RX-8 Rotary Engine

It's actually less vibration, because there is no gap or loose space for it to vibrate in. the rotor is always solidly connected to the eccentric shaft, and always in contact with the cylinder, so there is actually next to no vibration produced. in a piston engine, there is far more vibration due to the rotational mass of the pistons and cranksahft. thats why rotaries have a way higher red line that pistons.

Crazy how all that works together in such a lil package

@thegraveyardboys I hold it to a 1.3 L scale. Call me old fashion in my belief, but the run comapred to a piston engine is not a fair comparison. The rotory is just designed different (3 stroke not 4). Just because the rotor gets 3 total rotations in order to make 1 crank rotation and a piston is 1 to 1 does not mean that the two can ultimately be compared in that manner. This is just me spouting my opinion though.

1:28 you may now kiss the bride lol

@roaringwaterbay hahah probably not, the chances are slim. But its got a ton of potential power for 1.3 L
-
will it last more than 200K miles?

I like this music :)

that was awesome!!

@deaftodd two sparkplugs makes it badass. thats a scientific fact

hi guys...ppl here says...mazda rx-8 is 1.3 but it hit performance up to 2.6 really....why...alll d rx-8 is the same...???? help me please....which mean i pour oil for 1.3 but my car reacts like 2.6 powered engine car...?? example the acceleration....and top speed

i dont understand why it needs two spark plugs.
I don't know why ppl say it's a 2.30 l bcos of the air intake. It should b known as a 1.3 bcoz the size of the engine on a piston is measured by the cubic capacity in the bor of the shroke. The size of this engine should be the cubic capacity when compesion starts. Or am I rong?

The total volume of this engine (1.3 l) comes from the total volume of displacement for the rotary piston. In a cylinder/piston engine, the total volume of the engine, for example 2.0 l, comes from the total transversal area of the piston times the total run of the piston inside the volume times the number os cylinders. In the rotary is the same, one face of the rotor, times the total circular rotation times the number of rotors
