there is not a single north american diesel vw that would lose to any sort of rx7 that is in running condition.

what sort of declaration is that? I'm honestly confused.

You're going to tell me that every single North American diesel VW would win against any sort of running RX7?

I better take my 79 four door to the drag strip to take all the ricer's money away.

are they that slow???  does the 1.6 need to be tuned?

or... are you talking about when the rotary engine wears out and runs like complete crap? (at about 100,000kms)

Cool......so I can go race an RX-7 and win? :wink: I new a guy that put a RX-7 rotary in a vanagon and could easily do 100mph, bugged me that the vanagon started out as a 1.5D and he changed it. Much more power than a rabbit.

Wait....maybe he meant there's no RX-7 that would lose to a diesel. :!:
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

but we can all dream  :lol:

rotary engines are junk after 100,000km anyways :P the tip of the rotary part wears out, then compression goes out the window

btw smokey thats a nice rx7... a real starving student right there!!!  :roll:  :lol:

That's not his car, thats a car i stole from google images  :oops:
his looks a bit like that but its boxy, its an 80 something but he's definitely rebuilt it. My point was that those rx7's don't look slow (hence the sarcasm about not holding 100km/hr)

i meant to say "really old rx" but i typo'd "really hold rx"

having owned cars involed in the discussion as well as both n/a and turbo versions of both i can honestly say that there is absolutly no N/A 1.6d anywhere can take a stock rx-7.....

and i'd have to say that there are not many turbo 1.6s that can take a mild n/a rx7....

sorry guys.....i love diesels to......but lets get real.....

i know guys that have acheived 14.9 in the 1/4 mile in a n/a fc3s rx7 with just intake and a very nice header/exhaust......tstock engine....

i know that there are quick 1.6s out there...but most wont do it.....

and lets no even start about the turbo rotarys.....

and i have had 5 rx7s so far, love them all....smooth as whip cream....and they all had more then 150,000 k on them....2 went to 220,000 plus.... geting a beating all the time......

and the " rotary part" that wheres out is called a seal.....and when rebuilding you can purchase much stronger seal for heavy duty apps...

only 3 rotating parts FTW......look up what rotarys can do on youtube...

and you dont know until you own one.....

if the rotary engines are so great i wonder why auto manufacturers haven't adopted them? (except mitsubishi...)

Actually, I thought it was "Apex seal" if you want to be technical
(and I usually do)

and all of your praises for engine design are a credit to German Engineering.

the proper name of the engine concept is the "Wankel Rotary" engine,
developed by a German for use in airplanes.

Being of German origin, I certainly respect the engine,
and there are a few distinct advantages over piston engines:
(Very few rotating parts, and not having to transfer the energy from linear to rotational, therefore most awesome power per displacement numbers from any engine mass manufacturered)

But there are also some negatives:
Apex seals are the weak link in the motor, regardless of what you say
No matter what you do, if you open up the exhaust, the engine sounds like CRAP
And no matter what, you are driving a japanese car.
I wont go off on the other tangent of why German cars are the best in the world,
but suffice it to say, the Japanese did what they always do: They are the world's best re-engineers.
But the Germans are still the world's best Engineers.
