How would you prolong the life of your rotary ?

Quote from: stylus35012k on 500 as a daily. OMP no premix or water injection running at 1.1 bar. Gets ragged as often as traffic conditions allow. Was going pre mix but Pip more or less talked me out of it. Finding some wood to touch right now.

thats good going, its obviously a strong engine with a good tune. :guinness

Do you run it at 1.1 bar all the time, i\'m suprised your gearbox is holding out!

1.1 or 0.8 use 1.1 by far the most though

Gearbox changed last week. At around 150quid for a good used one thought I may aswell just keep changing them until a proven upgrade comes to light (keeping an eye on warthogs progress.)

Engine built by JD. I might have a \'modified\' OMP of some sort but have never managed to speak to him, not even sure he realy exists! Should give Kerim a call again and find out. The car had 5k and been run at .8 since a 2k run in when it came to me. I took it to Pip for bigger injectors and boost increase.

Jay\'s engines do seem to make very good power, I agree about the gearbox thing though, let someone else do the R&D
