The Funniest Pic EVER!! (so far)

It's true also

[Misthael]

I think it's stupid. I only have 1.146 litres, but you won't see me going slow. It's not all about displacement.

i saw that on a tee shirt once

actually i have heard from numerous sources that calling a rotary a 1.2/1.3 is incorrect. supposedly that measurement is made while considering the rotary to be a two stroke, but really its more like a four, so it should be considered 2.4/2.6 which makes much more sense power-to-displacement wise. or something like that

I dont mean to flame, but i think that is really bad. I mean, i didnt even laugh..... And i bet the tiny displacement of a 13BT even with a slight boost increas will hammer most showroom V8's...

[Misthael]

/\ Tru. Sport Compact Car calls them 2.2 and 2.6. It is 1.146 litres for the 12A though. Not 1.2

Just makes that shirt look dumb when you say 1.1 litres in my car can beat 3.0 litres in your car... And I know it's liers, I'm just in a nritish rally kinda mood.

Each rotor in a rotory engine has a power stroke once for every one rotation of the centric shaft, whereas in a 4-stroke piston engine, each piston has a power stroke ever 2 revolutions of the crankshaft. So a rotory engine is effectively equivalent to a piston engine of twice the size when considering the volume displaced during the power stroke for every rotation of the output shaft.

ya guess what 1.146 rounded is... all displacements are rounded up. the 6 rounds the 4 to 5, 5 rounds up the one to two. in car terms its a 1.2

drz you are right

[S13_Steve]

or u could say my old 1st gen rx7 1.3 liter 300 hp racing inspired engine straight from guam can own any muscle v8 bangn displacing bull crap..... rotary owns

[S13_Steve]

and u also have to come to think that theres only 3 moving parts in the engine

[twcfc3s]

me too...but im 1308cc...and trust me its a reel deel....ahaha but yeah its funny! pfff lol

yeah thats true da reel displacement like the use of fuel its 2.6lt.. kinda weird that why i love RE...its like driving a 9.5k rpm´s skyline..pfff!!

[dae]

wait my 4ag only has 1.6 liters =(

[Glenn]

Gotta say though, that guy is tough. I mean it would take some courage to post that on a forum on which majority of members own sub-2L engines.... Namely Speaking SR20, 4AG and Rotary of course.

[J-BloodAE86]

i own a 2 liter L20b datsun engine in my 510. not sure exactly how many cc though, i think its a bit under true 2 liter.

[Nemesis]

that's the oldest freakin thing in the world....lol

my friend(who drivers a modified Challenger and a Nova) told me a funny qoute one time "My lug nut's have more torque than your honda" Which was true, but he's cool with all calls. i was crackin up for along time with that one though....lol

[RallyGT]

lol, yeah its been on my computer for a while, i just found it and decided to post it. but anyway, what are the litres of? i always wondered that

Lemme see it could take all the 1300hp Pro-Stock cars, the 850hp Winston Cup cars, the thousands of 12 second N/A street cars rumbling around the planet, or all those 427 LS6's that are pushing 600+hp street legal. Dude rotary's can be fast and they're great for road racing but owning ANY V8? Gimme a break. You can get a 5.0 in the 12's for under 10 grand including the cost of the car. Try THAT with a high priced FD.

I'm not flaming it just really irks me when people start talking about the V8 like it's some dark age troglodyte that can't hang. Not every Mustang, Camaro or Corvette has a 600lb 30 year old boat anchor for a motor you know.

[RallyGT]

Yeah, american muscle still own the drag strip.....

[180maniac]

Yeah, i'm with you Tsunami. But all of these cars with the low displacement making high hp are all turbocharged. And a turbocharger really just displaces more air,(i read it stated like that somewhere) so there really is no replacement for displacement. Just there are different ways to get more.

And the 300hp 1.3, how reliable is that thing, you can get 300hp out of a v8 or hell, even 400 and it would probably still be way more reliable than that one. Oh well, just my .02

They are a measure of displacement. Look it up.

I like all kinds of cars and engines and *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*, but if you put 10k into my car it would do a hell of a lot better than 12s. V8 usually implies heavy *Censored**Censored**Censored* car and I'd rather have a tiny car with a rotary. I wouldn't mind having the ATI V8 RWD Ford Focus though. Or is it V6? Anyways. Anything can be good, it's just how much you put into it. But now, because I'm a rotorhead.... Rotary roxorz your boxorz!!!

I still don't know how Rotaries are not reliable. Mine is fine. Maybe I'll find out some day.

You bring up an interesting theory: that is, with a given volume of air taken in, two engines should make about the same power. Like Lemans, the Ferraris and Vettes have about 600hp, yet the Vette has about 60 more cubes. The Vette has a bit more torque though. The torque advantage will usually go to the larger engine, the larger the engine the more work it can do given the same efficiency. Usually the downside of larger displacement comes from increased friction or more rotating mass, but if you play your cards right it's not that big of a loss.

Btw I'm not dissing rotaries at all, for a sports car they're a good motor, with their low cg and lightweight. You can't fault the handling of rotary cars. I'm not rotorhead but from what I know they are kinda finicky: you've really gotta know you're stuff to boost a rotary and keep it alive (as opposed to a 2jz which just eats boost for lunch).

What I'm curious about is that LS1 RX7 it supposedly weighed less than the rotary version (according to what was posted here). But I'd love something like that, can you imagine having all the great JDM CF bodykits and suspension pieces with good old fashioned V8 hp under the hood-not to mentinon the sound. But then again the LS1 looks good in it's home too

alls i know is if i had a 200hp na 4ag in my car i would be damn happy

yea kinda old but still funny
