  • this my friends run 787b's rx7 rx8 many many mazda thts y they go zoom zoom

  • Great motor expensive with the apex seals fail though. that cut is real night to have

  • how do those seals on the ends hold up,what are they made out of? how does the pressure not leak out behind or in front of it? i dont understand how these engines work at all lol

  • What the fuck is a cyclinder? You fucking moron.

  • your a moron for not being able to figure out in your damn head that what he meant was a piston engine. and to answer your question, a cylinder is what the piston sits inside. so dont go giving dumbass remarks saying that you already knew that when your the dumbass for asking.

  • No shit, captain obvious. Next time you call me out, try not to seem like a fucking abortion.

  • then why you watching rotary video? :)

  • anyone know how i can make a spare rotor i have...nice and shiny like that?

  • get it chrome plated

  • chrome plated you rekken?

    what kinda of shop would do that

  • love it or hate it, you still have to admire its +9000rpm redline.

    If you don't, then you mind as well punch a baby.

  • @pillsburydoughboy26 actually 10,000rpm redline. Fuji racing actually plans to have a 13K rev limit on their 13B miata. Rotaries like to rev and their design makes them more reliable at high RPM than piston engines, which are likely to shake themselves to peices. The weak point in rotaries are the seals which have gotten drasticly better in the last few years with new materials

  • all respect to the rotary but piston are still the king rb26 twin turbo nuff said

  • Havent spent much time looking at the  2JZ have ya.

    Sorry but the 2j was and is a tougher engine.

    Don't want to insult or offend but it is just a fact.

  • maybe for going in a straight line...not too many people swap the 2JZ for drifting, or any HPDE cause going in a straight line is boring and says nothing about the capabilities of your car...i wont argue with the face that it is a tougher engine though...but i do give props to the rotary being able to put out power such as the 13B REW

  • I know what you mean. My fc has a s5 block with s4 running gear and afew bits and pieces and shes making a healthy 300hp (223kw) atw on only ten pound boost.

  • thats pretty tight. ive seen some s5 blocks with s4 internals. not sure what they were boosting, but for being a nice fc built by a couple a kids in my high school, it had plenty enough power to keep the rear end out and going.

  • Cheers.

    Don't want to flick the switch and go to 13-14psi till I ugrade the I/C.

    It rarely gets above 30c in summer here (alt approx 950mtrs) so intake temps are kept down well and winter it's about -3c to 4c in the mornigs.

    Problem is I just don't have it here and I'm itchin to get it back. should besometime in the next 5-6wks.

  • haha yea, thatd suck. overboost when its too hot and destroy your seals.

  • I know what you mean. I'm more worried about getting a lean out in the cooler temps and, well you can guess the results.

    Had a major lean out on boost once and got a second chance which which is uncommon, but that was the old engine tuned by the jackass shop that worked on the car for the last owner and when it was stripped down you could tell they didn't know how to care for a rotor

    Have a real time A/F ratio meter so I keep an eye on it.

    Hard when you only got one.

  • Haha yea. Ive seen people also run pig rich on rotaries due to losing their engine. but then their spark plugs get all drenched and theyre wondering why the engine is skipping a beat until they find out they were having misfires : / takes time to find the sweet spot on the AFRs. Theres not a lot of people that know how to care for rotaries, like i live in O.C. California and ive only heard of one shop that has a reputation for workin with these.

  • I had mine built by Rotormaster in sydney.

    Joe and the boys do a great job.

    There are plenty of Rotor shops in Australia that know what they are doing but I went with R/M cause Joe builds, tune, and drive's a 6.7 sec rx7 and his low 6 sec (near or over 2000hp) celica. Both full drag cars obviously, but the choice was based on reputation and the ability to tune either a piston or rotor engine to mad power and still be reliable.

  • i wish we had rotary shops like that haha, damnnnnnn. what engine swap did he choose for the celica? thats like a 2JZ madness swap right there. even a properly built and tuned rb26det with a t88 can make serious power. its already a given its a piston engine, cause i havent heard of a rotary ever putting out that much, even a 20B turboed can only put out like 900hp

  • Yeah its a 2j.

    He's got a 20b that howls past 900.

    Rotormaster 20B GT55 1400HP DYNO PULL is the title .lokk it up and you'll be suprised. Theres heaps of stuff from them.

    He also runs Gasmotorsport which is linked (I think( to Titan in the US.

  • OMG!!!!!! triple turbos, huge fuckin intake manifold, that thing is a fucking BEAST, i cant believe those ceramic seals can even hold up to that power. I wonder if he looked into the new apex seals made by Esmeril Racing, made for the rx8, but im sure they can custom make some for the 20B. theyre near impossible to break and will warp, instead of falling apart into pieces fucking up everything, all you need to do is replace the seals if you get a little too much detonation. some crazy alloy.

  • @justinbeez you have not look around on youtube much... there are a lot of 20b making over 1k hp

  • German work at its finest. It took the Japanese to perfect an allready perfect kick ass motor. Rotary head forever, 13b, 750 holly carbs and hot coils make 282 hp. I love to dog mustangs. they never see it coming. 1981 1st gen.1.3 vs 5.O. bring it. Thanks for the cash from all you 289, and up.

  • Ummm... The engine wasn't quite perfected... you know, the whole dragons teeth thing.... at certain RPMs the apex seals chewed up the rotor housings... funny how the Japs were the ones to find a material with the right harmonics to not eat up housings... hmmm

  • whoops, sorry i just realized I was a jackass and read that wrong, my mistake :)

  • Rotary motors are not new tech

  • dude that looks like a radical engine,.

  • cool those are rare them wankles

  • OH MAN LEDS :FAST:
