quick QnA.. modding a rotary engine.. is that the same as anything else?? open up the exhaust, get more air in?? cause they don't have pistons do they? Im all confused as to how they work. I read up on it a bit, but didn't seem to sink in too much. lol, quick over view??? that'd be great. </P>


oh, and the SpecV.. awesome.. you should go test drive one. its fun to smoke ricers in a 4-door!</P>

 

Rotary's....kinda like modding any other engine. You can do port jobs that open up the intake and exhaust ports. The only difference is that since the ports are on the side and run on a verticle plane, the size and shape are what determines the power range. I'm not asolutely sure on how the shape affects the car, but i do know it's somewhat important. You can elongate the port shape or make it wider and that will affect the rev range and power bands and things like that. The size, i'm thinking is like how a piston engine works, make it too big and it flows good up top but not too god down low. I'm no expert on it, but i know some. I'd think that because they're such good high revver's, they can utilize a lot of big turbo's to their full potential. My buddy's rx7 is now being modified, he's already got a Racing Beat Exhaust system and he's gonna try the 13bt swap soon. But sitting in his car is crazy.He used to drive a mustang, so he always shifts at like 5k. I told him to open it up in third gear on the highway, and he was so amazed. So was I, those things rev to forever. The NA rotary's are great, just like a bike. There's a SpecV around here for about $13,5 and i'm tempted...<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

 

Anybody have any good kills lately? Wanna hear something that kindof made me sick? My best bud in a civic si smoked an 04 evo....literately killed him....i like honda and everything but come on?????i was with him when he did it so i know hes not lieing or anything. next weekend we are gonna line em up if yeah kno what i mean?

 

Either the guy with the Evo sucks at driving or the guy with the civic has quite a car.......<IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0"></P>

 

that SI must be modded x10 cause there is no F'n way, even if the kid doesn't know how to drive. its got almost 100+ HP and Torque on that civic.. I'll believe you since you were there, but .... that "child" in the evo doesn't deserve that car. anways..91, what year is that specV? if you need another car DO IT! they are tons of fun, and I've been on a few nisson forums, and just intake, exhaust and headers will put you almost at 200hp (crank) but thats a s**t ton, and just think what happens with a turbo kit? DAMN!... </P>


oh, still waiting for my damn rear bumper.. I ordered from extremedimensions 3 weeks ago and I still don't have it.. anyone else have troubles with kits not fitting and having to send them back for new pieces? cause My car has been in the shop since october getting the new Bomex kit, and I've not only had to return an entire kit, but now a rear bumper too.. what a pain</P>

 

BurntGSX- I couldnt believe it. he killed em, he has a good bit done to that car though. he wants a shot at my eclipse and im gonna give it to him this weekend at southwebster dragstrip. On my eclipse i have a "drift kit". i paid 650 for it. Are you the one asking about the Z3 fenders?</P>

 

no, its the full bomex kit. I've had so much trouble with the pieces not fitting the car what-so-ever. and the company says to "form" it.. f**k THAT. Im not paying my body guy to MAKE the kit for me, just install and paint. what a pain in my ***.. I haven't driven my eclipse for 6 months.. and i've only had it since last april

 

this past friday i was on sunrise hwy here on long island headed back home , i knew that i was near a racing spot, suddenly i see a s**t load of riced out hondas winding their exhausts coming onto the hwy off the on ramp . I was with my friend who loves hondas , i was on the last inner lanepassing them , suddenly i here yannngggg eryanngggggggg shtsssh,(bless you lolll) thenmy friend rolls down the window , he knew the guy he says whats up and rolls the window back up. he tells me that its a 98 sohc vtec turbo , i laughed because the guy used a garrett t28 , which is a good *** turbo dont get me wrong but to much for that crx , he wont be able to feel the turbo all the way even if he has vtec. so as he rides along he revss it taps thegas time to time , idwon shifted to 4th like within 2 seconds of me down shifting he gunned it so did i . it only takes me about half a sec to be infront of him by one car lenth then when i looked back in about 5500 rpm in 5th i was a good 2 street blocks ahead of him. i let it rev back down until im doing about 85 mph , then he finally catches up and was still gunning it , i didnt waste time so i didnt go after him. nothing big but hey its like the only race ive had in about a month.

 

<FONT size=1>Nice going T78, That single slammer d16(or d17, whatever) probably can't even spool the turbo till 5k. Hey 91eclipse, i'll take a shot at that EVO, might as well get that kill under my belt<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">. Burnt, I always hear about knock-off kits not fitting right, but sounds like you really got shafted. I got a good kill to tell you guys about. A highway race between me and a Supercharged GrandPrix! I can't believe i took him out, but it was a good race. I was justspeeding up i-275 and the GrandPrix was in the fast lane. As i pass him, i didn't even think he would come after me. I was goin bout 75-80 and he was just cruising at 60 or so. I'm about two car lengths ahead of him and i guess he just guns it and is almost right next to me. He gets up next to me and looks over at me and then just floors it again and goes in front of me. Now at first i'm like, i can't win this but i might as well see if i can keep up with him. I downshift to third(Spyderman don't try this, i got the Head conversion and turbo ecu!) Well, i'm right up on him and i'm not accelerating very fast since i've passed my max hp point a long time ago. I shift to 4th and i'm in my powerband again. I'm still right behind him, but now my car is really starting to go...i mean really go. I end up going into the fast lane and i'm closing in on him, then i pass him, slowly, but i pass him. I'm going around 140 now(glad i got the GSX ecu instead of the GST<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">) and i'm already ahead of him by about a car length. I don't know if i should shift to fifth or not, because i still have a ways to go in fourth. Then grandprix starts to brake and slow down, and so do i. I shift to fifth and start cruising at around 65mph. The guy doesn't really acknoledge me, he just looks over and then looks straight ahead again. I'm just glad i could beat him....i don't want any recognition. But my mods are really paying off now. can see why i beat him now though, The grandprix's came with a 3.8l supercharged v6with 240hp and 280lbs torque.....but also with an automatic transmission. It redlines at like 6Krpm too. So i can see how i'd win now. Hey, i know he can take me at redlights, but atleast i OWN the Highway. HAHAHHAAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!</FONT></P>
