I migth have the opportinity to get a free rotary engine (1.3L) 2-rotor motor. Apex seals are good from what I hear, which is good.
There is exactly one member here that has done this, could you pm me or something....? b |

Nice idea...
Some gotcha's though. 1) Rotary's run hot. I doubt an engine bay radiator would work very well. 2) They need good intake and exhaust to make power. A stock 13b -can- put out from than 220hp (seen the dyno sheets to prove it), but it needs the good stuff. I like rotaries though. Only three moving parts, no valves, no springs. Nice and simple. Will keep making power as long as you can get air in, and exhaust out. As for a teener beating up on an RX-7? Well... The RX7 is hauling around a good deal more weight (like 500 lbs or more), has poor low end torque, and is stuck with a live rear axel. Now... the cool thing is you can make power all the way up to 10,000 rpm. So long as your transmission can take it... Be neat to see though. Put a blower on it and now we're talkin'!
