Rotary can pull unlimited RPM depending what you put at it. I can find few builds wish I had one..

 

[TRAT]

Meant to say few builds I’ll post on here.

So what it is a engine no pistons, no cam, no valves, springs ect. It’s a triangular compression piston works off intake and exhaust. So way less moving parts and more RPM off rotation from intake to compression exhaust..

Kinda off topic but many years ago I had a’74 Mazda RX4 with the 13b Rotary and a 4 spd manual tranny. Ran ok and had a lot of power, but went through gas like a V-8.

To rich on fuel not sure altitude/elevation? That’s cool old car, Always been big V8 guy. But some of these kinda cars inspire me and think people need to bring them back. I don’t have a clue on tuning them and want to learn one day. Kinda cool history behind them how they evolved and sad for short time. I love my V8 vegetable juice but some these engines I think over looked.
