Whats the highest hp rotary engine?
 
In 12a or 13b form. Whats the most you have seen? How much with just turbo, no nitrous?

REVHED 02-19-03 04:19 PM

The most available from an n/a twin rotor is around the 370hp mark.

InfiniIIIREX 02-19-03 05:45 PM

Most I've seen with proof (dyno video) was 350ps (about 348rwhp) with an NA P-port 13B-REW with EFi etc, etc. I'm sure more is possible though. With turbo, the most I've seen on video is 710rwhp ala the Scoot T51R FD and who knows what else. Again, I'm sure there has been people who have surpassed that.

my 12a turbo made 726 rwhp last night at 29psi, was going to go to 35 but the fuel pump maxed out!

NYAH! NYAH!He is so brazen, sometimes...:p:

726 HP, amazing. Imagine keeping that to the ground on the streets :)

i remember you posted pictures of the motor before, but i cant find them.. can you post again.. i would love to see

the highest hp rotary I have ever seen was somewhere in the 2300 hp range. Its a 4 rotor periphial port twin turbo. I think they were t87s or something.

3rotor.com is working on something similar.

RotaryMotorDisorter 02-20-03 04:51 PM

82streetracer i like your icon. You got any pics of your engine, i would love to check it out.

MosesX605 02-20-03 05:20 PM

RX-7.com's drag racer pushes in excess of 750 hp, if I'm not mistaken.

RotorMotorDriver 02-20-03 05:49 PM

Heres the link to the 680 HP (now 726) engine: http://www.rotaryshack.com/pages/680.html

And heres a link to the dyno video of the car on the dyno manking 726 HP: http://www.wankelracing.com/movies/Mexico726Pulls.WMV

The sound on the dyno video is messed up cause the car is so damn loud!! Notice everyone is wearing earplugs ;).

In the Uk they have poduced a 6 rotor motor based on 13b components. The output must be substantial!

Little question for Robert(680rwhp12a). If SU carbs suck soooo much, and are nothing compared to webers, why would they put SU's on that 6rotor?

woah, just me, or did that come across a little strongly... haha...

perhaps they were going for cost when they put those on...

REVHED 02-22-03 12:52 AM

How do you know they're SU's?

ioTus 02-22-03 03:48 AM

THat 6 rotor looks recockulous. What would you put that in, a bus? thats about all it would fit in....

MikeLMR 02-22-03 05:10 AM

I bet it would fit in an XJS or an another V12 Jag mmmmmmmmmm 6 rotor E type !

you can tell they are SU's from the dashpot covers sticking up behind the airfilters

RotorMotorDriver 02-22-03 05:29 AM

I think it looks stupid too Geoff, but you gotta admit, in a way its kinda cool :).

Defprun 02-22-03 07:30 AM

Instead of 900hp N/A 6 rotor, you can always stick with 4 rotor, THEY FIT IN JC COSMOS???? 2000hp twin T88s? :drool:

LoL, I was just trying to see what he would say. For some reason, in the thread I started about SU's, Robert seemed like the only one that didn't like them. Everyone else said they would be great, good street drivability, and very easy to tune and rebuild. Just trying to get a reaction out of him. It's easy to tell, first, the air filters on them are ITG, who makes that setup for early Z triple SU carbs. Also, it looks to me like that setup is from hurley rotary, an english company that sells dual SU setups for 2 rotors, and triple SU setups for 3 rotors. It looks like they just put on two of the 3 rotor setups. http://www.hurleyrotary.com/images/TripleCarb.jpg

that 6 rotor would be sweet in a first gen. Anything is possable.

RE Matsuda 02-22-03 11:57 AM

Man that 6-rotor is insane, I'd like to know what they're putting it into. Where did you get the picture djmickyg?
Man that must get the worst gas mileage ever, but still I'd love to hear it.
