i had nothing to do with this was just reading some boards... stumbled accross this... hehehe the replies that some people have about rotaries are kinda funny

 

repost

 

I guess that this makes a re-reply.


Awesome!!

 

haha, I think some of there remarks towards the movie are funnier than the video itself. heh

 

terrible all together.

 

i think that motor would have lasted a lot longer if they would have had the rad cap on. the only reason it blew is cuz of the heat

 

And thats why I love the 7. What other car do you know of that can be pegged at 9K plus for 7 minutes? awsome.

 

wow.

 

what RETARDS those guys are!!!

 

too bad that video isint really that long
it was duplicated to be longer
there was a huge discussion in the lounge

 

i was wondering about that!

 

Yeah I have watched this and was wondering how an old rotary could last that long at redline.

 

lol

 

acualy.. i know of a 4ag motor. that ran for 1 hour and 15 min with no coolant and no oil.. and still did not die. they put it back in the car and it drives fine. lol

 

hey so its been duped?

how long did it acutaully last for ?

 

if this is the video i think it is, the motor already had a blow rotor, so it want a huge loss. its not like 13b parts are rare.

 

i have the full length video, if anyone wants it, email me. i have the 10 minute version. its 12mb

 

What do mean when you say blown rotor(apex seal??). I've seen a few 13bt's with bad apex seals and it wouldn't rev smoothly like the one in that video. Me and my friend did the same thing to a old starlet turbo back in japan just rev'd it up in the parking lot until the radiator hose blew and the engine died from overheating. We went back ten minutes later and started the engine and it idled like nothing ever happened. BTW it was a EP71 starlet turbo

 

did he use duralube before running it without oil and water. 1.25 hours and still running and driveable? to see it is to believe it.

 

damn ... those dudes bring the word yomptoo to mind , im thinkin their engine wasnt in as bad a shape as they thought ... If only they had left the fugin rad cap on i bet that bitch could have took it hard all day long ... rotories rule the world

 

There was an old Safari van donated to my schools shop. It had one hell of a nasty knock though. Teacher said we could blow it up. The thing lasted 15 sec. We put it on a hoist to find two nice sized holes in the oil pan. On on each side near the front. We think it threw a connecting rod.

I've seen this movie before. Yes the back rotor is blown. As in all apex seals gone. It could run on one rotor, as long as it makes power to rev. It only needs a few hp to rev up. I thought the funniest part was when they found out that the exhaust was on fire. "Dude, your exhaust is on fire!!!!! Get the hose!".

You said the video was duplicated to be longer. How long did the motor last then? I thought this video was awesome. They should have left the radiator cap on and had a giant fan in front of the motor and then tried to see how long it woul last.

The guys and I took bets on a Festiva that had a blown head gasket, we all figured the thing would last a min. or two but after 13 min., it cought on fire and I had to take the jug of water off the gas pedal and douse it with a fire extinguisher(sp). The exhaust got the rear wheel wells on fire and the carpet. So much smoke while it was bouncing off the valve springs that traffic on the road out side our shop was stopping to tell us we had a fire....... as if the screaming pile of **** wasn't enough! If I ever rob a bank my get away car will be a pile of **** Festiva, we couldnt kill it! There is somthing to be said about blowing the crap out of a engine, everyone should try it at least once..... on purpose!
