was wondering, what it takes to make a rotary capable of 12000 rpm's? how about 14K?



what parts are needed, and anyone got links to buy them?

Carbon seals, Lightweight and balanced Rotors, Oil/Lubication upgrade,

Deep groove comp. bearings, lightweight flywheel, fully balanced and blueprinted motor, Free flowing Intake & exhaust systems with no defects in workmanship. Would be a good start.

extra clearance on the tip-rotor and i think corner seals too

why would you need 14k rpm?

Thats beyond me.I thought rotaries reved high enough as it was. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

i just usually step on the gas. ive gone past 8k with less than 200 miles on my rebuild. and when stupid me, yesterday, while at like 5.5k to 6k in 4th downshifted to third.

the reason being i had awalys heard rotarys were some kinda monster revvers of hell. and it isnt really true.



i dont consider 9K high revving, i left the vw world doing that.



soz if im going to build me a rotary, i want it to be what i had awalys thought it was, some high revving 2 stroke like engine.



also, anyone make ball bearing eshafts for a 13b? i know they can be had (although rare) for a vw, and in crankshaft form.

yes http://www.gurumotorsports.com/products/eshaft.htm
