Click here to see VideoIt's a link to a Rx-7 FCs running a 9k rpm for 5 minutes straight and it dies. Someone told me at the Los Angeles Chinatown Showoff that rotaries dies easily. Maybe someone can shed some light.
Can someone explain why you would this??

From what limited knowledge I have about the Mazda rotory (Wankel sp?) engine I think he might have just gotten a new engine.....I have been told that they are tough and most the time you only need to change the gasket.neodragon0l said:

Ah, yeah that engine was probably a piece of crap and he probably was getting a swap done to it so he had a spare engine to destroy or something i duno. All I know is that once you overheat the rotary engine, you can say adios. (Anyone wanna go out for some AMF haha) That's what I was told by my friend whos fanatically into Mazdas, he has 1 FC convertible and a FD he imported from Japan. But yeah, they were most likely getting a swap done and got bored or somethin. who knows.

^ Yup, those motors can hold up with ease and rev high. It was most likely a throw away and he was putting in work soon. Ever see the video of the purple 1st gen RX7 doing a burnout for a contest and blowing his motor like 5-6 minutes later? Awesome.. crowd was giving props!

I have no idea but it is a totally different engine with pistons, unlike the Mazda. I would guess not long, I would imagine a rod would be thrown or a gasket blown.kleptodathief said:just curious how hard is it for the 6th gen engine to 'blow'? WOT needs to b done to it????
I am sure there are videos of it.

Looks like the engine was already blown to begin with, you can see in all the blue smoke coming out of the exhaust from the beginning. Also although rotary engine's can be made to be fast once the apex seals blow its over. A lot of the FD guys have been trasnplanting V8 engines from domestic cars and Toyota Engines from supras I.E. 7mgte, 1jzgte because they're tired of their Rotary engines. Here's some info for you guys. http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/blown.htm

What ever happened to those experimental quasi-turbine motors that were like rotories but instead of a spinning triangle it was a square.
Yeah I've heard of people using 2 stroke oil in the gas to prolong the life of the seals.
DRFTW! :laugh: if only...
