Why is it not possible? the M5 has a 8000+rpm redline, so it could probably rev to 10,000 rpm. Its built to rev that high, you dont see many road going V8s revving to 8000rpm. Piston engines will rev higher than rotaries, you cant argue that, look at F1. Rotaries self destruct at over 12k-13k.

I'm going to just go out and say that this is the most retarded thread I've seen in a while. It sounds like this genius saw the tachometer that went to 9.5k and said "wow i bet 13 k would be even more super-sweet! Then I'll get some NOS and a giant wing!"
There is no point in trying to get to 13k, as the fuel map tapers off as it is near 9k rpm, and the guys over at racing beat had to re-do it just to get some more power for a couple hundred rpm's past that. You would have no power up in that range, of course if you found some way for the e-shaft to not warp and blow up your engine.

AMerican Rotary
This link will show you first hand what excessive RPM's will do if not set up properly
and what else can really screw up you Rotary, like droping a nut through the intake

Fotr those of you too lazy to look for it your self
"If you look closely you can see the teeth on the gears are twisted. This is from extremely high RPM's
"
"This is what a spun bearing does to the shaft. The copper area is from the bearing.

wow.
thats crazy....
this thread getting some people hyped up.
when it comes to pistons in the formula one, they have high high HIGH!! compression heads that make the thing go boom boom real hard and fast
WHO SAW SCHUMACHER'S LAST RACE!!! yay![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
wonderfull start
ok, well, i think when it comes to rotory, the 9500rpm fuel cut off should be enough for any lover. i learned that if you do have 10+rpm, then your going to have soooooo fast moving parts, with BMW style maintenance.
by the way, i checked it out... peripheral ports for the 13b=1k mile life.... wee! thats what i heared. here, ill attach the link, but i cant find it.

There are a couple of things that allow an F! engine to rev so high. The main thing is the stroke. It is very short. The pistons are also very small and very light. An S2000 engine at 9500 rpms has a faster piston speed than an F1 engine at 18000 rpm's due to it's stroke. Think about that one for a while.

the thing about the f20c is.... well, its honda. they always manage to do something amazing with their engines. but then again, its not all about rpm or neetness. sometimes its all about pure bread force of thrust.
