I seem to remember reading somewhere that the original Mazda rotary engines suffered from "Acute Rotor Wear" and thats why they were discontinued for a while....They also had trouble making them meet smog regulations as far as I recall... But I always thought it was a cool concept.

Upnygimp, Landshark and Pavanbabut, I certainly see your point and agree with it, a perfect example is the new Cobra which comes factory with high-300 horses (supercharged) and with a pulley, intake and exhaust will easily produce low-mid 400s. A force-induced 4-banger like the EVO, STi or SRT-4 will NOT make in excess of 400 horses with only a boost controller (similar to pulley for supercharger), intake and exhaust.
I guess that the point I was trying to make is that size of the engine alone won't determine the power of the powerplant, since a 2.0l 4-banger like the revised 4G63 that powers the EVO 8 can handle in excess of 500whp on its stock bottom end. Regards, Walter

what i find intresting and sad is micro rotory engines. rotary engines on a microscopic level powered by hydrogen canpower a cell phone for its entire life at a size comparible to a watch batery. they have been experimenting with the application at mit for quite some time. however personaly i feel that the large scale rotary engine in the rx line is largly novelty. eventough the new genoration has made huge hp gains by modifying the placement of the intake exaust ports i dont think its a fiesable large scale application. turbines however are a nother story those things will run forever, are fuel efficent, compatible will most forms of combustible fuels and small enough for a bike powerful enough for a car. MTT makes some nice products as they are willing to put a turbine into anyhting

Actually I'm pretty sure a common misconception is that the 13B rotary engine has an actual displacement of 2.6L according to an article I read in Sport Compact car.
I always wanted an RX-7 with an LS1 engine.... *drool*.... Can you say haulin' ass? Hehehe

Good Choice! Those damn things are fast w/ even just a stock Ls1. I'm putting and LS1/T56 into my 87 Formula 350. W/ a stock LS1 it will run high 12's.

However, many of those Turbo 4 cyl's use N2O for getting up to speed.
The statement 'there is no replacment for displacement' does stand true for Low-End Torque'. Larger V motors do produce more torque...and that moves weight. Personally, I think most are ridiculous. Most don't even work on their cars or even know how. Thinking a huge coffee can exhaust give them power, while the rest of the pipe is 1.5" ? Or putting on a huge wing, that only causes drag...and if it does give downforce, it just pushes the front of the car up - where the drive wheels are ? ...and catches air ? You've got to get both front and rear balanced, then do more then just 'slam' the car, to make it worthwhile in a curve. Why not get a real car with rear wheel drive, that's starts with more HP anyway. Silly Craze that will hopefully die out. |

Rotary engines are by definition 2-cycle engines, so to compare displacement in a rotary with a 4-cycle engine you must double the rotary's displacement, so the 238bhp in the 1.5L RX-8 being compares to the ~230bhp of the EG33 is not 1.5L vs. 3.3L, it's actually 3.0L vs. 3.3L.
Or something to that affect. |
