we couldn' get the front pully bolt off, so we phoned our local mazda dealers, spoke to one of the technitions and he just said he hadn't got a clue if it was left or right hand thread as they've never stripped one, and could we send them some pics of it stripped lollol

[Nick]

erm... a rotary ?

pretty obvious. What other engine has a triangle instead of some pistons.

[Stoo]

ermmm 13b mazda rotary engine

or a ****el to be precise

[Riggy]

aye from an rx7 by any chance lol

[Jack]

Do you have a trade account with Castrol? lol

Put it in a Nova :D

[scott.parker]

LMAO

The Swear fillter strikes again!

[bosscav]

indeed a rx7, one of the rotors is totally mullerd, looks like it's sucked in some crap and distroyed the rotor

[Stoo]

i was gonna say i hope ur fitting a new rotor

[bosscav]

needs a too much to warrent repair, new rotor,end plate, cylinder housing and middle plate. cost more than a new engine to fix, we were just investigating what happend, just rebuilt it to send all the parts back

[sr power]

its a wangle

[peester]

ur a wangle

[Saloony]

W4nkle

Ive never had the pleasure of attacking one of them. Looks a corking job to do.

[Dan 130]

^^^^^ lol no it dont it looks **** , are you just replacing the tips or whatever they are called

[Saloony]

I like a challenge.

[bosscav]

theres loads of stupid little bits that easily lost.

[Stoo]

its actually a W4nkel

[Stuart]

a renesis lol

Ive still not got my head round how the funk the crank gets driven.... I geuss its jsut oen of those things an engineer isnt supposed to know or understand (bar some crazy ninja in japoland)

The white bit in the middle is the offset lobe on the crank. I couldnt understand it at first either, but it does make sense after a short while.

[big gra]

some machining to do there!

[craig green]

I've seen 2 of these blow up infront my eyes on the motorway. One was duelling with me at the time. LOL

Maybe he laughed, as I kopped all the smoke! Damnit!

[burgo]

bosscav are you also on sxoc??

[Stoo]

that video makes my face ache, but im slowly getting it

[Lee]

Interesting

So techically its a 3 stroke, BUT there is one combustion stroke for each rotation of the crank, making it uuuber smoooooth.

Id still rather rely on a scooby engine lol

Actually its a 4-stroke, really.

[Stuart]

it follows the 4 stroke principles but obtains 3 stroke power output charateristics

[Lee]

True, it still sucks squashes blows and bangs, but it squashes at the same time as its blowing, at the same time that its sucking lol.

CLever stuff. And i believe the new gen engines (RX8) is a lot more reliable than the old RX7 variant?

[Stuart]

more reliable, yes.... but they drink oil more than your holy blocks!

[mowgli]

The W4nkel was an amazing blind alley in the evolution of the internal combustion engine. It ruined a car company (NSU) & caused lots of big car companies to spend shed loads of dollars on patent licences for the technology. GM were looking at commercial vehicle applications. But in the end, thirst, reliability & the 1970's fuel crisis killed off most interest. Only Mazda & Norton Motorbikes actually made viable ones. I watched Johnny Herbert & Bertrand Gachot win LeMans in 1991 in a 4 rotor mazda prototype. The scream it made was incredible.

[rednova]

they carb up if theyre not thrashed all the time then wen you do give it some it breaks off resulting in fooked engine - remedy = give it some everyday lol

[rednova]

at least you dont need an oil change - just top it up as it never gets more than a month old lol
