What is the rotor covered in? Also are the steel seals hardened?
Buddy of mine has a spare 13b to play around with and we were joking why not strip the coating off the rotor face, MIG in the combustion 'pocket' and then re work it to bump compression. Then go back and coat it.
The goal Diesel Rotary on mazda parts. But then the idea on what seals to use came up, steel obviously, but are the steel ones heat treated? He has access to heat treating , surface plating, and most other tools(mill) needed for this
Are we outta our mind or is it possible, also before I try and CC the combustion chamber to get an idea, anyone know offhand the size?

And i know we are outta our minds, i mean come on, imin mid process of strapping a 10hp brigs&stratton motor(thinking about sprayin it too) to a shopping cart(legally aquired of course) with a seat in the basket and a stearing wheel, will be a great track/car show tool-a-round ride
I know it would have to be balanced. no biggie.
but again are the stock seals heat treated? and the diesel just works on pre-ignition detonation still is bad on a diesel they just work on controlled detonation, like a petrol car. One advantage i see is that a slight increae in power and maybe fuel economy
On average, 1 gallon (3.8 L) of diesel fuel contains approximately 155x106 joules (147,000 BTU), while 1 gallon of gasoline contains 132x106 joules (125,000 BTU)
and unlike boinger diesels, rpm is not a factor due to rotaries design. mmm stupid ideas festering in head.

i like the trolly idea.. i can picture it now smoking up the fat gokart tires on the back as its taking off..
and as for the Diesel engine idea, that would be exciting if it actualy work.. keep the thinking cap on! and the thinking juices flowing

like i posted weight for weight diesel produces more power, and burns a little better. It does have lubrication so i doubt you would have to premix.
And many manufactors make diesel rotaries, I remember seeing online a 3000cubic 6 rotor diesel wankel that made like 2500hp and 3000 ftlbs of trq at a whopping 1500 IIRC
They do make them, i just want to do it outta of mazda components and look at the possiblity of somewhat cheaply making
Mostly i want to reshape the combustion pocket on the rotor face to raise compression for diesel or Alky
If it is I will attempt some 13:1 rotors for my Alky motor going in.
And i would like to know if the steel seals are hardened, if not woulcnt that be great to heat treat the increase detonation resistance

ok food for thought, what is the rotor cast out of?
anyone, and i still havent seen/heard if the steel seals are hardened or not. if so how if known: cryo or heat treated?
