That's 10 mins of my life I'll never get back. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

 

really you sat there for 10 minutes? I skipped through, im not wasting time like that. Also to the OP if your mindset is that way you and your car are probably better off without each other, let the next person who gets the car enjoy it in the ways you couldnt.

This video will explain all about rotary engines.

 

Better off without each other? Yes, these cars are so lack luster, even boosted. And when they are boosted the exhaust ports are crap and you have to worry about scavenging heat. Not to mention the car weighs so much that doesn’t help when you only have 211whp.

Don’t get me wrong it handles phenomenally; I have made sure of that. But when you’re at a large track, and in a high speed sweeper (~100) on that exit you get passed. People will say horsepower is crap, torque is crap then why are a lot of cars coming out now with 300+hp. you can’t just have one part of the equation and not the other. Sports cars have handling AND power.

I ask one question about the limits of the housing and the engine and I get a bunch of smart ***, I KNOW IT ALL answers, when truth be told most people on here don’t even know how to change their damn clutch....I have only met two other RX8 owners and I just sat there and listened to them make complete ***' out of themselves in front of everyone only to get smashed on in the solo comp.

on the last note, yes I know how a rotary works, I'M A DAMN ENGINEER. I did my research and it is a VERY simple engine. I was just asking for people who have done it. not people who think they know, or know bubbas brother who revs to 13g.

last time I sign into this smartass site, worst forum I have ever been on. BMW isnt even this bad, and they have ********.

 

Not trying to be an *** (although Im guessing that's how I will come across to you), but you might want to be a little more specific in your first question next time. You never mentioned the housing or specifically asking for people who have built a motor personally like that.

Personally I think you got some decent answers, but what do I know

 

hi to all.... my 2005 rx8 hi-power renesis runs like a dream at 10k rpm. i bought it with no rev limiter. only had 38k on the clock...now 42k. Have run at 270 kmph with no effort. love my car. would like to turbo it.

 

Is your engine balanced? Enjoy tearing up your irons and housings with your rotors
