Rotary Delorean

[umiami80]

This is pretty cool concept, i would rock it, but make more power if I could.

Rotary Delorean

Oh yeah there is one mistake

this engine as the 20B, it is a 1.962 liter engine

There has been a new way to measure Rotarys it is actually 3.924.


The 13b is actually a 2.6 and so on, even the stock original Mozda was 2.0

dude...that was schweeeet

Very sweet! Makes me want me to get back working on my 4G63 powered TR7 .

Though, I am surprised that they did not talk about true potential of that Mazda motor. That thing can make almost 50% more power than RX7 TT?

That was on here last month.

dude, have you got any pics of this TR7? I'd like to see that.

That thing is sweet.

That's a pretty sweet car... It's unfortunate that they went normally aspirated for the 3 rotor, and not with the twin turbo one. I would imagine it's because of size constraints and the fact that the engine is in the rear, not enough airflow for the cooling that would be necessary for a turbo rotary. But if it was, it'd put out 450-500hp easily. Now that would be awesome. As it is... I'd rather have a BPU 3rd gen RX7.

I'd roll in that.

There were two other mistakes: they painted it, and they're asking $32K for it. COUGH

One of my mechanic buddies got to drive a DeLorean when they first came out. I asked him how it was. He got a wistful, kinda far-away look in his eye, and sounding heartbroken said, "It felt like a kit car.... that hadn't been done very well...."

I had a couple them in my album, but they got deleted because it was not a DSM… I guess, just like the DSM Shootout, this site is not very “DSM powered” friendly .

You can see more here:

I already have the proper RWD tranny (Mighty Max truck/Starion hybrid) and most other parts to complete this project. All I need now is some free time that is not dominated working on the Green Machine .

Uhhhhh.... N/A 20B's can make upwards of 500 horsepower also, while not being as concerned for heat as a 72 vacuum line nightmare, or dealing with all the heat that's from a huge T88-34D or similar turbo setup.

You drive an RX-7 and you don't know that? Any racing team out there right now that's using an RX-7 platform are all using naturally aspirated 3 rotors (JGTC RE Amemiya, a few SCCA GT1 RX-7's, etc etc).


Sidenote: The car is painted because I'm more than willing to bet that the car had been in a fender bender. It's next to impossible to fix stainless steel body work without cannibalizing another Delorean.

Hey, know-it-all, what's a Mozda?

........... ......... DOH!

Any more imput than just that ?

I hate when guys toss out numbers and specs, but can't use English in it's most basic forms.

Ever hear of a TYPO??

BTW where you put it's, you should have put its. Basically you just said "but can't use English in it is most basic forms."

wiseass.

Heheheheheee....
or use the contraction for "it is" when they mean "its".

hehehehe. It never fails, we always step in it.

 

[Ace140]

Im kinda confused... it does have a twin turbo setup...

Maybe you didnt bother readin the article?

Well that was a cheap shot. SORRY but I am human and bleed and mis spell like the rest of ya's. Again the way the MAZDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rotary was measured was measured as if it was a 2 stroke engine, in actuality it is a 4-stroke, and the displacement is actually double of what is reported. AS you know each rotor has three chambers similar to the output of 3 pistons, so a 20B would be like having 9 pistons and so on. I know of some races who actually retro-fit carborators on their Rotarys, saw a 2G with a fully built 13B with a HUGE Holley carb, car makes over 600 whp and doesn't rely on the vaccume hose nightmare, just needs to load the fuel up (why when you see a carbed rotary and it sounds like shit then all of a sudden it has the fuel loaded in such a huge carb) and then just makes reliable power, less prone to fuel starvation and detonation. The engine of this particular setup has lasted 5 years with a 60-1, fully drag of course so not a daily driver, but the tranny was rebuilt 5 times so there is always a weak point, ####er IS fast though and sounds like a nitro garbash truck.

Ok, let me specify that I meant _streetable_ 500 horse. If you're trying to get that much N/A it'd require a large periphreal port job which would rev too high, be too loud, use too much gas, and cut the life of the engine at least in half.

The stock twins on the jspec 20B would be plenty sufficient for 500 horse... It wouldn't require a large single turbo at all. Just enough airflow in the back for the cooling system wouldn't be possible with a rear engine setup.

That TR-7 looks like it's going to be really nice. One of the most comfortable cars I ever sat in was a TR-8 at the auto show in Frisco one year.

Amazing you'd not want to keep pushing that Triumph/Volvo/Peugeot ( think those were the culpable suspects, or was it Renault?) 4 around. Hell, I'm sure you could even find a Dolomite DOHC head for it for a song, these days.....

When England got the TR-5 with fuel injection, America got the TR-250 with Stromberg carbs.... and apologies.

Some of us will never understand the Stag engine, when they already had the BOP V-8 to choose from....

What is so amazing about that? Keeping “all original” TR7 is a waste of time, they are not worth anything to anyone. But even with that Sprint head, I am looking at around 150-180 hp in best of scenarios (after spending more than 4G63 transplant would cost). With 4G63 we are talking about conservative 300-400hp (or upwards of 600 hp, if I really want to), that is more than some of the wildest TR8s, and ~80-100lbs less weight!
