why does he choose to use an n/a custom built engine? how is it better than a smaller and cheaper 2 or 3 rotor engine with a big turbo? i know it is awesome, but i was just wondering why.
@JeremyPetho If you have to ask, you will never understand. Why drive a ferrari when you could buy a skyline, put a big turbo on it and beat ferrari's?
@JeremyPetho if its for drifting, its possible he didnt want the power jolt from turbo spool to throw off the slide, whereas with the n/a motor, he doesnt have to worry about it, who knows.
@JeremyPetho one, custom built the motor, so u know that its put together right, and two, turbos = more heat, more heat = more likely to overheat, more likely to overheat = mechanical failure, especially on a rotory, turbos on a rotory that are either being raced or drifted are just waiting for disaster...
@JeremyPetho cuz n/a shits on turbo in terms of reponse and power delivery and all that kinda stuff....all the kinda stuff you want for drift/track/etc. Only time it doesn't really matter is drag racing. There is obviously exceptions to this rule but usually only when lots of money is injected (eg. super responsive 1980's F1 turbo engines seemed to have no lag).
Only real reason im saying all this is to further express my hatred for turbo's/lag, as i use a turbo car for drift/track
@JeremyPetho no lag = instant response. plus without the added pressure the apex seals last longer. he can run this motor longer with more reliability. plus the 4 rotor sounds absolutely insane. not to mention his rev range is near unlimited
@JeremyPetho possibly because, for a drift car, a big turbo would be harder to keep on boost and harder to control while drifting vs. the wider and smoother powerband of an NA motor?
@JeremyPetho because with a n/a engine, the hp is instant at a pretty fluent rate at any rpm, a 2 or 3 rotor with big turbo, will take time to spool up,and that will be a problem if he's quickly going on and off the gas, and it will only get hp at a higher rpm, and, if he just putting about half way in the gas, and the turbo spools up, he's gonna have to recorrect because he already had his set amount of hp, and hundreds more just flooded in and made the wheels spin harder.
@airsofter117 Well, I don't know if you could call them "equivalent", though I don't know exactly what you're refering to, but, both a 12 cylinder engine and 4 rotor rotary engine have 12 combustion chambers, if that helps at all.
@bored10159 That's the rage buy price. sticking two 13b's together with home CNC made parts is much cheaper imo. Look at what the homebrew model jet community is doing here on youtube, that make custom jets with Compressor and turbine stages for only a couple of thousand.
It's not so commonly known that GM licensed the rotary from Mazda was considering making the Corvette a mid-engined rotary in the '70s. They created a fiber glass prototype with their own rotary (three rotors I believe), and a steel bodies prototype with 2 rotors. I'm pretty certain the two engines were built by GM so technically, if they still exist, there are two GM rotaries that were meant for two Corvettes. Weird, but true.
woulld you imagine this monster with a supercharger think about it rotary engines are know for their amazing redline shit a superchager would be fucking undrivable lol but by its self it dont need one to whoop some ass Rotary all day!
@supraelite07 Amazing redline? Compared to what? The highest rotary I’ve seen was turbocharged 4 rotor that made 1600HP and rev about 8000RPM. There are any number of 4, 6, and even large 8 cly engines that rev tighter than that, and we haven’t even got into the deep end of the rpm pool, F1. Not saying 8000RPM isn’t a lot, but piston engines can still rev higher than rotary engines.
@Th3Best0ne Rotary has had reliability and longevity problems but it seems like once the aftermarket really got a hold of them these things have improved greatly. I’d say, when you classify a rotary engines displacement in a fair way to a piston engine they make just as much horsepower, a bit less torque, burn more fuel, the engine‘s are lighter for their output and can usually achieve pretty high RPM’s fairly easily. That’s my take on ’em.
you can get 300,000km on the stock 13b with care. Although heavily ported rotary engine's reliability goes right out the window. The reduced strength in the rotor housing can drop their lifetime to 5,000km in extremely tuned applications(see monster port, or J port).
Haha I sure hope that was a typo, there's no way in hell a 4 rotor car would get anywhere near that, considering an rx8 (a 2 rotor car) would be luckkyyyy to even get 24 mpg highway. And you're telling me a 4 rotor engines gets double that? Doesn't make any sense, seems like you'd be lucky to get 15-20 mpg on this.
@tyndago 40-45 MPG? You're joking right? This is a rotary.. 40-45 GPM would be more like it.. - but seriously - guessing on the bsfc - assuming standard gearing - 11-12 mpg highway MAX
@aidanppp ive seen 35-40 with a 3 rotor in a miata. the 26B rotary is supposed to be very gas efficient for what it is as well. And it needed to be since the LeMans races have a fuel limit.
@aidanppp i was in christchurch way bak in the day when his rx7 was snow camo (Lookd way better i rekn) and he said it used a tank in 15 minutes on the track
@aidanppp Actually, the 4 rotor Mazda 26B that raced in and won the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans had used considerably less fuel than the competing piston engined cars in its' class. Though, mind you, it used three spark plugs, versus the usual one or two in Mazda's production rotaries, resulting in much more efficient ignition of the air/ fuel mixture...
@AdMiRaLeDpIeTt 40-45?? not likely man my stock 12a only got like 17.........
rotary's looove fuel....... that 4 rotors prob lucky to get the gas mileage my stock 12a had with the power that motors packing .......... hahahahahaha
Im not sure what a 4 rotor gets, but its sure as hell not 40mph. I dont know where that guy got that idea.
Mine is a two rotor and gets 12.5mph in sixth gear if I behave and do the speed limit. If I get into the throttle, well, the rotary is like a two stroke, and not much different then a turbine jet, It almost constantly sprays fuel. It makes heat, horsepower, and insane RPMs when you dump gas into it. You can watch the gas gauge move while driving. It Drinks like a jet.
@AdMiRaLeDpIeTt ITs very likely that its illegal to ride on street roads, as these produce trucks of power the ussual 4rotor WILL shit over any traditional pushrods engine in performance mpg, this machine like most other 4 rotors will terminate most ferrai's lambo's if not all, don't laugh i'v seen some 4rotors do just under 7secs into 6.## sec 1/4mile
@AdMiRaLeDpIeTt Some 35 years ago mercedes got out the old diesel engine and gave it a polish, they ran the engine in a car (test car i can get some extra info from) at 250kmp/h...... for 64 hours strait on a track, diesel its self has great lastability but requires different combustion style to be honest i cannot say much about what i don't know research is needed lol, but the engine is nothing compared to rotories or 4 rotors.
@X3lfl3X Meanwhile, in the eastern German city of Cottbus, the Wankel Supertec company is working on a common rail diesel version of the Wankel motor and a range of stationary engines for industrial applications. These will run on either diesel, biofuel or kerosene and are set to go into production in 2009, that' last year and almost 2years.
@AdMiRaLeDpIeTt Thanks for introducing more information thats awesome! i also heard a rumor that the Wankel motor has gone intoresearch or rather alternative developers (which i don't know the name of) decided that "it" the motor could also be Rendered possible with/as a water driven but its a possible myth..
@AdMiRaLeDpIeTt Put it this way, when it was originally a 3 rotor setup, he'd get about 5-6 laps out of Pukekohe Raceway here in lil ol' NZ on a full tank. Thats about between 1 and 1:20 min per lap under grip race conditions, with a long sweeper and 3 corners for competition drifting. An extra rotor probably doesn't help those numbers! Still an awesome sounding beast though.
@GreenKoldAid Info is everywhere, its basically a rounded edge cog that rotates in a circle fashion inside an odd shaped housing 1st section of rotation is compression 2nd section of the rotation fuel is pushed into the compressed area as it turns then is combusted in the 3rd turn (this is off my head i forgot to watch the actual format) and then the exuast or burnt fuel is pushed out of the engine, the motor itself is very simple but effective and require's no pushrods etc etc
This was built in New Zealand mate, other country's trying to rob us of success. You american's are just like the aussie's, built by PPRE in New Zealand. But car is stationary in USA and he's got his RX8.

