She's a beauty, if I didn't have a garage full i'd be more interested. Out of curiosity what's she worth? Go on tempt me, I'm a yes man

No Dramas, i'm on the coast about 25 min away. Pm me if I can be any help.

I have a set of s1 coils somewhere, what side of town are you Peter.

wtf Main Entry: dis·place·ment Pronunciation: \(ˌ)dis-ˈplā-smənt, di-ˈsplā-\ Function: noun Date: 1611 1 : the act or process of displacing : the state of being displaced 2 a : the volume or weight of a fluid (as water) displaced by a floating body (as a ship) of equal weight b : the difference between the initial position of something (as a body or geometric figure) and any later position c : the volume displaced by a piston (as in a pump or an engine) in a single stroke; also : the total volume so displaced by all the pistons in an internal combustion engine (as in an automobile) 3 a : the redirection of an emotion or impulse from its original object (as an idea or person) to another b : the substitution of another form of behavior for what is usual or expected especially when the usual response is nonadaptive —called also displacement activity, displacement behavior no matter what it's applied to displacement is still..........displacement petrol, diesel, rotar, impellor ect it has only one meaning when applied to a pump/engine Different bore and stroke formulas can have equal displacement but vastly different performance, I know amazing hey. seriously fella.

Some folk think you can.. http://mikesdriveway.com/misc/rotor.doc

Thx Gary, that really shows the downside of it's design.....Although capable of large hp it doesn't achieve the result as efficiently as the piston engine. it's just can't pump the same volume as efficiently even with centralized ports. Not much fun when the medium is $1.50ltr That's all I wanted to know, Thx.

Gary, out of curiousity did you cfm a comparable piston engine? If so what was it's efficiency.

Sounds about right, that'd be the way I'd go about.

This has been done I'd guess, but I'll ponder anyway. 3 shaft revolutions to 1 revolution of the rotors (full cycle).. intake, compression, ignition and exhaust chambers all taken care of by the elliptical design of the of the gearset between e-shaft and rotor housed in a "round" block. it runs a 3-1 crank to rotor (rotation) ratio it has 3 rotor faces it creates 4 chambers, via it's elliptical movement, intake, compression,ignition,exhaust. it uses ports, not mechanical valves. with every 3 crank rotations it does 1 full rotor cycle (intake, compression,ignition,exhaust) So it creates 4 chambers with every 3 crank revolutions or if you prefer it creates 4 chambers with every full revolution of the 3 rotor faces.. Mmmm I think the only way to accurately compare the wankel with a 4 stroke would be to compare cfm @ ?? rpm (rpm measured at the rotor).... for efficiency. 1 full combustion cycle with every 3 turns of the crank (or full cycle of the rotars). It's a wankel, i'm not game to label it anything else.

I'd say because pistons and rotars both use compression and ignition they're very similar in principle ie: both basic combustion engines. The "wankle" is nothing more than a renamed elliptical engine/pump re-engineered for modern internal combustion uses. There's nothing new or modern in it's design, in fact the principles it uses outdate the piston combustion engine by a long way. Why was it not employed as much as the piston engine? simply because it is not as efficient in either application (pump/engine) Cheap to build though.

Tighten your belts, if there is no adjustment left... then buy new belts. If your belts were done 2 yrs back and have no visible signs of wear/damage they should be fine for a long time yet. Do Not lube them.

Fine.......bothered I am not.

If that's the case I think you'll be creating more problems for yourself not less.

Good effort, that'd be a fun drive.. total cost including all parts, labour and dyno? My guess is if you throw that kind of coin at a gts-t you'd still be 100kw behind

When all else fails....gravity bleed.

Usually the problem is a hairline crack in the coilpack body which allows the spark to follow the path of least resistance and arc to the head. Remove coil cover, move car to a dark place, start car, get someone to rev it while you try to spot which coil is arcing out....replace.

What do you mean by wont bleed Fatz? You release the nipple and nothing comes out or you're bleeding the bitch but can't get all the air out of the system?

I have driven from Perth to Melb 3 times, all round trips. The first time it was the eighties in a clapped out hq wgn, I took 2 gerry cans (1 fuel 1 water) , a spare tyre and a fan belt Second was in a s1 xj6 jag, I took water and fuel Last trip was in a 1964 studebaker wagonaire, same deal, 2 x Jerry cans a spare tyre and a fan belt... + toolbox obviously. First time out was fun, the roads were still a bit dodgy back then so it was an adventure of sorts. 2nd and 3rd times it was too easy making it little more than boring apart from the road houses. No breakdowns or flat tyres. I did almost get mowed down by many road trains...BASTARDS The ocean road should be fun, be thankful it's at the start of your trip if it was near the end I'd doubt you'd bother. Nothing hard or dangerous about it now, you'll do it easy, then wonder why you did it at all. The Sturt still sounds exciting to me.

Share? Not likely, I have to avoid too many muppets as it is.

I generally use the "cc" method myself. Easy and fairly accurate for volume/displament measuring in the shed. Hardly the thing for modern automotive engineering though...I guess

Quoted for fun. Birds ode to the wankel....truly epic. Mmm serious stuff... If you're intelligent enough to recognise the futility of the argument why continue? Serious discussions re: hammers/screwdrivers and the internet rarely equate to anything of value (hardly a revelation) Yawn, thx for the read..the insults were amusing.

Only if the battery has been shampoo'd.

Agreed it was a bit difficult to understand.. How's that? easier to follow I hope. I'm helping aren't I?

First one was a shake, the second felt and sounded like someone ran into the side of my house. Yes i went and looked.
