No. I'll just put everything here. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere and it keeps the graph theme consistent.

His love for torque curves is just misunderstood. 50 years from now we will all realize just how right he was.

You guys set your sights too low . I'm thinking about doing a 4 rotor twin turbo swap in a few years . should I start a thread ?

Do you have graphs? If so, then go for it.

That's right, no build thread means anything without graphs.

If you do enough graphs the swap will happen in your dreams, while you sleep.

So should I do a 1 rotor swap? It should have about 30% better fuel economy and rebuilding should cost about half as much. Plus it should lower the front end weight and improve acceleration because of it. Oh and I can use the stock ecu and just leave the extra fuel injector connectors hanging. What do you guys think? I'll post graphs when I find them.

Sounds feasible. Especially if you have graphs.

You should put one rotor in the trunk for balance purposes

No.

What would be better would be having two 1rotor engines, one for each rear wheel

hmm, that could work! Then you'd have to source a Dihautsu transaxle. They have lots of transmission options and have been tested on lots of slow POS cars so it should work. Let me find some graphs.....

Only one I could find. Maybe one rotor per wheel. That would be 4 wheel drive!

The real trick would be incorporating the rotors into the wheels themselves.

All the planning in the world is useless unless one starts cutting things to fit.
And up to now it's fair to say that there is absolutely 0 planning being done. Just a bunch of thoughts and (wrong) theories but nothing that will actually help that engine fit in the rx8.

They should put taxes on wasted web space.. people would stop posting this kind of nonsense.
