none of this hopefully :nyaanyaa:

Haha, that's funny.

I've always thought that it was a bit disingenuous to claim that a 13B is a 1.3L and a 20B a 2L. I say there are 3 chambers in each rotor, not 1, so a 13B is 3.9L and a 20B is 6L. Power output seems to be more commensurate with this theory but the rotary still has the weight and physical dimensions advantage when compared to other engines of the same size.

In a standard piston engine (an Otto or Diesel engine), displacement is calculated by multiplying the number of cylinders in the engine with the area of a piston and the length of the stroke. With circular pistons, displacement can be calculated from the bore diameter and stroke using the following formula:

displacement = pi /4 * bore^2 * stroke * number of cylinders

Displacement in a Wankel engine is much more complicated. For instance,Mazda's 13B is a two-rotor engine with combustion chambers of roughly 0.65 liters in displacement (difference in max vs. min combustion chamber volume). At 100% volumetric efficiency, 0.65 liter per rotor face * 3 faces per rotor * 2 rotors gives a total displacement of 3.9 liters. It takes 3 rotations of the eccentric shaft to complete one engine cycle, however. In 2 rotations of the eccentric shaft, comparable to 2 crankshaft rotations on a 4-stroke piston engine, the 13B would displace 2.6 liters. Mazda advertises the 13B as a 1.3 liter engine, which is the volume displaced during a single rotation of the eccentric shaft.

the funny thing is, they are pretty much dirt cheap these days.....i saw guy had a beautiful yellow one for sale for around 10-13 grand?? seriously, lux interior + 20b....what more can you ask for

I know - they are sooo cheap now - I can't beleive that they are so hard to sell that the price has come down that much. Doesn't bother me cause I am keeping my baby for ever.

You know - the early Cosmos - the 12A ones - are fetching BIG $$$ now - Hoopefully in 20 years time mine will be worth a bit .... ha ha ha !

Car started today - no issues at all. According to Race Solutions it sounds 'tough'

Matt has tuned it - run in tune - no idea if they have put it on the dyno - I expect not, until it has been run in and proper tune.

Maroun is finishing off the air box and I pick up tomorrow ! Yay !

YAY !

Got the Cosmo back today. It's running a very safe run in tune and RPM is limited to 4500 - I don't think they trust me - ha ha ha

First thing I noticed was that it was way louder than it was before - all the twin turbo junk off and with the nice big single, free flowing dump etc makes a hell of a difference. Before - it sounded like a straight six - now it sounds like a rotor. Bigger ports helps too. Its sounds tuff - Nice.

The boys at Race Solutions & Hit Man did a fantastic job - they wouldn't let me take it until everything was just right.

And Nick (Blitz) - guess what the wastegate dumps to ------- did someone say screamer ???

Had a small problem with the Bosche 044 - doesn't go in the tank - it's an external one - my bad. Not to worry - the boys are ging to knock up a dual Walbro in tank system. I don't need the extra fuel yet. This will happen after its run in and gets a final tune.

Boost is limited to 5 PSI at the moment - and I get that at 2500RPM

Very happy with the result and will be even more happy in a couple of weeks :D

The running in bits the pain ,only got 270k's on mine, did first service today and of to Newcastle via the putty and back down through gosford on the old road tomorrow rough figgers gives me near another 500k's close to second service .Matt did a runin tune on mine fortnight ago .Maroun showed me your car and told me what they had done to it lot of custom work in thet manifold

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.

      I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛

      RB25DET NEO block number

      By MBS206 · Posted

      So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
