are presently changing it to relocate the injectors very
close to the intake of the engine, however it will still have the wrap-around
intake like we have with the throttlebody on the cold side of the engine.
I have a picture that he sent to me if you are interested. Paul

Paul, I hope you are only
just guessing that the engine was at 1/3 - 1/2 throttle at 4500 rpm &
no load. If running well, the engine should just about destroy
itself at > 10,000 rpm with no load. Did you happen to notice the
manifold pressure? I'd guess that it would be at about the same as
idle (12 - 13 " Hg) with no load.
