Have they done this Barry? without it the software is useless in my opinion. From memory when I asked this they stopped returning my E-Mail.

TFX has a Rotary model. My version is an older model but they support it well.


Can you map out one cycle at 0 to 1080 deg @ say 5000rpm for me? given where the sensor is this wont be possible sadly, to properly instrument this you would need 3 different pressure sensors equidistant machined into the rotor housing surface and all three sensors would need to be collated into each other to form one map. Me personally I don't care much for mathematical models, it would take allot to run proper sensors all over the engine (internal and other wise to get all the real information of what is happening).

Correct, I need two more sensors to read full cycle. One in the exhaust port and on in the intake port (which then can lead to more tests of tuned lengths and overlap pressures).

Still It would be good fun to play with, let us know more when you get to test it mate.
