+jezwah one dislike by now, think it's an european super pro et competitor........

[@thatcornfedrx8guy372]

All the sounds are giving me chills 😍😍😍

[@Tuppoo94]

That small pickup was a rocket!

[@amyasseektruth8246]

the blonde @ 0:17 Good job God.

[@brettbeatty1683]

M V i would be fine with that

[@Bricklinsv1970]

I aint talkin shit on no 4 banger ever again!

[@smallenginedude71]

VRATATATATATATATATATA. love the sound of a rotary.

[@michaelamaldonado303]

love hearing a rotary engine idle ❤

[@amyasseektruth8246]

Rotary engines are great fun, but if you've owned one you'd know the issues. Like any engine, look after it, it will look after you. Fuel efficiency is none existent, drinks oil, spares are fucking overpriced. Especially apex seals and spark plugs. I thought Australia would have redesigned the rotary engine by now seeing how great they are tuning them. Some company with big bucks should definitely do this. Maybe upscale the engine with 15-20%. Fix the oil feed, fuel efficiency, design longer lasting apex seals, fix the overheating issue, fix the flooding blah blah, you get the picture. It's sad. I love rotary but opted for a Toyota 1JZ GTE VVT-i ---- I'm a traitor, probably deserve to be shot in public but yea.

[@lb8130]

+Verum Quaerere Seek Truth spares are cheap as chips and these motors don't drink the engine oil you just premix 2 stroke into the fuel. spark plugs will cost the same as a 4 cylinder.... there are only 4 of them on a 13b. you may be thinking of 20/26b's they are pricey as but the power is intense.

[@amyasseektruth8246]

craig m 2 trailing and 2 leading. Yes, thanks I do know a bit about rotaries. I think you should add in your comment, SPARES ARE CHEAP AS CHIPS 'where I am from' seeing that here in RSA the spares are madly priced. A spark plug for the rotary is R850-00 (ZAR) 75.14 in Australian Dollars x 2 trailing the leading are R1250-00 (ZAR) 110,49 in Australian Dollars x 2 leading.... Do you consider this to be cheap?

[@lb8130]

Verum Quaerere Seek Truth well my man i suggest you order them online from japan or something. i used to pay less than 40AUD for all 4 plugs.

[@amyasseektruth8246]

craig m If this was the case I'd keep my rotary. I love them, but can't afford them -

[@KB-el9ed]

Music to the ears

[@rifleman7313]

For the price which engine would better engine for engine swaps. A 13b rotary (or 12a, 20b, etc.) or a K-20 or k-24 K-Series?

[@baklapperb.v.1584]

that promod nissan at 3:22, sick pass!

[@nicolasbaillargeon4983]

How do rotary engine perform on the long run? Can they handle 200k miles?

[@Swaygooy]

I'm sure some can but for the majority no, especially the ones seen here

[@jezwah]

+NICOLAS BAILLARGEON I would hazard a guess that any drag racing team at these sorts of power levels and ET's, regardless of being rotary, 4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl etc most probably tear down an engine after a meet like this purely to inspect the health of the components.

[@fullboost]

+NICOLAS BAILLARGEON Don't think there are too many drag engines that are good for that many miles! :)

[@SirDankNewton]

+NICOLAS BAILLARGEON I'm no expert, but I would imagine that they can hold up to this kind of punishment better than a normal piston engine would.

[@billybohanno7281]

+mackthefatcat they probably blow their apex seals out the exhaust every pass

[@DasE30Cuz]

Serious question, are the sparks we see during the 2-step/launch control little bits of apex seals?

[@angeldust43091]

what horsepower you think these rotaries are at guys?

[@MrGlossyEdits]

+Mark&Stephanie Silcox Easy 1000-1300hp

[@Stonkish]

At least 800 bhp to around 1000+ bhp. Doesn't seems like much but theese cars are very low weight and has the same power/weight ratio as the cars on Street Outlaws, which has 2500-4000 bhp.

[@ademite]

@@Stonkish street outlaw guys scared to race the puerto rican rotary gods though. They don't want em near them lol.

