Common Problem
I can't say that I understand why, but undersizing the compressor is a common mistake that people with a lot of piston engine experience make with the rotary. The calculations just don't work the same, even when you use 2.6 as the engine size.

I understand why. 2.6 is the correct "displacement" per 2 crank revolutions, aka a 4-stroke piston engine.
It is just the RE uses more air to make the same power as a piston engine. That is why it is "less efficient". But is it smaller and has lots of other nice things - that is why we love 'em so much.

Power!!
I suppose most piston guys are happy to spend their days on Mustangs and small block Chevy's. And never need to look past the masses of V8 customers. Only a special few ever make the journey down the path less traveled to the world of Wankel.

On a social level, piston "people" and rotary "people"(and technicians) often segregate themselves from one another and sometimes have little experience with the other technology. Rather sad but that's how it goes.
Perhaps put another way; rotary people tend to understand the differences between the engines but piston people haven't typically taken the time to understand the differences.

Hey there you blogbastard did you get your ugly shoes back yet?
Sorry you can't use my new "Brake Brace" because you drive on the wrong side.
Do you think the RH and LH cars are exactly mirror image?
If they are we could mirror image the part. But I think there may be some differences because the pedals are still on the same side.
How can we tell?

Power!!
Hi Richard. Did you say you have a brake master cylinder brace available? Is there a thread on this? I checked your website and didn't see the product listed. I'd definitely be interested in one that would bolt directly to the OEM strut tower brace or shock tower itself.

Yes, I will start a thread next week when I have some pictures ready. A few are off the machines now and ready to go to beta testing. The rest will go out for anodizing. So we should be selling them in a week to 10 days.
You don't even have a shifter yet! That is supposed to be the first mod.

What do you mean the pedals ae on the same side? Well, they are the same relative to each other, but yes, the opposite side.
Solution 1 - you send me one, I'll cut and shut it to fit.
Solution 2 - you send me a drawing showing my what dimensions you need, then you send me one.
Solution 3 - you send me a drawing and we make one ourselves - under licence of course!
Now let me get on with doing the Tuning and reflashing software. I'm guessing you'll still be after a copy?
I got photo's of the 40,000 event - well just prior...
Cheers,
Hymee.
