just listen to this!

rotary power! 4 rotor, sounds like a bike lol!

 

[oz_clio]

Sounds great for the 15 secs you actually get to see it lol

 

[Seedy172]

Sound pretty amazing TBH

 

[StevenMc29]

Sounds very much like a bike tbh. Sounds nice though

 

[BIFCAIDS]

its dub'd only jokin sounds sweeeettt

 

[MaLicE]

thats a custom made one off engine, its a 4 rotor, wasnt ever produced in a road car, its got huge peripheral ports and its n/a not turbo... i would love one lol

 

[BIFCAIDS]

id love an RX-7 End of lol

 

[jesus]

Absolutely immense! Reminds me of a supercar too.

 

[Justin]

Do not want! Too high pitched for me TBH

 

[MaLicE]

i love the sound of it propper set up for handling too lol! bet its faster than your lambo aswell lol!

 

[Justin]

Being honest, I don't care. It could be Veyron fast and it still wouldn't interest me anymore than it does!

No need to take offense just because I don't like the noise it makes

 

[Englebert]

Sounds awesome, might be putting one in the Elise next year, its suprising how cheap they are.

 

[Merk]

Lambo not just as high pitched when you rev it no?

 

[MaLicE]

quad rotor?? or a tripple?

what sort of spec and power you looking for?? an elise with a wankel in it would be ALOT of fun!!

 

[gaz44]

Prefer a nice V8.

 

[MaLicE]

why when a wankel is basically a foot square in size and can produce 700bhp easy? its lighter easier to balance the car and revs to 9k easy... they have hardly any enertia and rev up and down quicker than any v8 would...

 

[Alan]

LAWL...actually taking a dig at Juzzy's slit wagon whilst defending a 90's Jap car that sounds like a bike, my my..

 

[Ali]

Sounds Good! BANG!

 

[chris_cup]

thats a lush noise, boggo rotors sounds poo but thats minty, sounds like a straight f1 car

 

[MaLicE]

it wasnt a dig, we werent saying which car could get more slit, i said the rex sounds nice and is prob faster than a lambo... how is that a dig lol...

 

[paul_h172]

Sounds nice!

In terms of sound.

Noise, torque, potential of MUCH more power than any rotary engine. Only downside is stock power per litre is poor and they can be heavy.

think your wrong... that 4 rotor is running 500whp and 500ftlb torque... that N/A too no turbo... mazda also did pretty well in lemans with a 4 rotor... plus there are cars like james wildays who is running the fastest road legal rx7... for something with less power and torque than a v8 he is doing 1/4 miles in less than 10seconds! with only 600bhp from a rotary....

 

[Fred@BTM]

that looks like sweden

 

[MaLicE]

guy is from norway

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm pretty sure thats an old airfield in northern sweden, the metalists use it quite often (gatebil lot)

 

[MaLicE]

yup its a gatebil thing, its an auto x track or something...

keep your godzilla i will still have wankel!

drag strip is obviously about the weight aswell which i mentioned. I admit, I didn't realise the 4 rotor was chucking that out, thats quite impressive tbh. What I meant was that some V8s are perfectly capable of 2000hp+ on road fuel. As a stock motor, for the size of them the power output is poor, and jap wins but ultimately once you start spending the money you'll get more power from a V8. This has been proven so far, the highest tuned supra's and skylines are throwing out 1000-1400hp max, that I've seen anyway. I've never heard of a w**kel hitting much over 600 but never looked into that. I've known big blocks tuned to 1500hp happily and heard of hemi's hitting close to 2000hp! No replacement for displacement

I also think a V8 is the best engine noise in the entire history of the world ever ever ever, closely followed by a V10...

[MaLicE]

there are twin wankels running 700-850bhp easy, there are tripples running 900+ easy and that 4 rotor is running 500whp just ok porting alone no turbo or nothing! stick a big blower on it and they think they will get 1200bhp on pump fuel!

i agree v8's can get HUGE power but at the cost of weight lol, i mean you get can crate big blocks pushing 680bhp out the box...

that 4 rotor sounds like a f1 car lol!

 

[Kneel]

I know, theres always a trade off though tbh. I love jap crap (see my profile lol) but still if I had a choice of engine a V8 would win for raw power everytime. I wont put one in the S13 because I want it to handle but if I just wanted pure straight line speed a crate engine would be straight in there
