Thanks Richard,
I guess when I got interested in the rotary
(around 1991) the 13B was in full swing and the 12A was fading away - so I just
assumed that the 12A was the older/smaller engine. You live and learn (if
you live).

The first rotary I took apart was a 13B out from
a '74 wagon. I still have some parts of it laying around.

So True, Bob. One reason while
I may be panting in anticipation (I will not be holding my breath
{:>)). Interesting, I had always thought the 12A had long preceded
the 13B so far as used in Mazda vehicles.

Dont count on that. In 1979 the RX7 came out with the 12A.
Mazda told us (Mazda dealers) at that time we would never see a 13B again.
Then in 84 we see the 13B again and in 86 the 12A was gone. I know for a
fact, as a Mazda dealer, that Mazda or any other manufacturer never really
knows where the market will take them.

Ed, Cool
video. Love that sound! Too bad the 3-rotor will likely never
be produced in mass again. Good thing it will most likely outlast my
flying career. Mark (not Mike)

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.
