I have followed the rotary development for a long time. Probably 4 yrs or so on this smaller version. The guys runnin ECMH now removed the carb. version of this same 407cc engine about two years ago. Maybe even three. They are the rotary experts and knew the carb. version would never pass emissions testing. They did the conversion to fuel inj. which included a valve system to control air and fuel. Also built their own ECU. They also did extensive materials testin to create better seals that are on the apex of the engine rotor. The best I have on that is that it's a ceramic blend that shows almost zero wear. Old metal style wore out fast. at that point they were doin endurance testin and lookin for funding. All testin up to now was very positive, was reported and met Cal. standards. Now the engine is in Cal. for official testin. Prior to the applications being filed the official lab is confirming all emission number they came up with in various test runs. That's about it up to today. Test results are slated to be in from the lab within 4 weeks. All of this info comes from company releases which I believe are 100% accurate.
