MAZDA 4ROTER-RE

[SmokinSNYP3R]

The 787 would kill this car! LOL

[LOLWUT612]

@SmokinSNYP3R actualy ,it wouldnt 

[SmokinSNYP3R]

Are Mazda cars the only ones that have Rotary Motors? They invented Rotary Motors as far as i know. I'm not too sure, i just play ALOT of GT5 LOL!

[guerrillaman69]

@SmokinSNYP3R They bought the Wankel rotary from GM who got it from some German guy sometime in the 60s or 70s I think

[gielfransen]

no? NSU developed the engine in the 50's but couldn't get it to work. They opened up the rights for every manufacturer to create and develop the engine. The only one who sucseeded at perfectionising the Rotary Engine was Mazda. other manufacturers like Peugot and Mercedes tried aswell. Even Citroen.

[guerrillaman69]

@gielfransen Oh

[xuser48]

@gielfransen

Actually is was invented by Felix Wankel when he worked for NSU.

[eviltwintheory]

@xuser48 god love the germans

[ghoulunaticzdylan]

@SmokinSNYP3R felix wankel invented it and he was a german but many manyfactures have tried to work with the rotary engine but only mazda succedeed

[SmokinSNYP3R]

@ghoulunaticzdylan Whoa! thanks bro! I just learned something! LOL. U play Gt5? if so add me SmokinSNYPER

[rampageturke]

lol apexseals

[ACMilanAirsofter22]

sorry the 787B sounds MILLION TIMES BETTER THEN THIS

[SonicProvocateur]

@ACMilanAirsofter22 It has twice the horsepower too lol.

[ACMilanAirsofter22]

@SonicProvocateur Ya thats right lol hahah

[MujaRagHeadKillaUK]

@ACMilanAirsofter22 I agree...Although the 787B revs past 9000rpm while this car revs to 7500rpm...

[NLbertNL]

@ACMilanAirsofter22 yeah but it is banned from racing because of the idiotic amounts of horsepower is makes

[ACMilanAirsofter22]

@NLbertNL ino lol crazy eh?

[xExRxIxCxKx]

i came at 0:24

how long did you guys last?

[karateslaginnek]

@xExRxIxCxKx I came directly by looking at it..

[veilside1968]

i would kill for an engine like this in my vw golf mk1:P

[MAZMARTinc]

For those who were wondering; both the 26B and R26B were between $100,000-$120,000 US Dollars when they were available from Mazda. A bargain compared to the engine in the Ferrari 333SP at $250k

[fergus1494]

@MAZMARTinc or somthing around the same spec as the 26b.. with 750hp for 38k i think it is.. from NZ now days.. i think mad mike a drifter uses it.

[MAZMARTinc]

@fergus1494 While I am really glad that the Australian (Or NZ) engine exists, it is a completely different kettle of fish and will not withstand running a 24 hour endurance race. I'd also like to see the dyno sheets on Mad Mike's engine as I have seen dyno numbers on the Mazda built originals.

[CykoNL]

@MAZMARTinc

there is a vid of madmikes quad rotor rx7, I was kinda disappointed as it only produces 515hp

[bleedblack7]

why does it sound so shaky at lower rpm

[kzoney]

@bleedblack7 bridgeporting an engine such as the 26B is has its cons along with their pros...not enough air is the best way to put it. 26B are meant for going not idling. so when you stop giving it gas and air it makes that sound as you say shaky. its with all bridging even with the 13B.

[BlackOpSource]

What happened to it? Eat a drivetrain or something?

[Maxpound]

It is a beautiful sound but it is a fall from the glory of the early 90's.

[DMRH69]

I actually went to this event in 2002 specifically to watch this 4-rotor beast. (cost a fortune from Oz) & it was a crying shame to see it fail after just 5 laps.

[xschitzingigles]

you can buy a four rotor engone from pulse performance for about 20,000

[Decepticon313]

the engine is small and yet powerful, what more can you ask for!

[933064]

Damn that is a beautiful sound

[ddrcore]

you guys are idiots. do some research before talking..

[dtpctc]

tru, there great but, only for racing

frm wut i heard, they have horrible mpg =/

[coopersuperfastguy]

eat shit

[dtpctc]

whats the most boost an r26b can hold? or how much hp/lbs torque it kan hold?

[TankEnMate]

You could run boost on these engines but why would you? There are various quotes going around on the internet claiming that the engine is capable of 930 hp @ 10,500 rpm (N.A. of course). In race trim the engine ran at ~700 hp @ 9,000 rpm. There is a video on youtube showing a R26B turbo producing 1,600 hp; don't know how much boost.

[dtpctc]

hmmm....are those number based on a stock engine? or billet parts?

[ingemarolsson]

tell me where to find a stock 4rotor engine?

[PrescriptionSeven]

have a lot of money, a lot of rotary knowledge and then build one...

you wont find one for sale..but if you ever did, you'd need a lot of money lol.

[ingemarolsson]

there is no "stock" 4rotor engine, all is custom made. thats why i manifest me that way:) hope you understand my english:)

lot of money is damn right! easier to find the knowlege

[PrescriptionSeven]

i never said stock. if you read my comment, i said "build" but people can build one and sell it.

[jpmwilson]

there are a couple of places in New Zealand who make 4 rotor ecentric shafts, thats the only difficult part. everything else can be bought through your mazda dealer

[andavid]

Try stealing one from mazda, those Engines are not for sale nor would you be able to run one legally in a car, these are racing engines, and much to expensive.

[blackycmd]

Hi all!

The wankel engine not banned from le Mans?? Else band only LMP1 Class?

Sorry my band English!

[deggis4]

Wankels are not banned.

[TankEnMate]

No they aren't banned, only severely restricted (to the point that it is almost not worth running them).

[aaron9696024]

whoa wait x1??? i thought you meant each throttle plate was 48.3mm that wouldnt be far off but yeah 48.3 for all for rotors is ouch...

[kameson]

Restrictor is one.

not 48.3×4.

[aaron9696024]

yeah thats definently gonna hurt it still sounds awsome tho. kinda like a 787b at part throttle.

[aaron9696024]

was the intake and exhaust system changed to better suit such a severe resctiction?

[kameson]

yea, it is.

[aaron9696024]

good because if it had the huge r26b stacks all sucking throught one 48mm hole they wouldnt see much velocity..

[RacingFreak85]

@aaron9696024 In Formula Student, some teams are capable of producing upwards of 90hp with a 19mm restrictor on a 600cc, 4 cylinder, motorbike engine..

[999miki]

thats very bad restriction, for LMP2 would be nice unrestricted 3 rotor 13G, with variable intake could produce 520 ps...and lower weight.

[RhodeGeist]

P Ports? Sounds amazing.

[hatamakoto]

only 480 on 4Rotor?

[kameson]

Restrictor: 48.3mm , Power was limited.

[aaron9696024]

48.3mm is still petty big. got any idea how big the throttle bodys were on the r26b in the 787b??

[kameson]

51mm ×2　were on the 13B-periport.

48.3mm×1 is too small to R26B
