For anyone still registered as 2616cc

[ilovemyrx8]

I\'ve just found this on a website was gonna post link but it too long so I\'ve pasted it

A rotary\'s displacement or swept volume is calculated just like a piston engine\'s, being the difference between maximum chamber volume and minimum chamber volume multiplied by the number of rotors. You don\'t multiply it by the number of chambers because they only one chamber is fired per engine revolution. This makes a 13B 1308cc.

In the automotive media it became common to multiply this by two because the rotary inhales this volume twice as often as a 4-stroke piston engine. Since the amount of air an engine breathes is almost directly proportial to it\'s power output, this gives a number that makes rotary-powered cars easier to compare to a piston-engine ones (and comparing cars is what the media does). This makes a 13B 2616cc.

In motorsport the rotary\'s swept capacity is usually multiplied by 1.8 as this gives a more accurate way to evenly class rotary-powered cars against piston-powered ones. This makes a 13B 2354cc.

The truth is one can\'t accurately compare a rotary\'s swept volume with a piston\'s. There are too many other differences to use just this one number. In my exerience people who actually argue about whether or not a 13B really is 1.3L usually don\'t fully understand what they\'re talking about.

Hope this is of any help???

Anyway, I think we\'ve all forgotten something very important here: The DVLA are a bunch of mindless jerks who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

actually they\'ll be second, it\'ll be the sad fdukers who design and build AND COMMISSION speed cameras first...........   :reallymad
