displacment

Has any one heard or tryed to increase the dispalment of engine by milling out the 3 convex face on each rotor to say around 2.0L?(would that make it a 20b?) but i think you would have problems with the ECU right?

Just thought might be another way to get more horses with out using a tubo or a 20b 3 rotor?

thanks

that would lower the compression ratio more than it would increase the displacement

That is the only thing that affects compression in a rotary engine. We don't consider the engine any bigger or smaller by doing this. The Renesis rotor castings are too thin to mill them out to a lower compression ratio and retain any strength and you'd most likely lose power doing it anyways.

besides what is this about turbos some people find so scary that they would rather mill rotors and spend money on all kinds of other useless mods.
Turbos are good. It makes driving fun.
