can we officially say 2nd jap golden age?

the s2k is supposed to be coming back soon, the 390z may be announced at the tokyo auto show, supra is definitely confirmed, turbocharged RX car confirmed, MR2 successor probable by 2020, the ND is god tier, NSX price drops likely due to poor sales, etc.

rotary tech would be quite good if more companies had R&D for it, but still unless they fix apex seals/drinking oil I"ll never buy one

>>17821694
Maybe you would understand if you owned a rotary car.

Rotary engines consume oil as part of their combustion cycle. There isn't any way around it, unless we go back to leaded gas (not even sure if this would work with any current technology).

The oil burning meme is blown way out of proportion. It is nothing like it's made out to be.

a turbocharged rotary hybrid would be awesome

torque fill from electric motors for lower rpm, boost for high

but i'm worried about the weight, if it's anywhere near affordable I hope this doesn't become a 3600lb pig

rotaries look so neat i want to meme them to be successful

Are you too retard to figure out how to reply to a specific post?

#17-8.2.1983
why yes, I am

With Mazda pioneering a way to ignite fuel without spark, maybe they're going to apply it to the rotary, an engine that was infamous for not burning the fuel like it's supposed to.

Maybe he does understand that it's part of the combustion cycle, he just doesn't care and would rather have a normal engine with no rotary weirdness.

>>17821694
>fix apex seals
i heard mazda is also working on a slew of newer and kind of expensive sensors to put into their vehicles (and possibly their rotary)

one of them being an advanced (and possibly actually working) anti-knock sensor
this might just alleviate blown seals altogether, but we'll have to wait and see™

It's officially happening again? How many times has this been now?

>>17822188
To be fair, the rotary was objectively superior to low-compression malaise era engines, but only during that timeframe. They were faster, made more power, got better fuel mileage, and lasted longer than domestics. The only problem was that there were also foreign cars on the market, which were better than both in all categories.

First of all the only cars I have ever owned have been rotaries. I love them but Mazda has been down this road many times before. I am not seeing ANY confirmation of a rotary in production.
> One opened his interview session by saying “no questions on rotary” and the engine was omitted from Mazda’s ‘Zoom-Zoom 2030’ roadmap.
>“We cannot improve the rotary engine to the current conventional engine emissions,” admitted Hitomi
This is not the age for a car that does poor with emissions. And sure, last year Mazda got a team of around 100 engineers to work on the design of the new rotary, but Mazda is a very small company and the longer they take the more it's going to cost them.

This article sounds like cherry picking for wishful thinking. Like many, I want Mazda to prove me wrong but I don't see the Rotary coming back.

>>17823419
If Mazda can pull off it's alternative ignition system and maximize fuel efficiency then I'd be willing to wager that it could come back to live another day.
What kills these engines in emissions is mostly due to the spark plugs being unable to fully ignite all fuel within the elongated combustion chamber.

This, GM's rotary project for the Vega/Monza/Vette was BTFO'ing all of their V-8's of the early onset smog shit, the Gas crunch killed it though, plus they were trying to engineer out all of the kinks so it was costing a fortune.

rotary engines require non-retards to survive

finicky about how they're run, finicky about what you run them on. drive it wrong and it dies like a brand new motor being revved to death under zero load before seeing a single oil change.

>>17830341
The actual fireblade you can buy at a dealership is still pretty trick though.

Granted, it's absolute garbage as a motorcycle you actually ride outside of the track, as it is with machines that use the driver as a living ballast, have less than half the grip of a car WITHOUT aero, and spin tiny engines at light speed to make as much power as economy car blocks and use low weight to turn out results. Comfort/convenience and absolute speed are mutually exclusive.

>>17830356
In all honesty though Honda needs to drop the fireblade and move to a v4 platform like the GP bike.

How fucking stupid is mazda? Rotary fanbois are the equivalent boomers still building flathead engines for power. Rotaries belong in strict performance applications only. They have no business being in a production car meant for any amount of practucaliry or reliability. They are literally the worst engine for either of those. They can be built to be wicked fast, and thats where they should stay. Keep them off the production line. Fucking rotary fuckbois.
