@diverseent Never said they don't make power... But they're kinda like a 2-stroke. Ungodly fast at times, but sound like a swarm of angry politicians....
@Scumacher2008 so why you say panties under the hood? figured your analogy meant they were weak. well i was looking for a 01-03 carerra to put an 13bREW into. actually found one that get hit from the rear... i considering the swap. should be fast as hell.
@diverseent Not cheap and easy by anymeans. Just, ya know, not quite as "strong" as pistons. And they get bad gas mileage.... Well, I guess in a racecar it doesn't matter unless it's Le mans.... But I have a friend with an FD RX-7 and his motor needs constant and expensive service. Not that I hate the car> I love most Mazdas...
@c1rca101 first off im sure this car can get by quite fine with a smaller spoiler..there are cars twice and thrice as powerful as this little Porsche and they have much smaller wings. its most likely causing more aerodynamic drag and hurting performance versus gaining performance...and it is adding unnecessary additional weight to the car, you could get a spoiler half this size and have just as much or more downforce with a bit of tuning so who's the moron now?
@FyreFox94 Aero dynamic drag all depends on track you are driving on, and only really effects a car on high speeds.
If you are on a track with quite short distances between corners then having more down-force will not effect Aero drag as the car never gets enough speed for the drag to take effect.
But if you are on a track that has longer distances between corners then it pays to carry a little less down-force as the car has the ability to get to higher speeds.
Most of you dont realize the Rotary engine is made by a German... (Wankle, sound Japanese to you?...lol..no) which is why this is totally ok, the japs just took it and made it better, but design is german plain and simple.... Still love my 82first gen and 92 third gen
I'd be willing to bet money this car would destroy most other purpose built track cars porsche or not. Its lighter, easier to rebuild, and a more reliable motor. Also a LOT cheaper if you know what you're doing. Rotary motors are pretty simple and straight forward most people are just too stupid to realize it.
Not a swap I'd choose myself, but how many rotors in this engine? is it a single rotor? I only ask because of the Australian BMW rotary... nothing like stacking rotors for insane speed!
@Vyssockdude1 most porsches are much more then "modest" power. That little 1.3L (possibly) doesn't weight much, and porsches are designed for the track, not a straight line.
@thedominionx i also own a 1980 911 sc weissach, on the dyno it makes 192, i said nothing about straight line acceleration, there a purpose built track car, all im saying is why use a jap motor in a german car
@Vyssockdude1 no affence, but i really dont know whats wrong with what this guys done, just as light as the 4cyl it used to have, now with more response and in some cases more power
@alex325is sadly, Porsche pushed 1500 bhp 917 in qualifying trim, thus rendering your "best of both - Porsche engineering, Mazda power" comment incompetent. If you want best of both you go Porsche engineering - Porsche power. Except for this 912, which recieved a crappy 356 leftover engine at birth
@LFSvidMan u sir are an idiot for not seeing the potential of a mazda wankel engine, have u even looked at the figures they can produce in relation to their size and weight ? plus with the position of the engine in the car a heavy engine at the rear would simply be detrimental to the handeling, rotaries rule man and ure just ignorant
@alex325is You sir are retarded by flat out attacking anyone who shows a sign of not agreeing with you over the internet. If Rotaries would be such a "way forward" we'd see more results than a bunch of people drifting in RX7. Real motorsport results also show 1 win at Le Mans for a rotary vs 16 for the boxer engine. And porsche racers earned their respect by taming the butt heavy 911 models, pussies ofcourse might want an easier handling 911, but not real automotive enthusiasts.
@LFSvidMan Had a look at your channel, seems the only experience you have of driving is in computer games or maybe dreams, what would you know about engines anyway??
That's the best thing about cars like 912's and 914's. They're kinda like the bastard children of Porsche, and nobody really cares if you hack them up. I like it, but I agree with tdblues: Show some engine porn.
@MikkoMuhis First of all, the comment was posted a year ago before Youtube had quote tagging. Second, your post makes zero sense. Please learn English.
it wont last long if u thrash it. rotarys are gud engines if u new a bit a bout cars...
the only reason they stuff up is cause every1 races wif em they do burnouts and they thrash the shit out of themm they can last a long time. for example an elderly person could drive a rota for mor than 10 years with out the engine blowing becuz they wudnt thrash it or make it a bridgy or do enyfin
not entirely. If you DONT thrash a rotary now and then(red line) the carbon builds up on the apex seals which causes them to fail. A regular red line through some gears will prevent this.
thats what people don't understand the rotary(wankel) is a german designed engine, just like other technology in most of these japanese cars started from german engineering
Yes. Japanese engineering is very close to german engineering . They Kind of helped each-other out. Subaru uses Boxer 4 engines. the Boxer engine was partly a German design. The germans loved the boxer because it was and still is the perfect engine. Its perfectly balanced. Wankel sold his first engines to mazda. Old mazda and wankel go back a long ways. Hell, the germans invented the 4-stroke engine. The germans pretty much invented everything automotive.
the subaru i have to disagree, not perfectly balanced i've owned 1 of those horribles things a V5 STI also unreliable. the most well balanced engine from my perspective is the rotary... right though the rev range is smooth with only 6 moving parts opposed to 50 plus in a piston engine.. unless of course it is ported but thats only at idle
The Boxer engine is perfectly balanced. There are No balancing weights anywhere on the engine. Think about it. The cylinders are opposed, canceling each others energy. A V engine is very unstable, an Inline is horribly unstable. Rotaries can be stable but all the momentum is circular, wanting to spin the engine.
i think the concept of the boxer sounds good, low centre of gravity ideal for a rally car, but personally i didn't think my v5 felt balanced well at all (thrashed?). my evo 3 was just as balanced after removing balance shafts (lol) and the after market cams. You're right tho there is no counter weights on the crankshaft or a harmonic balancer
only flywheel balancing like most engines. tho apart from the mistubishi 4g motors which need balance shafts for smoothness
lol i laughed when reading your comment. balance shafts in the crank case is ancient technology, if an engine has them it oviosly needs them the counter act crank rotation, hense the name counter shaft.. by removing them you are promoting all kinds of stress to components and mounts.
wankel didnt sell the first engines to mazda.mazda bought the licence to make them.nsu were the first to use them and also norton made a motorbike with one in it,citroen also hade a rotor model and mercedes had had first quad and triple rotor setup in the late sixties early 70s in the c111 concept car
Nice conversion, too many haters crying at cars being modified. Hope you have a great deal of fun with it. I see a lot of much younger Porsches totally destroyed in road accidents, yours has reacheda grand old age!
no sorry your fucking wrong idiot (evilsinz), the scientists were from germany working FOR germany before they defected to the US... thank you... dumbass, go wiki it and save yourself the embarrassement
You better put some lube on this reply before reading it.
Exactly what part of Germany is "THE MANHATTAN PROJECT" named after?
The "Father of the Atomic Bomb" (Oppenheimer) was born April 22, 1904 in NEW YORK NEW YORK.
The closest relation Germany had to the bomb was from 8 of Max Born's students, assistants and colleagues that left Europe to work on the Manhattan project.
Some German's prediction for fission wasn't dropped on Hiroshima.
Not sure what happened with the thread there, but think I was saying 'Amen' to @HolyFuckinShitBatman : "Doesn't do it for me at all. Everything is wrong about it."
Rotary engines are for Mazdas... this guy ruined a beautiful piece of engineering by doing this to a 911.
Anyone who thinks 911's don't handle, simply can't drive them. Ask Walter Röhrl.
yes...i agree. why? go for an rx7 man :D I understand though...sometimes you just love a certain body style but a diff. engine. however, i'd prefer the rx7 flat out...engine and looks :D
Cool track day special, I see the idea of replacing the large boxer with a little rotary to help prevent understeer. Not a great idea for the road but as a track car its great, good to see someone trying to think outside the square. Are there any vids of it on the track?
"the spcial of this car is, get a mazda rotary engine, as people might older porshce engine are heavey and not very effection, so with light weight rotary engine make up a very good combo in this type of car in my opion"
sounds mean. Roooar.

