I've been told an SA's 12A could spin past 12k RPM (or maybe it was 24k?). Crack smoker B.

Here's a thread where a guy thinks a rotary will lock up if the OMP is not working, or there is no premix. Then when I try to correct him, he comes back as if he didn't even read my whole post (all two sentences lol). I think he's a member here and on the 'club' forum. http://frost.bbboy.net/vwengineconversions...orum=1&thread=6



I don't want to make him feel stupid, but he's handing out shoddy advice to potential rotary VW owners. First it's about the OMP. Next it's about how to remove the rat's nest and adding a catch can (isn't that a honduh boy trick?) What do I do?



Here is that rat's nest/catch can thread: http://frost.bbboy.net/vwengineconversions...rum=1&thread=70



Check it out: http://frost.bbboy.net/vwengineconversions What do you guys think? (that forum needs more rotary VW people, hehe)

Dumb kids, hah, the most frequent thing I hear when people are talking about rotary engines is that they have "no redline."

I agree with that, I've been told before that my diff is what gives my drag racing car the HP that it's got and it came from a honda owner.
