Who has info on any rotary engine with extremely high recorded rpm? I know F1 cars rev to 20k or something, what is the highest you've heard any rotary revving to? Have some kind of proof though...

dobbles

the highest i can think of is the MPS rx-7.

the tach says 14k but they seem to stop ~10k so I'm not sure.

With pinned, hardend gears in a tear port, saw 11,000. Found out not a good idea to do that very often.

I can do a little under 10k with my bp. i NEVER rev it over 9k.

I shift my Peripheral Port at 11k,only because i don't have a close ratio trans.my engine stops making Power at 9800,but i shift at 11 to keep the engine in the powerband.

pport do you drive that thing on the street here in the Couv?

mikewoodkozar

lol, a p port on the street, i would **** if i saw one

Chedstar

LOL, start shitting, because I have seen it, but yes that was the jist of my question. pport do you drive at PIR then?

My firend frank has his '84 pp'd. he drives it on the street mainly just on the weekends. Its fun as hell. rb headers with a resonator that dumps under the passenger's seat.

Unlike piston engines, rotary can literally have an infinite rpm redline because of the way it revolves if you were in a vacuum like space for example. The highest I have ever heard of a RPM stop was a 6 rotor engine that redlined at 17,000 rpms and there was a video on youtube, I will see if I can try and find it and post.

What the hell? I have no idea what your talking about, but theres a little something called inertia that might disagree with you.

Claren V-nothin

Meh, someone told me this and explained it to me maybe he was full of crap though.

I think it would be wise to disregard any mechanical advice that person gave you...

your buddy must live out in the sticks,a non muffled Peripheral Port is about 120 db at idle,driving one on the street would attract the cops for literally miles away and you would have to wear ear plugs under ear muffs while driving,take it from me,been there,done it.

Chedstar

pport, I though I had the only yellow RX-3SP in Vancouver. Mine is factory Thunderyellow. Engine is bone stock for running in Improved Touring.

i would like to see the dyno sheet of the engine makes power at 10,200,the factory race Peripheral Port stopped making power at 9800
