Straight Pipe mock up.

I know that sound all too well. Until recently, Pac Performance was literally 3 streets away from my house (I live in an area zoned semi industrial); on a quiet night, we could hear the rotary's screaming...

Pac performance have the world's fastest rotary at this time. Australians and Puerto Ricans have a battle to be the fastest rotary on earth.

Looking great! Jeez- I wish I could get my hands on one of those to play with!

Thanks,
Keep looking you never know where one will show up.
This model sits lower in the kart and I think it is going to rip I am going to start out with a 30mm Mikuni and then work up to a 34mm Mikuni the ports in this engine are way bigger than the other one even with me porting the other engine out we will see in time.

I have everything ready to test out the new Wankel Engine but it is raining pretty hard and I don't want to get my a$$ soaked and spin out on the road and wind up on someone elses front yard I will give it a shot tomorrow

funny side note:
There are wankel engines that are specifically designed to be mounted on a kart
that one for example:

Aixro XR50

And there are even ones made by Wankel AG

I'm baffled!

Anyways, your's look much cooler

[Desertduler]

Those are way cooler than my old Wankels and they are watercooled and about 48hp but they cost 5,000 US Dollars or more and they really haul way more than my engines would.
Now you know where to get one they are made in your country.

 

[itsid]

But your's look like a giant nema 17 stepper motor on steroids, I love it!

And everytime I read "prices on request" I do know that I do not need to request

I assume they're more like 6k and EUR not USD...
even if I had that kind of money to spend, it'll surely not be for a kart engine

How would you like drive this Wankel powered kart?

 

[Bando]

I would like to know how an engine of this size can produce 50HP.

 

[itsid]

very much indeed...
How would you like pay this thing?

"Content owner has not made this video available on mobile devices"???

Did you specifically opt out of allowing mobile devices from being allowed to play your youtube videos? Might want to check your youtube settings... half the videos I watch are on my phone.

I would like to know how an engine of this size can produce 50HP.

It does if you look close at the engine there is a vacuum operated valve that opens another intake port for high RPM output that lets that engine breathe this engine has the latest in Rotary Engine technology and you can even order it with ceramic apex seals.
Remember a Rotary has a power stroke every 360 degrees of output shaft rotation and all the cycles are 270 degrees they are a four cycle engine and they have a flat torque curve this engine is just under 300cc's some two strokes will put out even more HP than this engine but they lack the flat curve that the Wankel has.

If I had the money indeed I would buy the engine and a kart and all the gear LOL! shall I go on?

Are you referring to the last video I posted?
It is not mine but one I took off of youtube.

 

[itsid]

yes, and the next step is "this video is not available on apple devices" or something

Okay if we think "If you won 30 million" topic, then of course, three to be precise go kart, mini bike and one for a reverse trike.
if I had just the money for that little engine to spend for fun purposes,
I guess I would NOT.

PS still, your's cooler

Yes 30 Million that would be great!
Thanks for the compliment sid, I am going to test out that engine tonight so we will see how it goes and if it is not too hot in the desert this weekend I will put some new tires on my kart and head out to the lakebed for some jetting adjustments and testing.

Desertduler I don't want a XR50, I want one of yours. I like the sound of yours most.

BTW: could you take some pictures of your wankels and write a little description of each one?

Thanks Bando,
Yes I will take some pictures of the engines and tell something about them.

Oh my god I'm jealous! Those rotary engines are awesome and they give so much power for their size. That thing must be really loud though.
