Not too shabby :thumbup: I liked the 3-rotor dyno clip

No. I'm just going by the moronic n00b posts you make every single day. Now stay out of my thread like I said earlier.

On a side note... I'm ashamed to be calling myself a duck squad person if you're in there. again. out of my thread. you got a problem, pm it.

 

hell yeah duck squad member for life! but hey if you don't like me replying then quit replying to my posts i'm just telling you you're a tard

 

I'm not too familar with rotary engines... but it sounds like as he goes up in gears he's going up in RPM's. Like 1st doesn't go above 3k, 2nd doesn't go above 5k etc... why's it sound logrythmic?

 

I'm not familiar with the rotary, myself. I just know the absolute basics. But it does sound like it just gets higher each time, yeah.

 

As for the revs only going to a certain RPM in each gear, that's because they're doing a dyno pull. Usually that's done in either 3rd or 4th gear, so they were short-shifting to keep the revs low enough when it hit 4th gear. Doesn't have anything to do with what kind of motor it is.

 

can always rely on you to set our asses straight
I've never been present at a dyno pull, so I had no idea (obviously). Do you know how reliable the rotary is versus, say a supra motor with the TT?

I've got several months of planning ahead before I can get a new car. So I'm taking my time, and finding out about all my possible choices.

 

The single-turbo rotaries in the '87-'91 RX-7 are finicky, the twin-turbo ones in the '93-'95 are a major pain in the ass. Amazing cars but they need a lot of TLC to stay running right. The Supra on the other hand, is tolerable of a much higher level of abuse at the hands of people with too much cash and not enough tuning.

They're totally different cars though. The RX-7 is a light weight 2-seater sports car, the Supra is a heavy 2+2 GT. There's easily a 700 lb weight difference.

 

was the FD parallel or sequential?

 

I see. I'd need something low maintenence, good looking, reasonably quick. Supras are looking better and better. But they've got too much of a rep with people. My friend has one, and people always expect him to want to race. I really don't need that. maybe an RSX-S :dunno: or a used WRX (I'd want to get it painted, though )

 

The stock FD turbos run as a sequential setup. People sometimes convert them to parallel but generally you need to have upgraded turbos with different spooling characteristics to get a good powerband. The stock sequential setup spools FAST but there's like 70 vacuum lines associated with it, which as you might imagine is a huuuuge pain in the ass to deal with if you get a problem that is traceable back to that general area.

Personally I would want to upgrade to a parallel twin setup instead of the more typical big single setup because it'll spool faster and not have the nasty vacuum lines of the sequential setup.
