I fukkin hate hatchbacks

u sure? 93-94s i thought were 1.3 tt. not just cuz of 13b. news to me. in any case, still there nice *** cars, id like to see em come back.

turbo 2's are only a single turbo, badass car man got any pics of the rx7 K schutte?

edit: send some pics my way when you take them, i almost bought a 88 with a sbc and 4spd but couldnt get over not having ac heat power steering and a speedo.

according to this, there all 1.3, and 3rd gens were twin turboed

a 1.3 liter 13B engine is 'equivalent' to a 2.6 liter 4 cylinder 4 stroke in terms of power pulses and the capacity of the engine used. Motorsport bodies however apply a 'correction factor' to the rotary's volume anywhere from 1.8 to 3.0

and i think hatch backs are pretty cool, btw

either way, got pics of that beast?

hoping for a good improvement when i drop the other 2 amps in. wayne harris called me the othe day to see if i will be at dbdrag finals. just too far for me. wayne is very nice fellow. we talked for about 20min.

Hey what's up buddy *waves*

going to get some tomorow/monday along with a little video for a few other people who are interested so i'll send them you way too... in my recent F/S thread you can actualy see the engine baye/fender/bumper of the car in the second picture of ym XX-Zeus on page 2 of the thread. It isn't much to look at right now as I am in the middle of some body work, dropping in a new rearend (4.10:1 LSD from a TII) and putting in my new aluminum radiator...

whats going on. i still have not put the amps in.

word i look forward to that vid, im gonan check out that thread to

in case people are interested, I found a little tid-bit explaining the rotary size thing:

Rotarys make high power for their size because of their volumetric efficiency, which is a measure of the volume of air going into the engine divided by the capacity of the engine. (for example a 1.0 liter engine at 100% volumetric efficiency intakes 1.0 liters of air per revolution). Obviously, more air going in means more fuel and thus more power.

Most stock piston engines only have a VE of 50-60%. A stock rotary is about 70%. Peripheral ported rotarys can go over 100% (which means that it is more air than the engine's volume). This phenomemon does not occur in normally aspirated piston engines (except in highly modified race engines). It does occur in turbocharged engines fairly often though.

On the other hand, rotaries use more fuel than a piston engine of the same size. This is due to their poor "thermal efficiency" (which means that more of the fuel is used to heat up the engine than the working gasses within it). This poor thermal efficiency is because of the very long and thin combustion chamber (more surface area thatn the same capacity piston engine).

All production rotarys made by Mazda use two spark plugs per rotor to ensure that as much of the mixture is ignited as possible. In reality the power output of the extra plug is marginal (5% perhaps), however it is mainly used to lower the emmissions from the engine.

However, the Le Man's R26B engine has a third "late trailing" spark plug even higher up the combustion chamber. This, combined with a variable length intake manifold and peripheral porting gives 700 JIS PS from what is effectively two normally aspirated 13B engines (350HP from a non turbo 13B is quite impressive).
