  • i wanna see this bitch run...

  • @Tinytacohead that one just made me lol... hahaha

  • @Polybun I respect all engines, but hemi's are big, complicated beasts in comparison, not to mention have been done a bajillion, zillion times. what impresses me about rotaries are the general simplicity/power vs. low amount of moving parts etc.

  • @Tj1056 not at all. Detonation is when the fuel combusts ahead of the flame travel. What you are thinking of is predetonation. Detonation is another problem all together. You end up with multiple flame paths which cause unexpected high pressures. It'll blow head gaskets, it'll lift heads off studs, bend rods, break wrist pins and blow holes clean through the piston. I'ts not something you experience often on gasoline, unless you have very high boost. However, on nitromethane this is common

  • @Polybun detonation is what happens when the fuel ignites before it is suppose to...

  • @Tinytacohead not nearly as much as a hemi and nitro

  • @Tj1056 This car isn't running on gasoline, it's running on nitormethane, which can only detonate. That is it's only method of combustion. It doesn't have a flame path, the spark sets off a shockwave that quickly confligrates the entire fuel/air charge. Think high order high explosive explosion.

  • @Polybun My REW's far from "slow to rev and lazy feeling", nor is my uncles bone stock RX-8.  You've obviously had too much crack.. or maybe you're really aji8, hiding under a different name, cause you got shamed outta that one a few pages back, haha.

  • holy shit.. rotary + nitro, that thing's gotta put out unGodly power!!!

  • @jcadlols Well that's about all they can do. Occasionaly you do see one lift off the hood, but that is usually caused by an explosion in the turbo charger shredding it to pieces.

    The other fatal flaw they have is that while they don't have reciprocating mass, they do still have rotating mass and that rotating mass is fairly significant. That rotor is awfully heavy. That combined with the engines awfully low moment of power makes for a rather slow to rev and lazy feeling engine.
