Video, clicky clicky (http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j211/4Zsnow/?action=view&current=running22.flv&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch3)

Just imagine a 125lb, 1300cc all aluminum rotary with electric intake valves for port timing. And say a mear 100lbs of torque at 1800 rpm? Then double everyting on output witha 10psi from a turbo.....................can ya dig????
Testing so far in the sled format:
-300grams of weight
-6500RPM
-miser on fuel and minimal if any smoke (burns two stroke oil, no sump)
-1.6:1 gear case ratio is too short.

Wonder if they'll bring back the rotary motorcycle too?

Wonder if they'll bring back the rotary motorcycle too?
that's very doubtfull. not many of those snowmobiles still running.

Oh, I was under the impression that this was a new rotary snowmobile.

so why did you decide to let them know now Supper?

supper doesn't emphasize the important points

1.3 liter rotary
all aluminum
125 lb. core
electric valve controlled port timing
150-180hp @ 6800 rpms
develops 100 ft/lbs of torque by 1500 rpms
turbocharged @ 10psi : est. 300-400hp.

just imagine if you put that thing in a car. if i dropped it in my 240sx, i'd have to cut off the trunk to maintain 50/50.

Oh, I was under the impression that this was a new rotary snowmobile.It is a new rotary snowmobile, the engine has been under development for a while.

so why did you decide to let them know now Supper?they went public with it a few days ago, figured I might as well share.

and poopz, for a snowmobile it isn't a 125 pound core, its a 125 pound everything. There isn't any transmission on a sled other then the clutches as you can see in the pictures.

So the engine is new... then I think a similar one should be designed for bikes. New rotary motorcycle. Is that idea -that- farfetched?

I demand more information!

They are working on clutching trying to fine tune it.

this thing sounds sexy.

what the heck is up with the intake? its on the bottom? and does that thing spin backwards?

if you watch the videos, it rotates like a normal transverse engine.

Will they be using those front tires in snow and on asphault ?

those are sand tires for testing on the dunes.

notice the skis?

Kinda makes me think of the rotary golfcart I want to build. I think it's gonna need a cage though.
