Nice...
Really good history and operating principles.
A 'must read' for newbies.
Let me be the first to mention that module 02-0220 has the exhaust port over by the sparkplugs.....Felix would not be happy!

Its a beautifully well done summary; nice sound clips of the LeMans car! I've been arguing with a co-worker about how to pronounce "Wankle." Now I know. The second two modules start out explaining a simple, elegant engine, and by the time you get to the end of the discussion of the Renesis engines you realize how monstrously complicated it all really is.
So, is this really a 1.3L engine or not? If each rotor does the work of three pistons, then shouldn't it be a 3.9L engine?
Thanks for a nice link.

Ok, so what's the deal with the metering oil pump going through a self-test every 12 ignitions, stepping from min to max? Does this mean that every 12 times you start the car, it is using a good bit more oil to test itself, or is the amount used in the test insignificant compared to the total used while driving? Also, I don't guess there's any way to tell when this is happening, is there?

Awesome! I'm making up some CDs to hand out to people I know who are interested in the rotary. Carry them in your car, and hand them out as gifts to gawking strangers during the Christmas season! :D

It goes through this self test every time the engine is started, not every 12 cycles, it's wrong. The only way to see this is to monitor the data using the dealer's diagnostic tool. If the pump was stuck at zero & it self tested after 12 IG cycles, your engine will be damaged before a CEL came on. The oil used in the self test is slight.

VW coulda had it...
Hey, really cool FR7, thank you!
I haven't gone through the whole thing, but the "how a rotary engine works" animations are excellent! Now I can show my buddy, who drives a Bimmer 635 Csi and 535i, how the rotary works. He was the only person out of over a dozen (including at least one child) who asked "how many cylinders does it have?"
I don't know if it will sink in though. I had to correct him once when he told one of his colleagues his BMW had a V6.
