get him a real engine.:evil_laug or even better. money. how do you know your son's gonna have a rotary engine in his future? |
He makes enough money as it is! But he just bought a genII rx7 and wants to build it before he goes to grad school. He had a 8 before and loved it and now that hes getting back into the rotary scene he wants to do it right.

A book is alright, but the internet has a wider range of informations about the rotary engines. Anyway, i wanted a book about the rotary just to own one for myself.

I know, i'm just saying that a book is okay, but the internet has a wider range of informations...that's all. :dunno: |
Monchie have you read this book. I don't think so. Read it , the author has compiled a treasure trove of info from many top sources along with his own extensive experience. You might gain a lot of info that you won't easily find on the internet
|
One more thing about that book is that the author happens to be a mechanical engineer. I believe he says somewhere that he also owns a rotary......so the guy knows what he's talking about!
However, even though there is some theory here and there, the way he wrote the book is very easy to understand. The part about intake/exhaust is quite impressive in terms of understanding the different theories behind intake/exhaust design as it applies to the rotary. |
