First time to run race gas in the RX-3

[yerboogieman]

Did that Honda really think he was going to come close?

[brapboys503]

What do you have the limiter set at, about 8k, 9k?

[caminojasper]

@brapboys503 lol, dude this is a rotary, can be much higher

[brapboys503]

@caminojasper I didn't say that it couldn't, I was asking what the limiter was SET at, not what the engine was governed to. I'm a rotorhead, just take a look at my username.

[GTRwill4everLEAD]

crack , snap , pop

opps , there goes a seal

nice vid man looks real tough in prima

especially with those shoes on

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

nice one!

[shanetomlong]

What a lil' BEAST!

[GordonCalderwood]

if it aint a rotor, it aint a motor

[ManRossDamn]

That's almost as fast as that fail ass 1900+ HP Stupid viper LOL

[MrRotorolla]

nice!

[jesman1985]

rx3??? whattt?? ive never even heard of this car.. is it import only.. any in america? i used to have a mazda mx3 but ive never heard of an rx3..

[mfuji02]

& todays lunch special smoked vtech -_-

[pido5]

sick mate sick

[akademiks604bc]

now way that is a 3 rotor its a 13b

[sirnick556]

Dang that thing hauls

[taylorromeo]

haha thats a sweet hatchback in the second race

[naracermcb1]

sorry ment this for 13btrx3. where did you get the fuel system setup from. and ecu. building a wagon would like simular power

[Raptor13x]

The displacement is correct at 1.3L, but since each rotor fires once per rotation, rather than once every other rotation like a 4-stroke piston engine, it's the equivalent of a 2.6L piston engine. Classifying it with 2.6L piston engines is perfectly fair.

[rotarycorvette1]

@Raptor13x yeah thats what they used for scca racing and such becouse they had to find a way to make it fair but eventually they put them with v8 cars and then they banned them becouse they had no way of knowing what ports they had or what power they where putting down so banned from sports car racing racing but it is a 1.3 liter say what they said displacement never increased only thing that changed where ports never displacement.

[JDMDC211]

each rotor fires 3 times per rotation

[Primos003]

Yes it fires 3 times per rotation of the rotor but he was talking in relation of the e-shaft where it only fires once per rotation.

[ChevellTata]

frikc that other car sukcs man

[chopmop08]

i just got a question, only people who know answer can u use race fuel in a stock motor... ive always wanted to use it im my little sports cars.

[noob5000000]

You could, but there's no point at all. Only reason to use race gas is if you're running tons of boost or a really high compression ratio, both of which I assume a 'stock motor' doesn't have.

[arman757]

omg that thing raped the gears

[vanderzonbv]

omg men a 13b is a 2 rotor.. a 20b a 3 rotor and a 26b is a 4 rotor.. is it so hard to understand?... damz...

[BlanknShip]

the number before the letter stands for the litre 13b mean 1.3ltr 20b means 2.0litre 26b is 2.6litre its then distruibted between the rotors so 1.3ltr split between 2 rotors so 700cc or so per rotor and so on for the 20b n 26b its just the over all ltr of the engine

[KINGSRT4]

9.3?? WaOw.!! too much noise.. -.-

[Whipit8rapture]

it is technicaly a 1.3 when the engine isn't running.

[megundu12]

why is tht rx-3 soo popular in these drag races? or time trial w/e u wana call it lolz

[dan2col]

the civic was still on the line when the rx 3 was half way

[ajluvshannah]

a 13b in a 2.6l haha thats a good one, sweet rx3 though.

[buubised]

xr6uteburnout you really are an idiot

[shmacklepap]

*facepalm*

[Primos003]

So when they say a "20b 3 rotor engine" that's 2.0L per rotor times three rotors for a total of 6.0L... and a "26b 4 rotor engine" is a 10.4L...

You obviously know nothing about rotors or possibly have never even seen an actual rotor.

And please don't use Wikipedia as a source...

[therealpodge]

Why not use wikipedia.....seems like its what you used....lol!!!

[JDMDC211]

no, wrong, 20b is total of 2L, a little over 700cc per rotor.

[Primos003]

I cant find what I wrote in my original post... but It depends on what 20b you (or we...) were talking about, The 20b-REW displaced 1962cc and used rotors that displaced 654cc. But most 20b engines have some amount of custom work done to them so it really depends on the motor. I don't really know that much about this so I don't want to get in an argument... Im just saying what little I know. (And if you could tell me what i wrote in my first post that would be great, I really cant see it lol)

[xr6uteburnout]

a 13b is a 2.6L engine u idiot

[alexcamelia]

u idiot its a 1.3L engine do ur homework ford cupcake lol

[urmumsblowinme]

Yeah you're an idiot I have a 13b it says 1300cc on the ownership papers

[dan2col]

13B is 1.3 on books . But it is usualy insured as 1.8 to 2.0L

[Frostman182]

Don't we all just love insurance companies? That's a crock of shit if I ever did hear it.

[yourmotherrules]

nope. It's insured as 1.3 because on paper and in real life it is a 1.3. You cannot convert the size of a rotary engine to a piston engine because they are different designs. But since it has 2 chambers, ppl say it's double the size. But it's not.

Also, when rotary engines had to go on race teams and the GT series, if it was put in the 1.3 class they would rape every car there. They made excuse so that it can compete with the 2.6litre cars. Read it up.

[TRTC360]

i consider a 13b 2 rotor rotary engine as if it was a 6 cylinder engine because it has 6 points of compression.

[yourmotherrules]

That's what you consider but that's not true at all.

You can't think of it as that because nothing just goes up and down like a piston, all of it is just a rotation.

[rotarycorvette1]

@TRTC360  yet 4 spark plugs?

