I think your friend in the background is having an orgasm when he sees the flames.

 

[Jim Prower]

eh...not all that impressive. a turbo and some anti-lag...that'll spit fire. like a machine gun.

Aurora? that's not far...if you see a little silver Chevy Nova (AE82) with foglights below the bumper...MINE.

Its because the car has the stock cadelic comberder, (I dont know how to spell it), and it was his first time.
He couldnt belive it.

 

[stumpydino]

catalytic converter?
his first time what ever seeing a car?

It was his first time seeing flames,with a stock na rx7 that had a
cadelic comberder.

Cadelic comberder is a thing thats on your exaust that stops the bad smell and cleans the air a little bit. Wich means, my rx7 still had the cadelic comberder and it still shot flames.Amazing

Can't you read? Your friend sounds dumb when he laughed in that video. I mean really, is it his first time seeing flames coming out an exhaust? Its nothing new to me or anyone. If you have unburned fuel escape from the engine combustion, it will ignite once it comes out the exhaust, DUH! Even if it the exhaust has a catalytic converter, its still possible to get flames out of the exhaust.

But i've seen better flames than that.

cadelic comberder,

LMAO.


Do I dare call a ludicrous claim?

Cadillac

??? is that how you say it?

 

[Greycap]

Cadelic comberder is a thing thats on your exaust that stops the bad smell and cleans the air a little bit.

Actually it's the catalytic converter itself that causes the smell resembling bad eggs. Uncleaned exhaust gases don't smell nearly as bad (a stronger smell, yes, but not as bad) as the ones passed through the catalysator.

you dont get it, its hard for me to explain

There is nothing to "get" here. Other than the fact that your friend clearly doesn't know a lot about engine technology and that's something we've understood already. Any petrol engine can shoot flames out of the exhaust unless the pipe is too long for the flames to get out or there are specifically built flame dampers in the pipe.

 

[tfujiwara]

Ok, but can we just stop arguing.

Ohh, and I forgot to mention that my "FC" has a strait pipe now, its damm loud. I'll try and put another video so you can all see.

Heres the funny part, after 5 min in the video, a fire control truck past by. An old lady called because she thought we were in trouble.

About your sig, go punch whoever told you a rotary is more reliable than an LS1 in the face.

dont mess around with the rotary if you dont know what your talking about

Also, I am not going to punch Felix Wankel. He is my hero.

Your video shows a nice racing scene in which a lighter and better balanced car defeats a V8 car on a technical track. So? I'm afraid it doesn't answer the reliability matter raised by Perfect Balance. NA rotaries sure can be reliable and smooth, but when it comes to turboed rotaries it gets far worse. Like someone once said on some forum (can't remember which one though), the FD is like a see-saw. You need to compensate every performance upgrade with a reliability upgrade. But even without major performance upgrades, the engine still is costy and unreliable. Probably most LS1 swaps aren't done because the rotary isn't powerful enough, but because it's too costy to maintain. Sure, you have to improve cooling and other things when you add power in the LS1, but not to such a degree as in a rotary. Plus, it's easier to get parts and cheaper to get them. Before you start jumping the gun on the LS1 swapping people, try owning a high performance rotary.

Wankel's theory of a Wankel engine is indeed great. But that's just a theory. No existing Wankel engine lives up to it. Sure, they are evolving, and the Mazda's Renesis is a step in the right direction, but is still far from an engine that is more reliable, fuel economic and more efficient performance-wise at the same time than a piston engine. And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to start a flame war, I love rotaries (especially the phenomenal NA unit in the Scoot RX-7), but I wouldn't be able to afford a rotary and I'm not blind towards the cons of a rotary engine.

 

[nissan tuner]

LS1's in RX7's is blasphemy. if the said person wanted a LSX, buy a chevy and have some self respect to the mazda brand

 

[Blackbird.]

??? is that how you say it?

No, it's like everyone else said whether you like it or not. Catalytic Converter

 

[tfujiwara]

Here's proof about reliability:

The faumose 24 hour race:Long race
Winner of 24 hour race:787B (Mazda 4 rotor)
How: Great Reliability (Rotary).Wich means less time going into the pistop and more time on the track.

Also, how did the Castrol Syntec Mazda RX-8 win In the 2008 Rolex 24 at Daytona? Because its a Rotary.

Not trying to showoff or anything but, its true.
My rx7 has about 145,000 miles on it and it turns on really quick, and runs great too.

You guys should see Jay Lenos's Garage show on the internet, and see his Mazda Cosmo.

And my friend has an '85 BMW 535i with nearly 220,000 miles on it with no engine problems, turns on without hiccups, and runs smooth and mean. No rotary in there!

Guess who also didn't win the Le Mans race in 1990? Why? You guessed it, reliability.

You didn't know what a catalytic converter was called, or the fact that it doesn't cause flames.

I don't think you have much backing this statement up.


Don't let arrogance get the best of you.

EDIT: Ever wonder why V8RX-7forum.com's motto/slogan type thing is "The place you go, when your rotary blows"?

 

[sLg]

Stop the damned debate over pistons and rotaries.. they've both got their virtues. Although the minority of rotary users seem really cocky.

Also, I don't know if I'm right, but it's possible that the Mazda didn't win in the 1990-whatever-year Le Mans because of fuel consumption; I read somewhere that there was an RX7 in a race that would have beat a Ferrari except for the frequent fuel stops.

Touche'. Cambria centroverter? Are you sure thats a car part? I think thats a side project from coheed and cambria... If you want to talk about whats reliable, go get a diesel and see how long that thing runs. Im thinking you don't even know what a spark plug is after reading all this non sense...

Wrong. The 787B won the faumose 24 hour race because of its revolutionary cataclysmic catheter. The rotary was the only engine that would work with that kind of exhaust system, wich alloud for less pissstops.

You don't seem to understand anything about the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Races there are not won because of the engine. Any 24 Hour Race is won because of strategy, and a little bit of luck.

As for LeMans, the statement about the 1991 787B itself says the Wankel engine has issues, as stated by Wikipedia.

The Mazda's 787B, powered with a rotary model 26B Wankel engine, won in 1991, overcoming reliability issues in the older manufacturer cars. It was the first Japanese manufacturer to win Le Mans, as well as the only non-piston engine car to ever win.

Besides, if the Wankel is so reliable, why is it that even in the Super GT, it has major problems? A Mazda has only won that series once (2006), and that was due to good race results because it only won 1 race during the 2006 season.

A little over sarcastic much? You need to let him off a little....
But yeah, what you said about the 787B is true. I mean the engine isn't all that powerful or reliable, its the working mechanics that did most of the job (I mean, the other parts of the car)
