RX7 stuff.

[su_maverick]

yeah yeah, your forgot the RX-3....but thats not the point, its just that no other company produces them, and they arent mass production. So, joe schmo mechanic has no idea how to work on them unless he wants to specialize.

It depends on the application. The 13B-REW TT set up will prolly only last about 110k at max and that is with pampering. A hard driven FD will last around 60-80k. Mine is in the shop for its first rebuild as we speak and it is at 81k. Best things to do are cooling and air flow to make it last longer. And if you rebuild, get the 3mm apex seals. IMO

just wanted to add with more air flow you must add more fuel as well.

[su_maverick]

covered that on the last page . But its nice to know another owner out there knows this.

[GoukiS14]

yeap yeap.... more fuel = flames out the exhaust hahaha unless of course u tune it right ;D

[su_maverick]

Cool, maybe I can be the next FD in F&F3 .

[GoukiS14]

hahaha good luck.... it's supposedly gonna be in japan.... so hopefully they get some nice looking cars in there not some painted stock mobiles

[su_maverick]

oh geez...I was kidding. I guess this time they are going to take a stock RX-8 and have it beat a R34. sigh.....

[blargonator]

why would they have to disgrace the skyline like that. i am not saying the RX-8 sucks, its just that they are on different levels. like comparing a festiva to a supra. one is economy and one is just great. but would revving the engine till it heats up solve the flooding problem?

[su_maverick]

again,joking. The reason I stated that is that they had a eclipse spyder going against a hemi. They are clueless

6??? no such thing

they came in R100, rx2, rx3, rx4, rx5, rx7, rx8, cosmo, and a few other obscure things, but these are the common ones

cheers

for all i know rotary engines are more efficient cuz uses less parts than a piston engine.

[EP13B]

also in regards to flooding

if you run a aftermarket computer, you shouldnt have a prob, also mazda built-in a system that works like a carby set up, if it floods hold you foot flat to the floor and it should clear, just hope ya battery is up to it

if ya want answers go to www.ausrotary.com

there are plently of guys there that really know there stuff, right down to what series has what thread on bolts etc.

cheers

[blargonator]

Mmmmmmm, cosmo...three rotor engine

[blargonator]

are there any simple books on rotary engines? for me "rotary engines explained in three pictures" something like that.
