my revelation
ok ive never said i was a master mechanic, a decent paint and body man ok but not a master mechanic.
i hade a major discovery today.
asuming my rotary motor is 1.2 liters, and running correctly, it should make approx 100 hp right?
if you put this in perspective a normal production 5.0 v8 should produce about 416 hp, which it doesn't come close to making.
therefore the rotary is extremey efficient at making power in its stock form. Although it is cheaper to gain a high hp number in a v8, the power to weight ratio should be a lot less.
someone told me a rotary weighs approx 80lbs
if this is correct, and all my calculations are right, i have gained more respect for these motors in 3 months than i have for anything else in 18 years
this is another reason i love my rex
pls correct me if im wrong on anything.
