'More Info' is full of interesting reading and info, clips, great stuff! Love the 800hp boat sound.

'How to build...' looks very interesting as a 'hybrid' rotary-rotary car. It just might work...wish someone (Mazda) would try it.

The graph ws base on the OLD KKM 502 engine. Lots of stuff has changed since then.

But ahh, Hybrid Rotary engine ... Mazda has one, its just that it suck so much and I dont feel like carrying a Tank of very explosive gas in my trunk .... Any Rear imapct .....

Im sure theres alot more could be done to make Rotary to pump more power. but *Environment Friendly* I dont think so ...... Rotary has never been Envionrment friendly, one of the reasons we see this Side Exhaust Port Bullshit.
