They are designed to burn oil. In fact it is injected into the combustion chambers. They make monster power for their tiny displacement, but emissions are getting more and more difficult to conform to stricter standards.


:werd:

They inject oil at higher RPMs

The rotary just wasn't ever going to be an efficient engine with that long of a combustion facet.

I still love them though ... a good PP or BP job on a 12A or 13B sounds sick.

Here's the King, the 4-rotor 26B in the Mazda 787B

I had a 88 RX7 I tell you the faster one would go to me the better the engine felt. My son has one with the engine built for racing I tell you it can move. To me if Mazda would have left the RX a two door maybe it would have sold better.

He's saying it has a rigid mono-chassis with a 4-rotor engine, and that it'll suck the panties off a Japanese school girl faster than anything.
