Well, All my 13B engined cars are visible smoke only, so I couldn\'t comment too much ( but will check with my local MOT guys who like rotaries and get back). Would guess air pump not needed (although it would be interesting to try air shrouded injectors, but that\'s another story).

On a euro 6 port the ports are actuated by manifold vac so agnostic to exhaust. I\'m guessing ditch it.

On my air pump it says "do not remove air pump no oiling" any idea what that is about?
how would shrouding the injectors with air help?
also do you think a Racing Beat header collector will fit a right hand drive car?

I hope someone can shed some light on this coz my girlfriend has offered to pay for the exhaust a a christmas present and would like to order before she changes her mind;)

Air shrouding vastly improves atomisation at low air velocities, so increasing cruise economy. The baskets on 6-port injectors have a similar effect, if passive.

A but like a pressure washer vs a hosepipe. Both actually dispense the same amount of water per unit time but with different effects.

so would i basically need to route the air from the pump over the injectors?
any ideas about my exhaust question?
thanks,

RE: zorst, call rotechniks. They have one on the shelf so should  know if it fits.
