If you're interested in seeing exactly how your motor works go to:

Yeah, the rotors are actually spinning at 1/3 of that speed. That's because you get 3 ignition events for each full turn of the rotor. So that one spin counts as 3. Go rotors! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I agree with that but the thing piston engines dislike is the 'to-and-from motion' of most parts. In rotaries everything is spinning and only a few moving parts. BTW, I've already seen this web site, that's a good one. It's been 12 years I own my rx7 and never had much problems except that I now know that it has been lacking power since then. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I've hit it a few times in my vert. In first I throw out a big fat flame. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Isn't it at 8,000 rpm on the S4?

Something like that.
