ROTARY FOR LIFE

[cyberslick18]

@JD0x0 No, they wouldn't. Do you even know what a 26b motor is? It's a four rotor, literally a one of a kind design, you won't ever find that in a street car (unless you spend $60k and build it yourself), let alone a typical rotary car.

I can't believe you used a four rotor as an example, that's just pants on head retarded. That's like using the brabham b4t46 fan car as an example.

@cyberslick18 they'd have lots of torque, the ones with turbos especially. Sure theyre not big V8's, but look at ANY engine under 2.6L, 2.0L, 1.3L, they wont have groundbreaking torque either. FWIW the 26B proved itself when it beat out Mercedes, BMW, and Audi's 7.2L twin turbo V8's during the 24hr LeMans. Also rotaries should be going in lightweight cars where you dont need alot of torque to get the vehicle moving. And with their extremely high rev limits you can makeup for torque with gearing.

@funn104 Because they shit out seals ever 10k miles and require rebuilds. Rotaries are fun to tinker with, and nothing else. They are loud, have terrible emissions, and are generally lousy motors.

It's exactly like you said, if they were good motors you'd see them everywhere.

[cyberslick18]

@JD0x0 If you took 100 random rotaries making 700hp, maybe 1 or 2 of them would be n/a, the rest of FI with no torque.

[JD0x0]

@cyberslick18 what are you talking about, the 700hp rotaries I know make about 550ft/lbs of torque. And thats naturally aspirated power.

[NISMO7SX]

@funn104 they required extra maintenance, i.e checking the oil level once a week etc, lot of woman and guys can't even keep up with the maintenance of a regular pistons engine, imagine a rotary. they really are great engines, if you own one you will fall in love with them.

@TKDWolf and 12 spark plugs!!! 

[rjhall90]

@funn104 They're tough to meet emissions with.

[funn104]

why are there not many rotary engines on the makes these days i mean if there so good then why don't all cars come with them installed

[cyberslick18]

700 horsepower and 190lbs of torque, runs a 15 second quarter mile.
