Is it me or are some peripheral and side intake ports?
Is it me or are peripheral and side intake ports?
I wonder which design is better:
1) Mazda's design where there are two continuous o-rings on the combustion chamber side as well as the outside of the water jacket.
2) Mother Russia's design where there is a combsution side o-ring but the water channel and oil drains are all separate o-rings. I wonder if it seals better and it it has better water flow?
I bet the low mileage expected of these engines is the substandard allows they're using. They should do what they did when the British let the Russians visit their jet engine factory and the Russians had shoes that picked up all the shavings for later analysis.
Front wheel drive, too?
Is one of those pics showing someone using a Megasquirt?

" In Soviet Russia, rotors spi ........ah hell, whats the point, its all been done before!
Speaking of FWD rotaries, I saw a Civic a few years ago on Youtube with a 12A. I think he did a custom bellhousing adaptor. Not really my cup of tea,but the execution was decent. Now put that in an old Mini or a first gen MR2 and were talking!

don't get excited though, the NSU engines didn't last very long either....
