Message	One thing to keep in mind is that the rotor and the crankshaft spin at different speeds. When your tach says you are revving to 9,000 rpm, the rotors are only spinning at 3,000 rpm. The engine fires at the same rate that a 4 cylinder piston engine fires. So if you want to buy a tach for an RX-7, you go out and buy one for a 4 cylinder car.
Follow Ups	NZR out of curiosity, is it possible to turbo 2stroke engine - czuger 11:20:17 02/06/03 Sure it is. No problem. - Marshall 11:23:39 02/06/03 link to someones turbo 2-stroke project? - czuger 11:34:56 02/06/03 Here you go - Marshall 12:01:12 02/06/03 RX-7s came factory turbocharged - David 280Z 11:26:48 02/06/03 rotary is 3 stroke. (n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 11:32:49 02/06/03 Rotary is a full 4 stroke. - Marshall 11:40:44 02/06/03 Awww, you just beat me (n/m) - Zdreamin 11:41:48 02/06/03 A "stroke" is a motion of the piston either up or down insid - AshsZ (FABio) 12:31:38 02/06/03 Beat me to it Rotaries rotate (n/m) - Speedin Z32 13:16:56 02/06/03 It's more of a wobble than a rotation. - Marshall 13:45:22 02/06/03 in a very basic sense, isnt it kinda like>>> - Tennyson (ATL) 13:49:36 02/06/03 nm, just saw post below (n/m) - Tennyson (ATL) 13:51:12 02/06/03 it's weird - Marshall 14:08:59 02/06/03 Semantics. 4 "cycle" then. - Marshall 13:39:39 02/06/03 no injector in the animation, that thing will never crank up (n/m) - FLY 1 (Dallaz) 14:05:00 02/06/03 it doesn't need a fuel injector. - Marshall 14:16:50 02/06/03 =) sweetness. its so radical compared to a piston engine - AshsZ (FABio) 14:28:24 02/06/03 yeah, true - Marshall 14:39:33 02/06/03 you figure out the prob with the clutch yet? (n/m) - sbsTT(MD) 14:43:38 02/06/03 Not until tomorrow afternoon..... the suspense... =) (n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 15:04:23 02/06/03 There is no stroke with a rotary, it's a rotation motion... - Milo (San Antonio, TX.) 15:09:40 02/06/03 It fires three times per rotor revolution, 1 time per - AshsZ (FABio) 15:14:52 02/06/03 Re: It fires three times per rotor revolution, 1 time per - Marshall 16:10:50 02/06/03 Duuuuude, read up before you post!!!! - Marshall 16:07:12 02/06/03 Yes, ever heard of Detroit diesel used in buses? Those - MikeH(Twin GT35BB Incon Z) 14:09:46 02/06/03 locomotives also use turbo 2 stroke diesels - aliaZ 14:19:43 02/06/03 Some kid in my neighborhood turbocharged his goped - KILLR300ZX 14:53:47 02/06/03 if it burns it can be turboed (n/m) - RT 15:58:36 02/06/03 jet aircraft engine? space shuttle? :) (n/m) - ScubaSteve 19:58:11 02/06/03
