Re: WHY SO QUIET?

Nah it is 1.3 litres: 654cc per rotor for a 13b. IIRC, they are classed as 2.6litre engines beause they make two power strokes per 720 degrees of rotation, unlike a piston engine which makes one.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 4:55 AM Subject: Re: WHY SO QUIET? I think Suzuki released a rotary powered bike in the 70's without any success also. A 13B is really 2.6 litres because each rotor housing displaces 1.3l. Definitely don't get the fuel mileage of a 1.3 l engine ! The power and torque of most high-po rotaries makes them pretty tiring to drive compaered to the equiv. 4 cyl turbo IMO, which at least has good tractability down low. I think the early RX's are still classics along with the 1600 in their own right though. Must admit the sight of a rotary in a 510 isn't pleasing to my eye, but if it works then hey! Any of the preceeding comments shold not be taken seriously. Any person/s named have had their identities changed to protect the innocent. Any claims of horsepower or performance should not be taken seriously and are subject to embelishment and exageration for bench racing purposes only. Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!
