*off topic here as well* Sorry ScratchNSniff!Likes rotary engines...
*offtopic*thread-steal*. Are rotary engines really the "ultimate" design? I read in a forum about a year ago that they are the most efficient design to date... Just curious... I Could google, but that would be a waste of a thread-jack
The rotary engine is still fairly new in terms of development (compared to the 4-stroke piston engine) despite the years and the cars the engine has been in and still yet has to be perfected...thus the fuel mileage problem, no bottom end torque (which was later solved with a twin-turbo 20B in the Eunos Cosmo JCES which is now discontinued...
), apex seals deterioration, and a s**t load more. The fuel mileage problem was improved slightly in the RX-8 with the use of redesigned exhaust ports (which redlines at 9000 rpm on certain models) with the renesis-13B (Which kind of sucks because it's N/A....) compared to the 13B-REW (Which i think redlines at 8000 rpm) and earlier.The reason they are praised is because of the amount of power they can create despite it's size and weight. And it idles very smooth all the way to the redline and can be taken to redline daily if well taken care of due to the fact it only consists of 3 moving parts (in a 13B, 4 parts in a 20B, and 5 parts in a 26B) compared to a V6 engine. It would take a lot to make a piston-engine rev higher which includes rebuilding the head, the block, bottom end, and the ports, to make a rotary rev higher, all it takes is a new intake pipe to accommodate the increased airflow and making the ports larger, and you've got a formula one sounding machine that goes brap brap brap at idle. My FC has streetport, but it doesn't go brap brap brap (only on a cold start though, steady idle at 1500 rpm when warm) but it redlines at 12 000 rpm. The top end most extreme porting done on a 13B is bridge-port or peripheral-port which reaches 19000 rpm (and idles as high as 5000 rpm)!
If I estimate correctly, it will be a really long ass time before the rotary is perfected, maybe the 20B or even the 26B will be resurrected again in future rotary powered cars from Mazda which I hope will happen.
Here is my dream car <3<3<3<3 One of these 20B twin-turbo powered beasts modified and still driven as a DD
