none of this hopefully :nyaanyaa:

Haha, that's funny.

I've always thought that it was a bit disingenuous to claim that a 13B is a 1.3L and a 20B a 2L. I say there are 3 chambers in each rotor, not 1, so a 13B is 3.9L and a 20B is 6L. Power output seems to be more commensurate with this theory but the rotary still has the weight and physical dimensions advantage when compared to other engines of the same size.

In a standard piston engine (an Otto or Diesel engine), displacement is calculated by multiplying the number of cylinders in the engine with the area of a piston and the length of the stroke. With circular pistons, displacement can be calculated from the bore diameter and stroke using the following formula:

displacement = pi /4 * bore^2 * stroke * number of cylinders

Displacement in a Wankel engine is much more complicated. For instance,Mazda's 13B is a two-rotor engine with combustion chambers of roughly 0.65 liters in displacement (difference in max vs. min combustion chamber volume). At 100% volumetric efficiency, 0.65 liter per rotor face * 3 faces per rotor * 2 rotors gives a total displacement of 3.9 liters. It takes 3 rotations of the eccentric shaft to complete one engine cycle, however. In 2 rotations of the eccentric shaft, comparable to 2 crankshaft rotations on a 4-stroke piston engine, the 13B would displace 2.6 liters. Mazda advertises the 13B as a 1.3 liter engine, which is the volume displaced during a single rotation of the eccentric shaft.

the funny thing is, they are pretty much dirt cheap these days.....i saw guy had a beautiful yellow one for sale for around 10-13 grand?? seriously, lux interior + 20b....what more can you ask for

i putst my hand up for a ride in the bmanmobile

I know - they are sooo cheap now - I can't beleive that they are so hard to sell that the price has come down that much. Doesn't bother me cause I am keeping my baby for ever.

You know - the early Cosmos - the 12A ones - are fetching BIG $$$ now - Hoopefully in 20 years time mine will be worth a bit .... ha ha ha !

Car started today - no issues at all. According to Race Solutions it sounds 'tough'

Matt has tuned it - run in tune - no idea if they have put it on the dyno - I expect not, until it has been run in and proper tune.

Maroun is finishing off the air box and I pick up tomorrow ! Yay !

YAY !

Got the Cosmo back today. It's running a very safe run in tune and RPM is limited to 4500 - I don't think they trust me - ha ha ha

First thing I noticed was that it was way louder than it was before - all the twin turbo junk off and with the nice big single, free flowing dump etc makes a hell of a difference. Before - it sounded like a straight six - now it sounds like a rotor. Bigger ports helps too. Its sounds tuff - Nice.

The boys at Race Solutions & Hit Man did a fantastic job - they wouldn't let me take it until everything was just right.

And Nick (Blitz) - guess what the wastegate dumps to ------- did someone say screamer ???

Had a small problem with the Bosche 044 - doesn't go in the tank - it's an external one - my bad. Not to worry - the boys are ging to knock up a dual Walbro in tank system. I don't need the extra fuel yet. This will happen after its run in and gets a final tune.

Boost is limited to 5 PSI at the moment - and I get that at 2500RPM

Very happy with the result and will be even more happy in a couple of weeks :D

The running in bits the pain ,only got 270k's on mine, did first service today and of to Newcastle via the putty and back down through gosford on the old road tomorrow rough figgers gives me near another 500k's close to second service .Matt did a runin tune on mine fortnight ago .Maroun showed me your car and told me what they had done to it lot of custom work in thet manifold

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
