    I was curious about the weight balance on that thing. So its exactly 50/50 with the rotary, nice. I thought it would be more rear weight biased like 51-52% rear. I was able to get my C5Z 50/50 with a battery relocation to the rear, a/c delete, and a few other weight reductions up front like headers and 2 piece rotors. Keep the cool projects coming.

    • @helplmchoking
      @helplmchoking Před 2 lety +4

      Probably would be a little more rear-heavy if it was a 2-rotor or even without the turbo and associated parts. A 2-rotor, especially NA, is a pretty light engine but it's more the small size that's cool. The 3-rotor means a lot of cast iron, more than in a piston engine with a similar footprint, and the turbo setup adds even more. Pretty cool that it balances so well, though

    • @joels6736
      @joels6736 Před 2 lety +2

      @@helplmchoking True. Even the little Evo3 16g on my GSX is pretty hefty for such a little guy and this turbo looks quite a bit bigger. I was looking up fully assembled rotary engine weights not too long ago and it wasn't exactly easy to find information. The aluminum ls6 is pretty light far as v8's go at around 450 lbs. But that rotary sits so far back in the bay I'm still surprised a bit it didn't shift the weight more. Also, it's a 13b 2 rotor not a 20b 3 rotor.

      @@dumb730 It's a pretty serious 13b, but yeah not making the power of a 7 second stick shift car by any means. And it's not a drag car anymore, so the super long gearing and crazy fast (but harsh and definitely not super street friendly) shifting isn't very useful, especially given the rotary wants to rev much, much higher than a turbo big block

Amazing how he's figured out how to fix alot of the rotary flaws. And I know there's alot of people over the years who have been doing this. But he's really growing here. 10 more years of this. And hopefully he will close to being the king. And not just royalty anymore.

    Rob,
    Regarding the rubber oring rings that looked swelled. Dont USE VASELINE on them ! Use something that is more friendly with NBR and VITON. I like to use Toyota OEM brake caliper guide grease. It is pure sytchetic, cost is high, but doesnt swell rubber. Not to say that i am an expert on rotary engine assembly, but deal with that swelled oring stuff pretty often mostly because copper grease used on orings.

    Hi Rob. Ian here from Australia. I've been enjoying your content and have an idea for you to consider. A few years ago now I had a Ford that was running on LPG, which I constructed a Hydrogen generator to run in conjunction with the LPG. This produced a 33% increase in HP at the flywheel or 14% at the back wheels. I always thought that this would work the best with a rotary engine. I had plans to have a bench engine to test it on but Rotary engines were too expensive to get at the time. Mazda themselves had great success running two RX8 cars on Hydrogen. If you'd like to try this then I can explain how I built my generator. It wasn't a browns gas type. I never had any success with them.
