IF you dyno'd more torque than horsepower on an n/a, something's not right. Was the dyno itself working ok? And are you sure your aux ports were opening? I've done before-and-after testing with them open and closed and have seen about a 20 horsepower difference.

 

Not necessarily, cuz yes, they were opening, and yes, the dyno was fine, lol. I was running very rich, even for a rotary (that got me to get the SAFC-II), I also adjusted the timing shortly after that, and it was a little off, so I assumed that's why it was lower than what it could've been. But even so, with the SAFC-II and proper timing, I doubt I would've ever broken 115 with that engine. Not here in the Rocky Mtns, haha.

 

^^^OOFFF TOOOPPPIIIIICCCCC!!!

I pulled in next to this guy at work, he's like, "Phew, what do you run in that thing, diesel?!"

I just laughed...

 

I was at a local fast food joint today and someone that works there saw my headlight cover with the inlet duct, and when i was trying to explain it to him he just couldnt understand what i was getting at. He kept saying why dont all cars have that and why dont run a CAI.

long story short. he just doesnt get it

 

OMG Garden of the GODS is the ****.. i stayed at a hotel not too far from there when i was out on business like 2 years ago. sick place. lots of cool scenery

 

Indeed, one of my favorite shots from about 3 years ago.

 

My best mate is an avid v8 driver.
He won't get in any car unless it's a v8... I have pulled his leg a bit though and he loves my rex

He calls it 'a two cylinder starter motor'

 

I got my 2nd fc a few months ago. And my buddy didn't understand why I was so excited about the car. I tell him it has a rotary in it and it's turbocharged.
Him- okay So what's a rotary
Me- it's the motor it was no pistons and one 3 moving parts
Him- what?
Me- (pulling my phone out going to YouTube and pulling a video on the motor) here watch this

 

I know about rotaries, and I'd say "what" to that too, lol.

And it's 4 moving parts, the counterweight

 

^^ what about the oil pump and chain if you are gonna go that far?

 

^lol

 

don't start on the technical issues of just how many moving parts there are, cuz if you sit down and think about it, there's a bunch more. (side seals, corner seals, apex seals etc.)

 

 

That's awesome

 

I've seen it before, doesn't make it correct. All of the seals I listed sit on springs and I personally would classify them as actively moving parts. Unlike something like the piston rings which are just along for the ride.

 

well if you wanna get all technical about it. seesh.

 

OR you could just say "3 MAJOR moving parts" and call it good.

 

 

my favorite thing about this site is, you're so busy being argumentative that you forget that you're fighting about something you all love...

 

A piston ring is a type of spring itself. Otherwise how would it seal without pressure against the cylinder wall? If a piston ring is just along for the ride, so is an apex seal. Let's just leave it at the fact a reciprocating piston engine has substantially more parts than a rotary engine, despite the actual number.

 

I was going to school to pick up my friend, and she has never seen or heard my car. so here how the conversation went sadly.
Her- hey i thought u said your car was nice
me- Wtf.... it is.
Her- aha um its sounds like some thing is broken in that junk.
me- aha nah my car just has a different engine aha i runs hella smooth
Her- um mk leme drive it then.
me- um........ ight whatever

i get out of car so she can drive herself home and i get in passenger seat. as shes driving home shes like.

Her- WTF. how is it so smooth
me- thats the rotary for you
Her- **** i love it, i want one.
me- aha mhm

5 minutes later im at my house and im like wtf drive to ur house and shes like nah ima just drop you off and borrow the car...... i laughed so hard aha i took my keys out and was like i thought this was a piece of crap aha. "This made my day"

 

fixed

 

 

Piston rings = side & apex seals on our engines. You further reinforce the fact there are 3 major moving parts on our engines.

But hey to stay on topic, Stupid/Funny/Random things said about the FC:

Seals in our engines being considered moving parts.

 

Ahaha hmmm that's mean but it works aha.
