  • FullBOOST Tech Files, Ep 1 ~ Rebuild and Bridgeport of a 13B rotary engine @ Mr Parts.
    We have started with a stripped down 1984 Mazda RX7 13BT engine, and will run through the steps involved in bridge porting the engine, then assembly, to the start up in its new home, a 1972 Mazda 808 (RX3).

    Having only worked on piston engines, this was very enlightening. I had basic knowledge of the internals of a rotary but now understand what makes a 2 and 3 rotor engine. You just gotta love the simplicity of it all. BTW, nice RX-3, as it is known here in the States.

      I have an s2k that I daily yet have always loved the rotary engine.
      Would need to be a secondary car as I couldn't cope not getting to work in the case of a rebuild.
      If only funds weren't an issue. :)

    OMG! Thank you! Such a nice build video. I used to have a 1973 Mazda RX 3 Wagon that the previous owner cut the roof off of, because he wanted a convertible! Soon after doing that, he discovered that the vehicle flexed way too much without the roof , so he had his local shop weld in a custom full roll-cage. Then he had the 12B rebuilt for high performance and did some minor suspension work. It had a Wink Mirror and DAMN! that thing was so much fun to drive, especially in the early eighties when the congestion wasn't too bad... Rotaries love to rev, not like pistons that have the whole: up, stop, down, stop BS. Rotaries, once they get going, just want to keep winding up. I remember the over rev buzzer all too fondly and miss my old, what some had termed, Road Warrior Car...
    Rotaries Rock!!!!

    What a marvel... Lots of delicate looking seals...I know they work well but Im still surprised. All in all definitely fewer parts than a normal piston engine. I really need to pick up a 13B or two and marry them together... This looks very easy and my understanding of the rotary has moved a bit further because of this engine rebuild video....and you just GOTTA LOVE a rebuild video that ends under the hood and running for us...SWEET... Nicely done!

    @ 22:49 you can hear why the rotary never "took off". Don't get me wrong. I absolutely LOVE these engines. That sound you hear is actually the engine losing a LOT of it's compression when the apex seals hit the plug holes. Fantastic video! thanks...

    However - for clarification to anyone not aware...
    When installing the oil control rings into the rotor, the notch side not only needs to go down, but the notch must align with the squared tab end of the spring.
    You were clear about the other side - the rounded end of the spring being positioned into one of the small holes in thew rotor, but you did not mention the notch needs to align with the spring as well.
    Thanks again for sharing!

    Thanks for the info, especially regarding the D-shaped exhaust port. I suspected that would be the best design, but I wasn't certain. I was also intrigued to see how you milled the faces of the rotors to prevent scuffing against the housings at high RPM. I plan to use this info to modify the tiny rotary engine in one of my RC cars...if I ever get that car up and running in the first place.
    I have a question, though: Are the scoops in the faces of the rotors really the best way to transfer the fuel charge from the cold side of the housing to the hot side of the housing? Or would it be better to have channels cut into the housing at the point of maximum compression, and use non-scooped rotors instead? It seems like non-scooped rotors would do a better job of thoroughly evacuating the exhaust gases, and also minimize port overlap regardless of the port design.

  • @justfishing6067
    @justfishing6067 5 років тому

    My first car was a first gen rx-7, i also got an A+ in "advanced" auto shop class in hs for rebuilding an engine for it...
    I remember how much "fun" getting those seals in place was, the corner and the side seals were a serious pita.
    Back then (96), there was not nearly as much available as there is now, however i spent lots of time browsing those mazda trix catalogs dreaming...
    Makes me almost want to pick up another one of those cars.
    And i think transmission assembly gel would work much better holding everything in place when assembling. ;)
    They even have different grades depending on how much hold you want vs temperature.

      Thats exactly what I just wrote in my comment, about 3 or 4 comments up ☝! But that is so true! I feel like I can build a Rotary after watching a couple people building them in different videos. The ONLY place where I would get mixed up at is when you have to start adding all the parts that attach to the engine, Like the A/C and all that, but even that looks slightly easy... depending on what your adding, because this is a clean N/A setup. But yea man.. . . I was thinking the same damn thing!
