General information

Hi there. I am currently doing a research on the Wankel's rotary engine and I wonder if any of you could help me out a bit. Move this post to the appropriate section if it's missplaces if you wish.

First of all, sorry for my bad english.

The things I would like to know are quite technical (based on an RX7, I dont know if the rotors are the same within the generations):

- The Width of the rotor, the height, the weight.
- Where is the precise placement of the 2 sparkplugs?
- Width of the internal gearing in a rotor of a RX7 (chose a gen, I have to make an example to calculations with the datas)
- The Width of the base of each dent on that gear
- # of dents
- Width of the gearing on the shaft
- Width of its dents
- # of dents
- In which material these 2 gears are made of
- Material used in the latest rx-7 or rx-8 for the rotor, chamber?
- The diameter of both gears.
- PSI boost of a twin turbo (stock)
- The compression ratio (10.0:1 ?)
- Information on the emissions of the exhaust cycle (% of fuel unburned, etc)

Also, If any of you has some idea of points on the rotary engine that makes it less fuel efficient than a typical 4-stroke engine, please let me know about it.

Also, if you have some technical sites talking about the pieces of rotary engines, let me know about it also.

Thanks ALOT.

PS: You can answer to just what you know.
