Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
poor car.I can't really imagine doing that to my own car unless of course it was going to the junk yard anyways, or I could afford a new motor. But ----, not only does this guy need a new motor now, but he's fucked up his exhaust too. *shrug* Guess he didn't really want the car.

So, someone enlighten me, since I know oh so little about engines, what kind of damage results from that kind of abuse? What would be the expected status of the engine? Blown? Garbage? Salvagable?

OMG, I think I'm sold on the rotary!! That thing took a beating like no other. I think they should have done that while driving it. Doing burnouts and ----. They sounded like a bunch off hillbillies.

rotary engines take high rpms well... but they dont seem to be very friendly w/ detonation and carbon buildup. i've seen my friends go through atleast 7-8 rotard motors in the past 2 years.. its rediculous... they keep popping...

NA rotaries are almost impossible to kill! seriously.. turbos are a different story .. lol ... ------- unreliable crap! hehee they will rev to about 9k most. The 20b was built for boost, it was also built for smooth power. Its redline is no where NEAR 14k, more about 8k. Even the old NA 13b's only revved to 9k. Anything more than that and you hard to upgrade internals. Thats a big misconcpetion about rotaries, everyone thinks they can rev super high with no mods. But with a 13b, you can easily get 500hp out of them, with a 20b ... well thats all whole nother .7 litre. Thats almost 40% more power. So you do the math
