The 1.3 engine(13B) is classed as a 2.6 in certain circumstances because of the way the engine works. In a 4 stroke piston engine it takes 2 revolutions to do 1 cycle. In a rotary it takes 1 revolution per cycle so because 2 strokes cannot be sold new here they class it as a equal to a 4 storke and they use 2 revolutions thus creating double the capacity. At least the insurance dont look at that :D
13B and 13B-REW use 4 spark, 2 per rotor, that is correct. But it is not for fuel economy, rotary engines actually need a shitload of spark, the more power, the more spark you need, and the colder your plugs have to be, I use NGK Platinum's 11.5 Heat Range, these plugs are like $200 for a set of 4, they are hard as fuck to start Rotary's respond well to good CDI units (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) I used a HKS Twin Spark; fine until around the 500rwhp mark, needed a M&W Unit for more spark.
@eldiceuf Nobody is "squeezing" here, RX7 can pull away like that because it's a fast fucking car, that's the SCOOT Rx7 (Not the 4 Rotor) The owner of Scoot Japan is driving the FD 300KM/H Video Option specials they took a bunch of cars out to New Zealand which was basically a straight goat track but that RX7 got up to 330Km/h from memory, I know the Veilside R34 GTR was also close to 340Km/h Quite amazing speeds considering these guys are just tuners / small mechanic shops, not pro race teams
@dectrone They do not use nitrous in japan on REAL street cars such as these. I have seen in person both cars. The White R32 belongs to Mr T from Sift and the RX7 belongs to the owner of Scoot japan. The rx7 has 650 bhp with an HKS T51R SPL. An rx7 is fast as fuck and with 650 hp, will tear many cars to bits in acceleration.
Hey man,sorry to answer this after 14 years(literally 1 yr after i was born lmao).The car is tuned by SCOOT Sports.It had Pehripheral port and a HKS T% Turbo(referal clipru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6XWXUqWXBT0.html,skip to 55:27),but i know that it was name the Wangan Spec,was used to hit speed records and it reached 327KPH(referal link to vid:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gqd3l6P3PV4.html).I know i am too late,but i hope this helps !
@eldiceuf No one's using nitrous.. or 'squeeze' as you call it.. And even if they were, how is that a handicap? Anyone can use it if its built for it.. Thats like saying people who are running their cars at drag strips near sea level are cheating against the guys who have drag strips in colorado about a mile above sea level.. Thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard.
that rx7 is done by a tuner called scoot. this rx7 is 700ps, sequential gearbox, adjustable suspention incar, and a very complex aero package. It uses a "ground effects" undertray from an old F1 lola
so if you spend 5k to build up a motor to handle nitrous it's like using steroids? lol a good nitrous set up will run you at least 1k, i don't see how that's an unacceptable handicap
