young and dumb
it has been said that a good machine shop can make anything,
therefore why would it be sooooooo hard to make a larger displacement 2 rotor motor.
larger, wider, housings with larger rotors= higer displacement.
i understand this is VERY complicated task, but while they are at it, they could machine everything from aluminum and save alot of weight.
why has mazda never made a "larger" engine?
ok im done!!!!!!!!!!!

useing all aluminim wouldnt be great as it would lower the thermal efficiency, the rotary already has a low efficentcy, so thats no good at all
it can be done just $$$

With that amount of money you could afford to somehow build a 13b with 600hp you could drive everyday I bet. Probably a bunch of them.

I've had my.. eye on those, for some time now.
Only notice the price tag.... sigh, some day when i'm rich i'll build a turbo engine with a street port of those plates.

i read a book all about the wankel rotary engine, with all of the trouble that wankel went through to make his first engine, and all of the **** NSU went through i dont think anybody will be trying to re-invent the basic concept anytime soon.
it is too bad though that mazda does not sell the 4 rotor engine they won Le Mans with in '91.
