I think the 787B still sounds a tad bit better. The *brap, brap, brap, brap* of the 787B sounded more ballsy. . . meaner, and the 792P sounded more muted.
rotary engine displacement is measured at the rotor flank, which is like the combustion chamber. How much displacement moves across the rotor flank for one revolution of the e shaft is a rotary engine's legitimate displacement. there are no tricks and loopholes to 'make it equivalent to' another displacement.
if anything, a 13b is equivalent to a 1.3L 2-stroke, 4 cylinder engine.
a 4 cylinder 2 stroke fires 4x per revolution a 2 rotor fires 2x per revolution more closely resembeling the fireing order of a 4 stroke 4 cylinder with power impulses every 180 degrees.
the 4 rotor fires every 90 degrees of revolution... a v8 fires every 90 degrees of revolution a v12 is every 60 degrees of rotation so its kinda nothign like a v12
Still one of my favorite GTP cars. It nice to see this RX-792 P video, I still have the original cutout pieces from the extra front brake vents signed by Pete Halsmer ,from the 1992 race in New Orleans!!! VERY KOOOL!!
I remember watching this thing race in '92. This must be the most beautiful prototype ever made (in close competition with the Jags)

one of my favorite cars at Monterey historics, sounds like a modern F1 car heading down the straight

We need a roadcar of this and the 787b.

@KosaiAvonej tell me about it, it would blow any supercar away and I'm sure it would be the quickest car around the track on Top Gear too :P

dirtay its not a 4 cylinder its a ROTARY. the r26b 4Rotor to be exact

2 rotor fires 6 times per revolution there bud.

wrong-o there pal a eccentric shaft turns 3x per rotor revolution learn how a rotoary works before trying to correct me.
aaron9696024 2 years ago 2
Actually not. It has just one combustion chamber per rotor.
65DDTG 3 years ago
technically yes, but it still detonates three times per revolution of that rotor.
abominableaussieman 3 years ago 3
hmm a rotor has 3 sides... and wait 3 combustion chambers kiddo.

aaron9696024 3 years ago
You do realise that each rotor fires every 33 1/3 degrees of revolution.
Just because there are 4 rotors doesn't mean you divide 360 by 4.
neotees 2 years ago 2
yeah an e shaft turns 3x per rotor revolution so a single rotor fires one time per revolution of the eccentric shaft NOOBS!
