Rotaries are amazing!

[87 Turbo II]

Nope you are just like the rest and your un-dieing need to continue to defend rotaries by making long winded post where you repeat the same boring facts over and over again supports my theory.

of course I am going to defend what I own, they get a lot of bad rep from people who have never even touched one. That's so infuriating. I don't know what you drive but a quick look at your previous threads shows you selling a Mustang. Of course it'll piss you off when somebody who has never ever driven a Mustang starts saying that they can't handle for shit. I am not being a dick about it, I don't see how my behavior in this thread further develops a dislike towards rotary owners, I think you are just being close minded, and your twisted mental image of rotary owners as a whole makes you unable to see we don't all suck. No need to come in and just start up drama. If you don't like rotary engines, it's fine, don't own one, and live life.

[G'd[UP]]

lol yea most of us aren't.

[dorin48]

I dont own one..... i just blow the coolant seals out of em'. >_>

This thread is going nowhere really quick.

lol rotary threads never do...

The dichotomy is what's doing it.

LOL yeah just a mustang, thats all I've ever owned...oh and

A vette
4 Subarus
4 240s
1 Supra
1 BMW
......the list is a little over 35 cars deep now....

While I have truly enjoyed watching you get bent out of shape because I don't like rotaries the truth of the matter is......I really don't care about you, rotaries or this thread, I only posted because I enjoy watching you guys get all wound up. Have a nice day....Rotard

Wow someone has no life. I wonder what it's like to be so insecure about yourself you have to go watch people get bent out of shape. Whoever raped you must have gotten really deep. Over 35 cocks deep now I'd say.

LOL, good luck with your little rotary project, anytime you want to bring it out and run for a couple bucks let me know...until then.....


Edit....LOL.....I just realized you are a cone dodger as well.....get a real hobby

[EJ25RUN]

lol yea man..

it was a na 13b in a FB... but it felt so smooth!!!

carb or FI?

I would take a 3 rotor out of one of the old Kudzu cars but other than that you can keep that garbage

Not even one of the Jim Downing ones?

[JITB]

it was FI..

[hadouken]

Have a nice day....Rotard

wow.. that was an original...

what a douche bag...

[gottraction?]

wow what did i step into! well i want to send congrats to JITB on his first rotary drive! im not going to attack the piston person cause to each their own! i have owned everything from a 302 foxbody to a awd dsm and i have a 13b fb in my stable now! its damn sure not the fastest but one of the most amazing cars i have had my hands on! i have had about 13 of these things and have had only one of them blow ( actually it was a coolant seal).

Downing was actually who I was thinking of when I said Kudzu, they know how to get it done when it come to spinning triangles inside of peanuts.

Although Downing does not build his motors. Our owner Rick Engman does. I still love your comment, it was hilarious.

I was actually refering to the early 80's IMSA RX-7. The Kudzu cars are overkill in this case.

Most race car driver/owners don't turn the wrenches themselves.

Downing is the #1 reason Mazda was successful in IMSA racing and it wasn't because he knew how to fix the motor but because he could bring a team together that could. Plus build the chassis, find sponcorship, and drive the car too.

You think Penske, Ginassi, Childress or anyone else worth a damn doesn't use an engine specialist?

[Master Shake]

If you had the rotating assembly balanced out better than the factory does(factory balances the rotors with the counterweights in the flywheel like a wheel on a car, but the front and rear rotors and their respected counterweights aren't balanced for each other across the length of the eccentric shaft, and little things like the mass of the seals and such aren't taken into consideration, it's still good enough for the Rx-8 to hit 9k, but not 11k and up), and ran hardened stationary gears, as long as you could feed it oil and gasoline and cool it down it would keep revving yes. Ceramic seals that wear/weigh less and produce less friction would help too.

so pretty much as long as you could get the engine balanced out good enough and get the proper cooling then it could pretty much rev to the moon?(exaggeration, yes, but i think you get what i'm saying.)

I'm sorry, I did not know I was replying to you. I was just giving him some polite info. Sorry if it offended you somehow.

[Elbow]

LOL I love rotary debates. Die hard rotary owners go ape shit and act like the rotary is some god made motor.

I love rotaries myself, especially at the track, a 400whp rotary is a FAST car, a 400whp V8 isn't as fast. They do put power down differently, I know a LOT of rotary road race guys, all real cool guys and all definitely not rotary fan boys.

[Me86Rob]

the 20bREW in the Eunos Cosmo supposedly makes 300ft/lbs at 1800 RPM. Thats impressive for anything

my wagon used to be rotary powered. I have people tell me all the time that they used to watch it at commerce run 11sec passes and toat the front tires. I wish i owned it then

Well damn I guess your wagon did use to be bad ass.

20B's are bad ass motors, especially in NA form.

[EJ25RUN]

No offense. Just found it misleading.

So you own Tomas' old wagon? That car's been through too many people since he had it.

[Me86Rob]

there are chunks of rubber on both my quarter pannels, and a nice thick lining of it in my rear fender wells too haha

lol yea. hahaha youve seen it run?

[EJ25RUN]

lol yea. hahaha youve seen it run?

Of course.

Me and Tomas used to be good friends when i lived in GA. His son has built some nice cars as well.

It's been many years since he's had it but he's had too many other Rotary Corollas in the mean time.

Does anyone know if he finished the TA72 Celica or sold it?

[Me86Rob]

lucky. I wish i could have seen it run
idk anything about the guy though. so idk about his Celica

No Prob at all. Hopefully we can incorperate a tour of the Downing Facilities during our next Rotary Meet.

i knew something drew me too your wagon... i couldnt put my finger on it..now i know...lol

lol, its the exaust

[collins]

Torque is too important to me to own a rotary

Lol, eraser needs to post his dyno sheet. I think it was what?? 255hp and 247tq? Broad ass powerband and insane power delivery.

at what, 6500rpm?

Everything is amazing in a 1300lb racecar, thats nothing that makes me want a Rotary

You know whats amazing to drive....even better than a rotary I mean....a twin turbo LS1...thats amazing

both valid points

The 1.3L is a bit of a misnomer actually when compared to a standard internal combustion engine. Each rotor face has a displacement of .65L per rotation x 2 rotors = 1.3L per rotation. Now take your .65, and multiple by 6 faces = 3.9L. so by the same way a piston engine is calculated the 13b would actually be a 3.9L engine.

THANK YOU! someone else understands this.

I drove a Turbo2 FC once. Eh, the thing I liked the most of it was popping flames. That was about it.

popping flames is fun, no doubt!

well you'd eventually reach a point where the flywheel and clutch wouldn't be able to take the stress of rotating and they'd shatter, but yes. There is a 3 rotor FC on youtube with a redline of 16K RPM. It's called the MPS Rx-7.

That is one badass FC......

[UpSideDownDesi]

Great motors, i haven't played much with mine since i am planning to keep car to as close to factory condition, but i do plan on getting another one to play with. Some think Rotaries are freaking awesome motors, some think garbage, but same can be said about other motors. Some hate Subaru motors just for the fact it's more dollar per hp compared to evo...does it make it a bad motor? Some hate honda's for no TQ, bad motor? All motors have pro's and cons.

3 rotor, na, built, game over...even better 4 rotor.

[Sunkenkarma]

I miss torque with the 13b = (

[YoshiFD3S]

Rotaries suck..

I would NEVER own one.

Or two...

Or three...

Oh wai...

>_>

[man]

I owned one for a while (5 years) and honestly it was fun but nothing to brag about. But Big Baller, the LS1 comment is pretty unintelligent, not because it's wrong but because that statement could be said about ANY car (except for F-bodys and vettes)
