      @@ScoobyShotU Why do you think they were discontinued? They were junk. Too many problems they did not foresee and it was more cost efficient to just stop making them rather than spend all their time, money and efforts rebuilding them. Since then private concerns have managed to find ways to improve the rotary, but there are still some issues with them.

      ​@@ATAATX What doesn't have issues? I thought they were still going to produce it as a generator on their BEV. I personally understood that the main reason it's been discontinued for vehicle power plants was due to poor emissions and fuel economy.
      Sure, the RENESIS was junk due to the design changes they made to meet emissions standards. Overall though, the whole "Rotaries are unreliable junk" is a bit of exaggeration. Look after them and they are more reliable than most people think.

I've had experience with both formats, and know of about 2 rotors that have lasted the test of time making big power. My own experiences have been shit given the build quality of the engines lead to failure. Now I run neo version of rb25det, been an excellent engine for 7 years now. The guy that tunes mine has just put a v12 ferrari engine into a series 4 rx7... It cost him over 20k just for new pistons (nzd). Wonder how many 20b engines that would buy.

    • @rallywagon261
      @rallywagon261 4 년 전

      Ok, first, rotaries aren't all that unreliable. Emissions and poor design judgement from Mazda was the rotaries biggest issue. If your building a rotary and you know how to fix the stupid shit Mazda did (ie, remove flaps that close intake for the rear rotor, run premixed, getting air flowing over the back of the motor, etc) then a rotary isnt all that much less reliable than most other engines.
      As for an LS swap, I lump a JZ swap in with it, been done to death, and just isnt that interesting. However, there is something to be said about the reliability of those engines when built. Ferrari crushing numbers that can do more than 10k miles before needing a rebuild. I think that fact gets glossed over a lot when talking about modern supercars. They make huge numbers, but the maintenance requirements and costs on those cars are insane.

    3 rotary boat engine. there's a few RD's out there using them, incredible potential, and torque you don't expect from a Tr-Dorito. Easily supports up to 1k hp, and 700+ torque. There's a Hoonigan Channel "VS" episode with one in it you should watch if you haven't. it's sick!

      Idiot. These cars are designed around an ls. The rotary was a swap in the first place.
      And the original engine is two hayabusa motorcycle engines turned into one. Then someone ls swapped it and the company jumped on board. Same with other kit cars that are similar.
      Stop being dumb. These cars are meant to be super cars or hyper cars for the price of an m3 that you can daily drive without being any richer then your average mustang owner.
      Rotary throws most of that out the window. Track toy only ride then sure. But why.... so many other options. Why wreck something that price as a track toy unless you got better daily drivers.
      And even still. Build something else cheaper that's just as quick.

    The SL-C will easily handle any LS1, LS6, C5R, LS7 or even a Warhawk LSX Billet engine block package (recommend using the Graziano transaxle though). Ford's Windsor V-8s fit just fine, and so do the "Mod Motors". Not 100% sure about the Coyote but I'm sure it can be done. You can also use an Audi V-10, BMW V-12, Ferrari V-12, or Lamborghini V-10 if you want to get exotic. Any other engine just call Superlite's tech support & they will tell you if it is possible (and most importantly how much). I wanted to do a LSX style custom 9.5 liter V-12 made in Australia but was told that one is to big.
