glenn Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 A rotary engine wouldn't fit/wasn't designed for a FWD car. The FE3 is pretty much the best bang for your buck for engine swaps into an early MX-6. they do work in fwd application,plenty in nz
Fabrux Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Interesting. At any rate, I know that 6 rotor wouldn't fit...!
moparmagiclives Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Interesting. At any rate, I know that 6 rotor wouldn't fit...! Just bob the fenders.......A LOT.
W-409 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Andy: You're right! They are cool. . Sonny's race engines makes a 1,005 cubic inch engine, It was featured in Hot Rod Magazine a while back and they showed that the cylinders are so big that a cantaloupe fits inside them. Thanks, I guess that 1005 Cid. engine is big enough too. And needs to say, that those cylinders are Huge, if cantaloupe fits inside!
Ben Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 what is that top engine? Obviously japanese wanna say Toyota? Or possibly a Mitsubishi 4G63 loves those lil beasts! Looks like a Pontiac 4 cyl. Possibly from a Grand Am?
moparmagiclives Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Here ya go, this came in the Yugo But what one of those is your favorite ??
Ben Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 But what one of those is your favorite ?? Umm, I only saw one, the huge V24 Detroit. Were there others?
moparmagiclives Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Umm, I only saw one, the huge V24 Detroit. Were there others? I ment, what one of the 100 yugo engines that were used in the making of that monster.
1972coronet Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I chose the following , based upon : A.) Visual Appeal B.) Performance C.) Seldom Seen ( excepting the 340 ) In no particular order-of-favour : 1.) GMC 702 C.I.D. "Twin-Six" 2.) GMC 351 "Big Block" V6 3.) Buick Nailhead 4.) MoPar 340 ( I chose the 1972-1973 version strictly for its visual appeal of the orange air cleaner / blue engine ) 5.) Experimental Oldsmobile 455 C.I.D. Hemi More to follow ...
1972coronet Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 ** I Don't Know WTH Happened to the image of the GMC V6 in My Above Post ?? ** Couple more : 1.) Detroit 12V-71 with twin 6V-71 Huffers (inside a 'Rod) 2.) Pontiac 250 C.I.D. OHC Sprint Six As a side note ; it's too bad that American car manufactuers didn't allot more funding for the development of their six cylinder engines . Imagine an OHC Slant Six ; wider application of the Pontiac 230/250 OHC ; a Diesel Slant Six ; and many more . Engines which could've saved the manufactures and the consumers A LOT of grief starting on 21.OCT.1973
Draggon Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I love them nailheads. The one you posted is soooo nice!
glenn Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 this will sound insane when it's up and running This engine has just been started for the first time and is the worlds first running 6 rotor engine,built in New Zealand,will be in an RX4 drag car,should sound like a monster once it's run in and tuned.
TooOld Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Does anyone like Ford engines ? Here's a couple of 427 Cobra motors . A 700 H.P. all aluminum engine and a 650 H.P. with Inglese induction .
gtx6970 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Nitro does wonderful things to an internal combustion engine.
glenn Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 more footage of the 6 rotor being run in,this thing will sound insane when it's run under load.
gtx6970 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 That sure doesn't sound like any mazda rotary motor I've ever been around but it sure sounds gooooooooooood
dimebolt Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 King of the Hemis!!! Ray Barton style. He redesigned the valve train geometry, and they redline close to 10 grand, and are waaaaay more reliable than the stock design.
bodeen2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) one of my favorite engines is not because its fast or powerful but its easy to work on and cheap to fix 3.1L MPFI In a 1994 chevy lumina Edited August 15, 2012 by bodeen2012
checkmate Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Here's some of my favourite's from down here in Australia. MR PSI ute. http://www.youtube.c...LSkzgPs80?rel=0 National Automotive ute. 1939hp at the rear wheels. http://www.youtube.c...Czt-Se-Wg?rel=0 And here's what happens when you stand on the throttle with that sort of grunt. http://www.youtube.c...5PvjX4nPM?rel=0 Edited August 17, 2012 by checkmate
