I'm sure my jbody woulnt last at 6 grand for half that time...sheesh. Gottaa love rotarys

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

wow. I don't really get why they would do that unless they have the money to get another motor. They did say it had a blown rotor but still, I would have spun the tires until it blew. At least they caught the fire and put it out... lol.

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

maybe it wasnt blown that thing lasted for a long time


haha the exhaust was so hot it was glowing and then it ------- caught on fire at the end thats crazy

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

I can't say it was very smart, but definately something we all would like to do someday. (If this was honda-tech I could put a thumbs up or something) :P

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

The funny thing is I think he forgot to lock the radiator cap down. I think it would have gone a lot longer if it didnt overheat. I was just waiting for the coolent to catch on fire, that would have been some funny ---- to see that thing go up in front of the house and next to his other car. Good stuff

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

Had the radiator cap been on, it would have revved at 9 grand for a REALLY long time. :) NA rotaries are almost impossible to kill! seriously.. :( turbos are a different story .. lol ... ------- unreliable crap! >:( hehee

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

That was some crazy ----. lol The exhaust rocked. ;D

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

yeah i heard something similar from this rx7 owner. he was telling me that with a triple rotary motor from japan(forgot the engine code, sorry), your ---- will rev to 14k no problem. i was like wtf... thought he was full of ----. but then i heard that from another rx7 owner, and figured its probably true. those motors are crazy, plus they are only 1.2 liters i think.

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

that was a 13b.. ie 1.3L the 3 rotors are 20B's.... 3 rotors dont play..... easily 400HP outta a 20B

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

that video was long and boring :P my boy showed me a video of a 500+ hp na 4 rotor :o

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.

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

it probably would have kept running if he had the radiator cap onnn.

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

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?

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

it was a rotary so the kinds of things that get broken are differnt on cylinder engines. I'm not sure what type of ---- happened, video still downloading.

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

I know it's a rotary. It's an FC, I love those cars. I'm not completely blonde!! :P

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

lol everything on honda-tech ends up here in like 1 day-2 weeks

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

in that case... blown coolant seals from overheating as well as warped housings....... i guess since the motor probably overheated and locked up instead of slinging apart..there probably wouldnt be much damage in the way of things physically breaking... but for sure.. the coolant seals are gone.. and the housings are warped.. so.. its a boat anchor

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

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...

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

no rotary will rev that high without a new eccentric shaft, race bearings, and hardend stationary gears. Not to mention the oil mods you need. Basically they were full of ----. :) 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 ;)

Sorry I don't own a honda and I'm not part of that site... oh well

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

Thats one way to piss off neighbors

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

very well stated

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

i didn't say anyhting about you i simply said everything that is onhonda-tech ends up here in 1 day - 2 weeks later

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

I kept looking for the boost guage, then I reallized no turbo.
The I was kinda impressed, then I reallized that pretty much any old toyota 4 banger could hold its redline for that long at idle ( idle = no load ).

Still funny to watch, I bet a turbo would have died in 1/10th the time, then again, maybe not, idle = no load = no boost.

Re:Guy blowing up an rx7 motor....damn takes some abuse
 

lol "whats flying everywhere?? *slows the engine down to 5k RPM" Oh coolant? *revs it back to 9k RPM*" LMAO

didnt he have a starion too?
