It obviously wasn't a typo - he had "...and Mazda has recently ADMITTED the engine is actually a 12.3L engine"

 

The article is still wrong. It reads: "When measured fully, some describe the engine as displacing it comes out to 2.6L (2 rotors at 1.3L each)."

Ignoring for a moment the terrible grammar, each rotor does not displace 1.3L. Each rotor displaces 654cc's.

 

haha just edit it then. Where do they get the 2.6L number from? cuz that's the class they won the award in.

 

2 full rotations of the eccentric shaft. Just like it takes a 4cycle piston motor 2 full rotations of the crank shaft to put each piston through all 4 cycles. I believe RotaryGod has a lengthy writeup explaining this in detail around here somewhere.

 

boo more searching! k I edited that info on the wiki page...(wow it's so easy - and I hope this is the correct info cuz I have no clue )

 

Actually quite a bit. You always have a few people that do that on any forum but the 7 forum is overwhelmed by these people. It's not even funny. That's why the smartest rotary people typically don't post there. They get argued out of the place. They've got a few smart people but if you are trying to learn, it's hard to weed these people out from the general bs.

 

that is funny!

 

He's a smart guy. If you even ask him a question, he takes it personally like you're calling him out. He then gets all defensive and it turns into a bickering match about credibilty and so forth and so on. He doesn't feel anyone has a right to question anything he does and he does this without ever producing a shred of evidence that he did it. The sad thing is that he probably did do it but his lack of desire to prove it makes him look bad. I don't agree with him on a few things but he has been doing it for a long time and does know alot. His own personal attitude got him in a mess with others. It wasn't what he knew.

In contrast to this, there are people out there with zero practical experience who speak as if they've personally done things and argue their side of it like their life depended on it. Then you've got the people who don't know anything but can afford to buy what they want and they too speak as if from experience as merely owning it yet knowing nothing about it must give them instant credibilty. These are the people I am referring to.

 

I think with anything on the internet, not just forums, you gotta take things with a grain of salt

 

We see things from quite a bit more similar position than I originally thought.
