Like it says, thinking about going with a single rotor engine in my sled next year, just wondering what everyone thinks the most boost I could throw at it would be.

Worst case, I could still plan on the twin rotor engine, but the cost on that has gone way up compaired to what they were thinking originally.

i have no idea

^ What the fuck? Whats the point of bumping an old thread if you're just going to say "I have no idea"? Eat shit.

Go with an IHI turbo and run around 10psi or so. Whatever the max you can efficiently run is.

i can't see why u couldn't safely do half the boost of what would normally be put into a 2 rotor.

why are you all talking about shit you know nothing about?


poster/bullshitter/dreamer, You have given no facts...well one its a single rotor motor. Thats like asking what an interest rate will be. there are 200 variables on the question.

what "facts" do you have on a single rotor engine, asshole?

my statement is logical, refute it with facts or hit the road

None.

Ok, mark asnwer this one.


I have a single cylinder small engine i want to put in my lawnmower. How much boost can I run?


How can that question be answered? Ony on the internet could it be answered.

Under the assumption that it was half of a 13b (now how you would do this while lopping off the other half is up to you to figure out), it could handle the same boost pressure as the 13b it used to be a part of (because the pressure at the intake ports of each rotor is the same as in the plenum, is the same as right after the turbo discounting tubing losses, throttling losses, bends and whatever else would contribute to head), but would flow half of the volume or mass as the whole 13b. Now, if this generic single rotor engine was from say, an RE-05 (or whatever suzuki's rotary bike was), who knows? If it was from an NSU, who knows? If its home-made, who knows? Its all up to what spec the seals and everything was built to. So in a way YZF is right, but only when making the first assumption

The engine can take the boost and HP, not the detonation.

Just look at Abel's FD.

U know, the 13B that ran 7~ second ET at 200MPH~

800-900RWHP and (according to him when I met him), ran 40-50PSI on alchohol.

They are putting GT38's on em. My name is on the list for one of the Gen3 motors w/ EFI.

that's the comment I don't understand, why would costs increase to run an off-the-shelf two rotor?
it isn't really an off-the-shelf motor. They are taking a motor thats been used in aircraft applications and putting it into snowmobiles. Lots of little stuff to figure out that adds up to increase the cost.

sup-man is no dummy, I'm assuming he understands the limits of a rotary when it comes to mitigating detonation

And you do???

Didn't you blow your engine???
And why did you pop that rotary Mark?

Please tell us your expert diagnosis on how you killed an engine?

I popped an engine once before, because I used a set of bad irons. Port caught the side seal. Pop.

following me to every thread now to talk smack because you got your feelings hurt?

:rolleyes:

You would like to think that wouldn't you..... thats so gay of you :gay2:

it's pretty obvious, fag boy...jonnie is your mentor

stop derailing this thread with your crap

What ever mental paranoid delusion you have...well you better see a shrink...there is no conspiracy here.

And the only smell of crap is coming from you.
Continue with the name calling, it suits you so well.
You are such the model 'Christian'

BTW Hows that poll coming?

:roll:

no one knows who you are because you follow me around in the religion section and never make a memorable post there or anywhere else

are you boasting now?

Again delusional...and isn't this the Automotive section???:blah:

And why do you really what to know who I am? Does it matter?
How gay does that sound that you really want to know?
:gay2:

How is that engine mounted in there?

How is that engine mounted in there?
magic :D

There is a base plate underneath it with a custom bend on it with 6 (IIRC) motor mounts and then it is also bolted into a custom plate on the left hand side (right side in the pic) that is turn bolted solid to the chassis. The guys working on this project figure it increased the rigidity of the chassis by 30% or so doing it this way. They hope it will aid in getting more power to the track.

I think 2.0 would be far awesomer.

But I don't think it's in the cards.

Hey Sup, why not turbo one of those Arctic Cats w/ the wankelz?

That's sthuuuuuper!!!!

How about a turbonetics?? Is it recommended?

There's a guy I met at MRR 07, Dick Lambert, he's a rotary nut. He's got a 3xx cc rotary shifter cart putting down 55 HP. He said boost is soon to come. He's also loaded and a fucking genius. He's the first FD owner I've ever heard of actually just having a spare 13BREW for "just in case."

As far as you question, about the turbo. If the compression is the same as a turbo rotor, it can take the same amount of boost, but would use a much smaller turbo.

smaller turbos are more practical for rapid spoolups anyhow, and require less modification to the fuel delivery system.

i even keep spare msd boxes. I must bea bad ass baller and another first for you

To be rich and old, I suppose. I keep lots of spare things myself, but nothing like that. Usually like condoms and... tire... belts and oil.

my FD is running like a raped ape, even in this hot weather...I think it's still breaking in


Is that good or bad?
