3 Rotor Top Speed?
Yet another unanswered but sought after question that nobody ever asks.
What is a 3 rotors top speed? As a side question (4 rotor top speed?) Yes i know not a lot of people have 3 rotor setups and even less 4 rotor But this has had to have been documented somewhere right? Thanks in advance guys, I know i'm not the only one that's ever been curious. |
Mach YoMama at least if not Mach OMG.
|
If you think about it top speed is HP, gearing and aerodynamically driven....
To many " depends" to give you a valid answer :) |
Both have an equal top speed if falling in a vacuum.
|
omg...ok ok. given what you know about previous users with 3 rotor setups / average 3 rotor setup yada yada whatever you want to say to make it an average 3 rotor build. What do you think/know the average 3 rotor build could top out at? also taking into account that you pretty much have to swap out the entire transmission with one that can handle the extra hp, theres not many transmissions 3 rotor users have tried. lets take a guess here guys and stop beating around the bush with ifs and whats and blahs, make a guess, give details what you based your guess on.
|
redline in 6th gear will be the same wheel speed no matter what engine is in it as long as the tranny has the same gearing, and the engine has the power to overcome resistance.
|
OP,
There are quite a few intelligent people on this thread trying to tell you that there is no way of guessing on your question. My guess is, not much more that 155 mph (which you can do in a stock 8 with a 6sp MT in 5th gear) You're just likely to get to that speed faster. (accelerate harder) |
Precisely 237.587923 MPH
|
With the stock gearing, an engine turning 9,000 rpm with the 6 speed transmission will top out at 186 mph. The Renesis of course doesn't make enough HP to do that. It will top out at about 150-155 due to aero drag. To go faster, you need more HP and a lower rear gear ratio.
|
plus there is no such thing as an "average" 3 rotor build.
Some 3 rotors are NA. Some have MASSIVE turbos on (see Angel Joel) |
Ask it again:
What's the top speed of a 20b build with W transmission X:Y 5th or 6th gear ratio and a final gear of Z? Tyre diameter being A, Aero Drag being a constant ('nuff pauah to go reach the limiter), rev limiter of C. Well we have some variables lol |
Here's a tangent: How much horsepower would actually be needed with a stock-bodied RX-8 series 1 with stock gearing and stock tire width to get to the redline limited 186mph?
|
Im sorry...that is a pretty badly framed question. Dannobre nailed it
|
*sigh* okay, i know my question was horribly worded, i was hoping someone would work with me here..., lets rephrase and try to salvage this thread.
If you have any details on whoevers 3-4 rotor builds that pertains to this question, please list some details. |
taking aero dynamics/weight and mass aside.
top speed is a calculation of wheel dimention. diff ratio trans ratio and rpm so your answer is very easy to figure out. now throw in weight, rotating mass and aero back into the picture and if you are geared for 400mph... the vehicle will never make it. |
With enough $$$$; Mach ZOMG is even possible
|
move to plaid speed!
|
flat ground or going down a hill?
|
|
i am by all means not even close to a tuner. i can modify one.. but..
how the hell can you tune for a 6 rotor? unless it was in pairs then would be a bit easier just correct for load and timing? i bet even MM would have a hard time? or i could be completely wrong... and its just simple to mirror a tune with an offset for the degree of each rotor. |
Honestly, who cares? Have you even gotten an RX-8 stock to it's top speed? I'd say probably not. So why care about a three rotors top speed?

But, like this thread, neither here nor there. |
i went 152 on open road in wisconsin, kind of dissapointed i didnt try once i had my turbo in. but it sure took a while to get from 130-150

Probably the only non-fanboi in this forum

As for the rest of the cadre that didn't know the answer but couldn't man up to say it, go back to your porn sites. |

Fuck a 3 rotor.

Yes... 147mph...downhill...lol i almost died....:spank:
Almost...what a pity, so close. But, like this thread, neither here nor there.
