they are reliable. people don't know how to take care of them. they are different, not less reliable. you have to treat them like turbo cars. and most people don't know how to build them. i have a friend with almost 200K on his s4 fc3s on the original motor. that 1.3 is capable of 300whp n/a with p-port and supporting mods.

howcome I don't hear about this engine being a craze? or any advertisements pertaining to it, being rather more effecient than pistons. or I might not think of it that often since the majority of the time we run around in piston driven engines.

because it doesn't have vtec and it got a bad rap from idiots. porting them makes them to that extreme makes them horribly unreliable. but it would be no differen than a full race built b18c1 pushing unstreetable n/a hp. but if you know how to take care of them them are reliable. think about it. diesel motors are better than gas motors and more reliable. but how come you don't see diesel advertised either? it's not as efficient as a gas motor because the rotors problem with emissions. they have to burn alot of gas to to make up for the nox. but a simple safc lean out will net you atleast 7 whp, and 3-4 mroe mpg putting them on par with your average bseries motor. it's just that pistons are more popular. but rotaries put out some crazy numbers and as long as you have supporting fuel mods will rev like a mothefucker. they lose alot of energy in the exhaust hence why they respond to turbos so well. look at the number they make with 2 liter 20b's etc. or what n/a quad rotor motors make.

The rotary engine has a modular design, meaning you can sandwich as may chambers together as you want as long as you have the center shaft.
Take standard RX's which have only 2 rotors giving them 1.3 litres of displacement and you get around 200hp stock (on turbo model). Take a 3Rotor motor from a cosmo, convert it to standard (only came auto) and you got the sickest power/litre around.
Anyone ever see the 3rotor in a hachi? Defines what a 2.0L rotary can do...
Search "3 Rotor Hachi" at either youtube or google video.
