Best small rotor "motor" engine I ever owned. Wankel was a smart guy. Things will crucify a red line. Good times. RIP.

@2C00L4UB1TCH Now I know, thanks for being a complete asshole you little whore.

am i the only one that notices this engine is backwards?
-
@meandmyevo only the rotor housings are aluminum, the plates on the ends and in between are iron, the renesis is a 13b, its the same size since the first gen basically, the next gen rotary motor the '16x' will be all aluminum and slightly larger, just info :P

@KLONIME1001 there are single rotor motors everywhere, just not in cars.
-
well i learned something today, i always thought 13b's had three rotors.
either way they still haul ass.
-
@hobotob0 there are never been single rotr cuz it would be to unbalnced
-
i always thought 10a and 12a engines were single rotor, and i'm pretty sure you can get a 26b quad rotor...

it's got one combustion chamber for each rotor, however each rotor has 3 points of detonation.
No, these engines are all small.
the 10a is 1000cc 2 rotor
the 12a is 1200cc 2 rotor
the 13b is 1300cc 2 rotor
the 20b is 2000cc 3 rotor
the 26b is 2600cc 4 rotor.
Yes, you could fit a 26b in a ford probe as well as all the other motors.
