Now here's a thought - instead of all this bitching about how to measure the capacity of the rotaries, why not have a class just for them? Then we'd see some superb racing.....
@Manoo62 yeah i was thinking that- its all in time, BY the time the rotor hits compression its already intaking. your right.w many engines get bored in racing applications. but you gotta hand it to the rotary for its lightness/power. Godspeed.
@Ryknfjor Not really, you get all 3 sides firing in one complete revolution of the rotor so why wouldnt you count them? I agree you would be hard pushed to find a machine shop that would touch a rotary but how many typical car owners get engines rebored?
@Manoo62 only one side is the compression.. thatd be like saying on a traditional engine when its pulling intake- count that capacity, then compression too, so a 302ci would be a 604ci. i would love to see you bore or stroke a wankel with out completely redesigning the engine, as it isnt so difficult on piston engines. as for machining, no machine shop (that i know of) would. piston engines are like 1+1 easiness in a shop, you have varying convolutes in a wankel, piston engine- just circles
wish i could get my hands on one...

@reknod ?!?!?!The 13b is a 3.9Ltr, Google 'rotary displacement' and look as the first site, paragraph 3.

@Manoo62 So your saying a 13b would actually be 3900cc? Come off it!
