@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa I know this is a year late but for everyones info the shaft spins 3 times as fast as the rotors. So if you watch the video there was one exhaust pulse, and possibly a second on the other rotor per turn. Thats why higher rpms are possible as the 3:1 ratio allows for it. in the video its spinning backwards too. The ports in the middle plate are the intake and the hole on the outer ring is the exhaust.
@lilaznmage15 HAH no. They are considerably LESS reliable, but boast less moving parts and better power to weight ratio, too bad you have to rebuild them a hell of a lot more often
Wankel rotaries are not true rotary engines, people just call them that because true rotary engines are old and have fallen out of common use. That doesn't make the colloquial use wrong, but like the guy said, "Ii you want to get technical, it's a 'Wankel rotary engine."
A guy who sells performance parts out of japan told me that the rx8 is a 1.3L turbo rotary engine. And that if it was just rotary it would have like 40hp and that it had to be turbo rotary in order to get the 238 horsies. He said its a built in factory turbo. And to increase your HP by 25 or so u can change the factory turbo PSI settings up a few PSI and safely increase your HP from your stock engine. Thoughts? I looked around not sure what to think? thanks guys

This seems less efficient then a regular piston engine. Perhaps sacrificing efficiency for reliability?

Oh yeah I'm gonna go call every single four stroke piston enigne an OTTO engine because some german asshole invtented it.
"Hey that's an awesome OTTO 8 Cylinder engine you have"
Yea, that's how stupid these wankel nazi's sound.

Rotary engines are called Wankel engines because they were invented by Felix Wankel.

That guy is a fuckin idiot, rx8 in japan might be turbo but not here in the US, here they are non turbo and are about 250hp

Nope, non turbo there, as well.