[TRTC360]

yep.

[naracermcb1]

where did you get the fuel injection system setup from and what did it take. bout to do a 13bt for a little wagon

[aldrairule]

NEVER EVER MESS WITH A ROTARY.....

[Draelren]

I assume based on your screen name you have the 13b in here, not bad for a 1.3L engine. :D

[rey0176]

beautiful car ive always wanted one and i will b4 i die...love the wheels and the primer paint too...

[SlowlyVVeRot]

lol owned

sweet car

who needs looks when you have power?

[Draelren]

Are you kidding? That RX-3 is sexy as hell...

[Firemedic712]

Im pretty sure the honda owner knew his face was about to be eaten sometime right after that RX bounced 11 grand during the burnout.

[winotp5boy]

i,m working on my rx3 keeping them punk ass hondas

[RotaHeaven]

i wonder how long that rotarys gna last. that dude revvs the shit outa that!

[wind0m]

they blow if you granny them. theyre designed to be revved.

[BOLTNUTZ23BABY]

man that is the sickest rx3 ever dude very nice!!

[spawn77x9]

BRAAP BRAAAP BRAAP the sweet sound of undercover speed ASSASINS... NICE car, even in primer gray looks fckn cool. I bet that the Honda owner was like, this piece of shit in primer against my sweet Honda.... just to have a nice view of your tail lights Ha ha.

[dragon123987]

so smal yet so monsteros

[omboriqua]

wat rims are those?

[13BTRX3]

centerline warriors.

[greengaurd]

hey dude do you remember me ......... i talked to you a while back. dude i still have not seen ur rx3 at the sanantonio track holla when ur going.

[greengaurd]

hey dude sry to bother you i dont know if my other coment got in but i was wondering if you could tell me when ur going to the track id really like to com and watch.

[greengaurd]

hey dude it would be really cool if you go this weekend because me and my father are going to go and watch

[dub2nv]

fuk dat looks staunch primerd

[BACKFIREFUR]

SWEET! What part of S,A, you from. Im dwon in S,M,

[adam3176]

Whats ups with the popping and all the High rpm Missfires?

[13BTRX3]

Rev limiter.

[Venom1965]

@adam3176 almost all rotarys do that

[rotorg33k]

well done!!! awesome to see!! proud of you dudes!!

[13BTRX3]

She is going back together as i am typing!!!

[rotorg33k]

my new race setup just got turned over for the first time!! i have candy royal blue marbled rx3 coupe!! was black doing consistant 9.80s now!! we are ready to starting running some wicked numbers.. check my videos!!

[geraldo787b]

man i love it!!

[80aussiepride08]

looks like shit goes like hell nice car brother

[13BTRX3]

Thanks

[ctruman]

sounds like a fucking monster

[sh3lbot]

FUCKED THAT HONDA IN THE ASS TWICE!

[mfuji0001]

fuck yea baby! beat on them vtecs!

[SpideyFan6010]

That Honda got dusted by the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. BUZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZ. Ha Ha

[mfuji0001]

1.3 ROTARYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! XD

[SpideyFan6010]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE as in 13B

[mfuji0001]

A Fucking MEN SPIDEYFAN VETEC GOT FUCKING SPOOKED XD

[XR4turbo]

As a Honda owner....i COMPLETELY agree. I am a rotorhead stuck with pistons for the moment. Its killin me.

[SpideyFan6010]

What kind of Honda? Just but a 13BT in it and you have your self a BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[XR4turbo]

Its in my profile. I'm thinking renesis rather than a turbo motor, not sure though. Eventually it will be a 20b :)

[SpideyFan6010]

RX-8 motors are more gas efficient but other than that they have nothing else to offer. 13BT or a 20B N/A is what I would recommend. The 20B is gonna suck ballz on gas compared to a 13B.

[XR4turbo]

Well I'm getting a bone stock, super clean '84 GSL-SE which will remain stock (except for exhuast) until I can afford to do it right. The 13b-msp appeals to me because of the reliability. 238hp in a car that light would be plenty quick. 9,000rpm isn't to bad either.

[SpideyFan6010]

How much? My car is stil stock as well I might need to replaced the exhaust system to pass emissions though along with the sensors and stuff.

[XR4turbo]

$3200. Its an '84 so technically it only has a couple months left before its emissions exempt, so I will get it inspected, then throw on a header and full 2.5'' exhaust with no cats, but some sort of muffler.

[SpideyFan6010]

Nice.

[fmftrx300ex]

no holding back thts the way to drive!!!!

[blackarubian]

wow is that clutchless gearbox ? thats mean man nice work

[13BTRX3]

It's not clutchless, it is clutch assist. It can be shifted very fast but you still have to use the clutch if you want it to last.

[blackarubian]

so how much for this clutch assist i really need a fast shifter so i can drag and stay street legal... dont want to go with the hks dogshift box ...

[13BTRX3]

You can pick one up for around $4500.

[13837]

How wonderful Wankel rotary engine sound!

[rotanggl]

love it, its got that ruff and tuff look to it we love here in nz and f'n loud to

[aniruddhahar]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

[876portturbo]

GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

[13BTRX3]

Thanks everyone. Wait till she rolls out again this summer.

[7onfire]

fucking rediculous!!!!

[wankelnut]

nice run for a factory stock rebuild!

[letemhang455]

Smee again why did you goan pop your engine dont forget that helmet. That was freakin sweet man cant wait til next spring.

[onlyonthurs]

WOW!! 9 sec!! WOOT!!  congrats bro!

[jamiemckeen]

awesome guys, well done!

[shmacklepap]

Congrats! I left right after you made this pass. Wish I hadn't!
