LOL wtf is that? Thats like nothing. I just wanted to see how small a 1.3L is. I did a ls1 swap on my camaro because my old one got hydro locked. Anyways I just wanted to see the difference. Yeah my camaros engine is a **** ton bigger. That looks like you can actually pick it up. Any others?

Wtf is wrong with you? I am not making fun of it. If thats what you thought. And I wanted a more of a comparison NEXT to something like a person or something so I could get a real idea on how big it is. I love the renesis and how it can draw that much power out of such a tiny thing. I test drove an 8 and I love the **** outta it. Sure it isnt nearly as close to power but it is 100x smoother and better built. A much better overall platform.

The housing in J wind's picture is about 12.5 inches tall, same size as that of the Renesis.

So the rotary engine maKes all its power by going around the combustion? chamber? And thats it? How is it so much harder for piston engines and so easy for rotary engines per litre to make so much power?
