hey i was wondering what would happen to a rotary engine when u over-rev it? im using as an example a N/A FC thats y i posted it here...cuz im thinking since piston engines have parts like valves, valve springs etc. they get valve-float when they rev too high. so what happens to a rotary engine when say u rev up to 8000rpm instead?

 

if you rev to 8k, nothing happens.

 

The real question is does your car make power up there?

 

No he means if u rev it till it cant go no more will the rotary go kaboom like a piston engine would.



I think the answer is the rotary will say, give me MORE

 

Over time, say 10 minutes, yes something will happen. But who could stand that noise at 8k rpm's for more than 1 minute.



You should redline once a day in ANY rotary.

i think the question he really wants to know is , will his n/a throw out flames if he revs the **** out of his car... heh

 

You can do it without hurting it too much but don't do it



Sorta like when you drop your cellphone on the ground, it still works, and you're like, that was a close one, but then you think it's tough and you keep dropping it and then one day it doesn't work

In that case, you can spin as many rpm's in your imaginary car as you want, it will never blow up!
