Are you just wanting a straight cash sale or a possible px?

Are there any rx8\'s going and would anyone be kind enough to take me out for a spin in a 192 and a 231 please and run through the basics of them with me?

Me too :mmmm

Im going up from Kent way if anybody wants to meet on route? Will be stopping at South mimms at 7

the quote was for a stock car lol, il try em cheers

any other suggestions welcome

Have a good read of the Wiki article - will probably help explain a few things:
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....el_engine

that didnt work what were you trying to link to?

How i see it is rotarys flow a lot of air for their engine capacity. The more air you flow the more fuel you need to achieve a set A/F ratio. Or am i looking at this to simply.

this is exactly my point, if they flow the equivalent of say a 2.6 then fuel use should be same as 2.6 piston engine

I think the point of the thread is are rotaries more gas guzzling than pistons for an equivalent amount of power produced

i dont agree with that, its not viable when considering air flow and fuelling

perhaps not as bad as has been painted

EXACTLY my point, im attempting to defend the rotaries by thinking tecnically about it

I suppose at the end of the day many more factors i.e. weight, tyres, drag etc.. come into play i was just looking at the basic physics of any engine being an air pump as you said Prof

im not trying to consider a car thats running ported/heavily tuned to be honest i was more trying to consider the stock fuel economy. Im not comparing it in a way of supra vs rx7 i just used my supra as an example as i had good proof of AFR\'s rather than just using guess work to compare

Just because an FD makes boost at 2k doesnt mean its not in closed loop, supra tt\'s/300zx\'s etc make boost that low also. Closed loop on a supra is approx 60% tps up to 4k rpm providing coolant temp is 60deg, this of course varies car to car. Maybe someone knows exactly defines closed loop on rx7

My supra has a big single currently over 500hp and will return almost 25mpg on a run no prob, obviously without nailing the loud pedal. As i said i only use it as comparison as i know exactly what AFRs occur where etc....

My WOT is 11.5 and falls to 10.8 towards rev limit

Im just trying to work out the reason for rotaries being blamed for poor economy, seems like a good debate started:cheers:cheers:cheers

FDs don\'t do "economy" LOL

thats good but doesnt really answer question:flamed

I just did a long motorway run and some r/r time at 19mpg now i think i am right in thinking that is about the same as a supra TT

60litres over approx 320miles equates to approx 23mpg which i got driving to and from (was not properly mapped on way up) Surrey RR and including dyno pulls and some road tuning at 500hp so fairly close
