So, has anyone tried to "greenerize" their rotary? I was wondering if you could run make it run on one rotor, so you would get better gas mileage. I was thinking of leaving everything the same on the front rotor, but for the rear rotor, unplug the fuel injectors and spark plug wires.

Would it cause any damage to the rear rotor, with no fuel/spark, but still sucking in air? The OMP will still be enabled, so the rotor will still get lubricated. Do you think it will get better gas mileage, or will the power output be so low it would be unusable?


I have a 2nd beater FC I was thinking of trying it on. What do you guys think?

can't believe u'd even consider something like that. if u want a single rotor engine, go but one. a two rotor engine will barely run on one rotor. if u want better gas mileage, get a 4 banger.

How about instead of running on one rotor, alternate between the front and rear rotors. i know a piston engine gets 90 degrees per power stroke, I think rotarys get 270 degrees.

People who can program this into an ECU could make it so it skips every other side of the rotor, and since there are only three sides, it would take two revoulutions of the rotor (or 6 revoulutions of the ecentric shaft)so it whould still be using the sides evenly. You just haveto make sure that you are not sending fuel into the engine when that side gets skipped and have to make sure the other rotor is going through its power stroke when the other is getting skiped.

IDK if this would cause the engine to be jerky, if the power strokes overlap a little bit it should be OK.

it would be like Dodge's displacement on demand that they have on their V8's (ram and magnum I think)

just an idea

buy a HONDA...
