We have a 2006 rx8 rotary engine installed in a modified JD 2 Dyke delta. Initial tests show the engine not making horsepower expected although it runs well. We modified the intake so it would fit under a plane cowling so the regular engine intake which goes over the engine was replaced with a homemade box attached to the standard intake flange cut just after the fuel injector ports. The standard butterfly throttle body was then attached.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Regards
Keith