Nice conversion, too many haters crying at cars being modified. Hope you have a great deal of fun with it. I see a lot of much younger Porsches totally destroyed in road accidents, yours has reacheda grand old age!

You better put some lube on this reply before reading it.
Exactly what part of Germany is "THE MANHATTAN PROJECT" named after?
The "Father of the Atomic Bomb" (Oppenheimer) was born April 22, 1904 in NEW YORK NEW YORK.
The closest relation Germany had to the bomb was from 8 of Max Born's students, assistants and colleagues that left Europe to work on the Manhattan project.
Some German's prediction for fission wasn't dropped on Hiroshima.

Well, in all fairness.. the rotary is a much more effect killing device. those Nuclear bombs are no match for the pollution and car accidents.

Not sure what happened with the thread there, but think I was saying 'Amen' to @HolyFuckinShitBatman : "Doesn't do it for me at all. Everything is wrong about it."
Rotary engines are for Mazdas... this guy ruined a beautiful piece of engineering by doing this to a 911.
Anyone who thinks 911's don't handle, simply can't drive them. Ask Walter Röhrl.

Cool track day special, I see the idea of replacing the large boxer with a little rotary to help prevent understeer. Not a great idea for the road but as a track car its great, good to see someone trying to think outside the square. Are there any vids of it on the track?

"the spcial of this car is, get a mazda rotary engine, as people might older porshce engine are heavey and not very effection, so with light weight rotary engine make up a very good combo in this type of car in my opion"

Rotary engines are in fact not as efficient.
The Porsche motors are not heavy.