[@Frietpan]

the one that spit out the huge flame followed by smoke blew something? @ 5:29

[@hperez2016]

Frietpan Nope, it's burning fuel

[@designertjp-utube]

Hi! If this question got answered already, sorry 4 bringin' it up again! I noticed most of the Mazda Rotary Pickups are getting off the line pretty damn good here, with not too much squirrel/sidewinder snake action goin' on like their Rx3 close cousins. Is this because the Mazda's Truck engine is slower or a better engineered chassis (which the Rx3s could take note of)? Or was it simply superb Driver Talent? Back in 1978, I kept my stock Rx3SP inside the lanes while holding off stock (at they acted like that) 302 Boss Mustangs out in the San Fernando Valley.

[@Joe11Blue]

shorter and narrower wheelbase.

[@designertjp-utube]

Thanks for the info Joe! At age 60, I've slowed down a bit and am thinking of getting a Ford Transit Connect with a "maxed out" stock engine and an up top Ladder Rack. I do Art Jobs in & around L.A. and Hollywood, and I deal with small cramped parking spaces everywhere. But Listening to these Rotary Engines & seeing the Rx3's pop wheelies, sure take me back to 1978 in a heartbeat!

[@johnoneil4698]

rx3 rotary on the rev limiter, that's tuff

[@SpeedrunTnRC]

What's just car insurance mean is that the rules street legal?

[@phoenixnfa]

It's an insurance brand. Like State Farm or Nationwide in the states. They sponsored mighty car mods for a long time (maybe still do?).

[@jacobabbott9562]

All these rotary's cant be 13b's right?

[@thelastgear8972]

Jacob Abbott bro a 13b is a rotary.

[@lewiscattell6060]

Might be a cpl of 12A's I the mix but no 20B's

[@MrGlossyEdits]

Does anyone know if the S15 is running an SR powerplant?

[@thomasmahase]

It would be the only 4 cylinder of choice

[@Joop.23-2-63]

what happened @8:32?

is that the ex-INSANE car of Rod Harvey at 05:47??

On ya mate,

[@johnoneil4698]

Thanks

[@literallynothing8934]

I'm all rotary!

[@initialdfan8352]

When u have a neighbor that has a rx8

[@snidderpr]

and not a single 6secs pass

[@johnoneil4698]

Have u seen the PAC brothers Rotary at the drags

[@Ihaveseenthings577]

mmmm....3 rotors running in alcohol or high performance fuel and turbo making 7secs. it's slow...no chance, I know there should be a combination for those engines that a 3 rotor can make middle 5secs, rotaries are high torque, so look into that, I dont have money for trying but a good sponsor could do it.....Good Luck, Muchachos...👽👍

[@thelastgear8972]

i have seen things 7 secs? What are you on? Most 20Bs are in the 6 range not 7 and even most of the 13b are in the 6 range as well

[@christinapyle7981]

Hoooo lay shit

[@PaPWPW]

That SR20 sounds awesome, piece of shit rotaries soundn like lawnmowers

[@MultiMates7]

+PilgrimTitan rotaries sound mad herrm 4 rotor and 3 rotor turbo

[@R3IMU]

you must own one hell of a lawnmower then.

[@lb8130]

+PilgrimTitan yet it was getting beat everytime. who cares if you sound better when you're slower.

[@jamesgee761]

+TheAuzzieSniper i agree with theeee SR20 guy

[@korit.3085]

+PilgrimTitan I have to agree with Craig M, who cares about the sound? It's not a concert, it's drag racing, it just has to be faster.

[@Mile-long-list]

but it can't turn. useless as a car

[@TEQTONYK]

But 100% effective as a drag car.

[@toddhoward4982]

They can turn they just dont really have to cause the track is a straight line as anyone with at least one brain cell can see

what horsepower you think these rotaries are at guys?

[@imdethfannotmike7001]

i've seen 13b's at 1000+ and 26b's up to the sky for power. with rotaries it's all bout boost