aka demiks ur a crack head boi mad mike whiddetts from new zealand get it right.. he races madbull (the rx7)internationally and he blats his 20b turbz rx8 in in the d1nz back hme in new zealand fool,,, sound like 1 of thm ozzy fools trynr claim evrythng of ourz biarcch!!
@MRROTANGR this car aint from there dam ur a noob it races alot and was build by ozzys yes but for an american owner and only cause at the time there was no american shops that new anything about a 26b cause all they know is a 13b
@akademiks604bc You are a cock aren't you! Built by ozzys for an american?? What shit are you smoking there bro? Are you seriously trying to start an argument on you tube? Its a NZ car, built in NZ for a NZ'er. Get it right next time fool
@akademiks604bc madmike is a new zealand racer, one of the top in the world in their drift category, that car goes all over the world to compete... it is from new zealand.
yeah i know nothing about rotary but i know one 13b can burn tires all on its own and 4 of whatever the hell those are will beat the living piss out of what i drive as well as that internet trolls mom's van or whatever he drives
Why would you want to own 2 extra rotors of failure. I guess you like rebuilding your engine over and over again. Get a piston engine and be much happier.
@aji8 i hate them too. but this one not so much this engine was band from racing because it won way to offten in lamans racing.... its not a engine that brakes. though when it does its gona be killer expensive
@HeavyGhost I see aji8 just cant get over it. I dont believe I have seen someone hate something so much as to spend all this time typing opinions that are not facts. I believe aji8 is just crazy
I would do unspeakable things to own that car. Seriously. Funneling fire ants into my ass would be nothing knowing a quad rotar fd sits in my driveway b/c i can't afford to fill the fuel cell up twice a day.

Why would you want to own 2 extra rotors of failure. I guess you like rebuilding your engine over and over again. Get a piston engine and be much happier.

I bought a 4 rotor E-shaft back when I had my 3rd gen rx7. I will likely build a car around it in the next few years. 4 rotors FtW!

I would do unspeakable things to own that car. Seriously. Funneling fire ants into my ass would be nothing knowing a quad rotar fd sits in my driveway b/c i can't afford to fill the fuel cell up twice a day.

erm no...
i see 4 seperate air-intake filters + 4 seperate butterfly valves + 4 pipes directly leading into the engine.
Any kind of forced aspiration should be installed between the air-filters and the butterfly valves.
This is the real world not your playstation...
