Rotary Engine Explained: How Do Ports Work?

  • Rotary engines like the 13B found in the Rx7 rely on ports to deliver air to the combustion chamber, you modify these ports to make power. Matt goes over how port timing works given each port be it a streetport, bridgeport, or any sort of port.

    Can you guys do a video on basic rotary maintenance? Like what to do daily, monthly, yearly, what to watch out for and what to expect. That would be super helpful.

      oil/filter changes every 5,000km. places say to use royal purple but it is JUNK. but oil opinions are everywhere. I used mobil 1 with zero issues but they say not to use REAL synthetics so a refined mineral (group 3 are fine) but a PAO/Ester like redline, mobil1, motul v300 they say to avoid. never had issue but that is there. so to be safe use a group 3 synthetic
      if you run B9/10 plugs every 5,000km needs changing or the standard plugs last 10-15K
      thats about it man. its no diff to a normal engine.
      you do have to top up the oil about 100mls a week as it uses some oil and mremixes it with fuel to add lubrication so that is the only big difference.

    Hello guys just discovered your channel, we are planning to be a Rx7 13b bridge port. Very factual information and it has helped us on the search. love the content! you guys deserve a lot more credit! looking forward to the upcoming videos keep it up.

    Hey dude I really need help, I just had a act clutch installed and my flywheel resurfaced and the pedal now is crazy soft and it catches almost by the floor. I tried adjusting it but no matter what the catch point doesn't really raise much. Is it normal for a new clutch to catch lower? To be softer? And what are factory specs for the pedal?

    the word explosion is forbidden! it's a controlled combustion.

      You are correct sir lol. Speaking off the head with no script.

    Fun video, there are 2 explosions or power strokes per revolution of the eccentric shaft on a standard 13b.. so 9500 rpm = 19000 power strokes 😅👍🏼

    • @sandervanderkammen9230
      @sandervanderkammen9230 4 роки тому

      BUT A 6-cylinder 2-stroke engine has 6 power strokes per crankshaft rotation.
      At 9,500 rpm that is 57,000 power strokes per minute.

    since we are about porting. How do you think Mazda is going to make the new rotary engine for the upcoming RX-9 to have some form of a starting/stopping built into the engine?
    since we all know the intake, compression, combustion and exhaust is still happening. In a normal engine the engine will just simply turn off. But there are no valves to speak off in a rotary engine, unless they employ some sort of valve before the ports.

    Even though rotaries have a lot of problems, it still just amazes me how Wankel engines work. I hope Mazda can improve their engines and finally bring an RX-9 to production. I know AIE is also working on Wankel rotaries too, so let's hope they bring some rotary action as well

    so i had this amazing offer to buy an rx8 foor 600 euro, the only thing wrong with it is the compression. could you make a video on how te rebuild a renisis 13b

    Rich idle makes the brap brap noise not the port configuration

      No. Overlap causes the noise.
