Ah, Mike. You think perhaps you joke about
the 24B. Take a look at the video of this Mazda Concept car With perhaps a
24B in it!!! If the 2 rotor 1600cc is suppose to put out around 250HP the
3 rotor 1600 should blow everything with pistons out of the air (figurative
speaking of course)

Yes, compared to the car installation, even our busiest
aircraft installation looks anemic.
Well, rather than replace my
older 91 13B with a Renesis, I may just wait for the 16B (but, I won't
hold my breath {:>))

Hi
Ed,
Your off list help on the number of studs on the RX-7 throttle
body paid
off. I never could see the fourth nut, but I stuck a
socket and
extension on the fourth corner and it locked on to
something. After
turning it a while, the throttle body came right
off.
I always wondered why people would let the oil injector feed
lines get
brittle and crack without checking them once in a while.
Now I know.
Who the hell could ever find them without a shop
manual. There are
more hoses, wires, and devices attached to that
engine and I don't even
want to know what they are for.
The 1600
cc engine is beautiful, thanks for the pictures. If they put
it
in a car, they will add so much junk that you won't ever see
the
engine.
I like old cars with a few modern improvements, like
electronic
ignition and EFI. This week I started my '74 Suburban
for the first
time in a year. It has electronic ignition, manual
choke, and an
electric fuel pump. After charging the battery
overnight, it started
right up. After 60 miles on the highway it
was running as good as
ever. (That only cost me about 25 bucks
for gas which is why it
hadn't been started for a year.)

Things
been a bit quite of recently. How about a view of the 1600 cc
rotary under development by Mazda. Those aluminum side housing
sure look nice. Rotor is thinner but larger in diameter with a
larger throw on the eccentric shaft for more torque at all rpm.
Saving my pennies.
