Just a short vid at idle. Just starting to work on the race car again after 6 months of sitting.

 

Sweet sound

Here's mine and a mate's car

Nice I'd put mine up but can't seem to find a camera that will record the sound properly.

 

you gotta love bridgy's

 

Nothing sounds better than a bridgy.

Here's mine when it used to be a street car on first startup. BTW- this is still the same motor untouched internall for three years, that is currently in my car that ran a 11.98 in my sig with stock TII trans. Who says rotary's are not reliable.

Bah... idles too high...

"But Pete, that's a half bridge, it's totally different"

Okay, how about a full-peripheral:

Wow, that p-port was three engines ago... and one of those was in and out three times.

By the way... no matter how cheap or free they are, don't put 40mm throttle bodies on a peripheral port. Just don't. Trust me on this.

 

If you would have read that was a first start up. Maybe if you watched the entire video, the idle was lowered to about 1000rpm's. BTW both videos that you posted have to be without a doubt one of the crappiest idles/engines I have ever heard on a rotary engine. They both sound like lawn mowers.

 

That's what you get when you make the engine daily driving in the city streetable.

And come on. They are lawnmower engines - really crappy power output for the size and horrible efficiency. Piston engines, especially the newer ones on the market, just crap all over rotaries on a torque/displacement or even power/displacement. (Duratecs with 100 ft-lb/liter and 110hp/liter on stock head/cams, and I won't even mention the K-series engines... but where are the 13Bs with 250-260 ft-lb?)

The power/dollar is still in the rotary's favor though, which is why I still play with them. That and the V6/auto trans/7.5 swap that I've been planning always seems to get pushed back a little more after finding more rotary parts...

 

I like my port!! Just pretend the turbo is not there

Music to my ears..... verry nice

 

I can't wait to hear your creation!!!!

 

True that... I cannot wait either...

 

Mine idles slightly high even after warm up (approx 2000rpm). I could change it, but it's a track car anyway. The only time it's idling is for warm up. I would lower the idle to around 1500rpm or less if it was a street driven bridgy.

 

there's a lot of big port idle goodness in here. i can't wait to join the club.

 

I'm debating on home PPing 1.25-1.5" maybe twin 30-35mm TBs

 

OMFG! I <3 This thread. I want to hear a video of a bridge just tearing down the freeway.

 

Well, it's not down the freeway but down a street next to my work. This is the same daily driver as posted in my first video. 12abp.

Just a quick drive down the street a LONG time ago!

I feel so bad about posting turbo vids in the N/A section so here is an N/A video.

don't! you shouldn't ever feel bad about posting video of your car anywhere, at anytime?

 

13B-RX3, What was your idle on that last video?, and what fuel?

 

You little kiss

 

I cant stop watching that video!!! How much power to the wheels? I want my FB to sound like that.

 

I only dynoed the car once a long time ago and it made 195hp to the rear wheels with a conservative tune and full exhaust. In that video I estimate in the 200+ range with the Weber 48. If you click the video in my sig that is the exact same motor but with the carb bored out to 51 and a new exhaust and rearend and tune. I have no idea what I'm putting down but I estimate around 220+. Dyno numbers don't mean much to me as I go by my timeslip.

 

1100ish on 87 octane pump gas

 

what can i say? guilty. i really love his ... ahem ... setup.
