The Legendary 10,500 RPM Mazda 787B Engine

There are only a few more iconic engines than this spectacular four-rotor Wankel-type unit that also managed to bring the 787B first to the finish in 1991 of 24 hours of Le Mans.
It was built at the peak of Wankel era when Mazda had multiple rotary-powered models in the portfolio. In theory, this was a twin 13B engine using only natural aspiration and incredibly high rpm to reach its 700 hp setup. The engine rev limiter would cut off power somewhere around 9,500 rpm, but on an engine dyno the R26B's potential is above 900 hp, upwards of 10,000 rpm.

It's also a real problem for rule makers to determine the volumetric capacity of the rotor/s. If you're a fan you say it's tiny if not you can argue its 3X what I would consider the compression/firing volume. Big up the S800 Honda. 8000rpm, four carbs made an MG Midget look prehistoric.

What I recall from my RX7 days was being bowled over by the direct and incredibly linear relationship between how far I pressed the accelerator pedal and how far I sank back into the driver's seat back. No piston engine driven car I have ever driven, from muscle car to mini-van, has ever had that oddly linear relationship. And until you experience it, I'm not sure you can fully appreciate how miserably inept the world of piston engines is. I adored my RX7, and profited greatly by rebuilding its rotary engine once, but blew it up because I was young and foolishly didn't grasp the importance of the hard chrome bearing surfaces inside the engine's rotor chambers.

@joewolvey5837 11 месяцев назад

My biggest gripe of turbo rotarys is the non-linear power delivery. It's way hard to stick with the v8's cos the v8's far superior torque curve. In my class, a max of 3 rotors is allowed. And an NA 3 rotor just don't make enough oomph. Not even a crazy PP....

Unlike a 4 stroke piston engine in which the valves above the chamber time a certain amount of fuel as well as the combusted gases exiting the chamber. Rotory engines don't have that, they drink up gas like I drink up soda when I have dry mouth from getting really stoned. Wankel engines are an interesting concept but I wouldn't it recommend if you are looking for efficiency.

@peekaboo1575 3 года назад

@@mro4ts457 We did indeed but you don't seem to know what happened, friend. Wankels weren't banned because they won, they do not 'work too well' and they certainly aren't banned from 'future races' since they have been allowed back in for quite some time now. You see, prior to 1991 the FIA had announced that all Group C cars would have to field 3500cc Formula One engines starting in '91. When the announced was made Mazda had never won a single race (Le Mans or otherwise) with their Wankel prototypes. When 1991 came around it was clear that there wasn't enough time to test said F1 engines enough to make them reliable so the FIA allowed some teams to stick with their older powerplants albeit with some penalties. The forced shift turned into a mess, specially for the top teams which had to deal with a new, not-yet understood powerplant. Mazda stuck with their Wankels for what would have been their final year and capitalized on the chaos. Their 767s and 787s were never the fastest, never the most reliable cars on the grid. So much so that they were allowed to race with a bellow-minimum weight in '91. Wankels have been allowed again for quite some time now but Mazda has 'abandoned' them completely, even for road cars. The 787b deserves credit for winning Le Mans, no doubt, but don't get carried away by it.

See so many bicker about the Wankel. The Wankel was never banned and it would not have made for a good, long term production race engine. They had to detune the car by over 200 horsepower just to make it more reliable. Even in the street cars, the RX-7 and RX-8 are complete money pits because of the Wankel motor. One of the best sounding motors by far but also one of the most plagued.

@cinimini4854 3 года назад

They only used 700hp because of reliability issues to keep up? Well to be fair, that at the end was the reason they won.

A fair win nonetheless but people should stop spreading the idea that the Mazda was just too good.

I hope one day I get to drive a race car on a race track. Would be crazy to go that fast.

The 787 qualified 12th and that was its real level compared to the Mercedes, Jaguar, Porsche, Toyota, Peugeot and Nissan. It was a lucky win helped by the confusion brought by the forced end of Group C and failure of the new 3.5 liter WSC class. By the way, what does the 1999 Toyota GT-One (shown in your video) with 1991?

I still want to make a rotary powered land speed car. Rotary engine, turbos, and a CVT transmission. Since land speed cars are pushed off the line. You wouldn't have to worry about low speed torque. Jut wind out that rotary with a properly 'geared' CVT and I bet it would break some hearts and records
