That car is SWEEEEET! I cant wait to see his 2 rotor do the same thing next year. Ill laugh when the rotary is banned.

 

He is coming back next year with a lighter 13B powered car. When he wins again, I will laugh.

When he starts winning with a 10A PP, I will laugh harder!

 

10a PP! That would be neat!

But that 3 rotor is pretty damn sweet lookin'!

 

Get the F out it here .... there are H22 Hondas all over the spor and that is all good and dandy, but 20B Mazdas are all of a suden bad for competition ???

 

engine pics dont work

 

Blame whatever didlo admin blocked out n0pistons.com, not me.

 

300 RWHP would be pretty easy. In a streight line drag set up, he should be able to make right in the ballpark of 325-350, with a 13b. Lookin at about 300-325 with a 12a in full drag trim. All rotor of course.

Try flywheel hp.

 

NO! they will make that, i dont know what your thinking off but they will. When is the last time you built one of these? well i know because i own one. Mine doesnt make that much power, but then again mine isnt set up for drag racing. If you set one up for line racing you can achaive just under 350 out of a NA 13b.

350rwhp? The most achieved from a twin rotor is about 370hp at the engine with slide throttle bodies. Obviously, not your run of the mill monster or p port.

But, then again you must know because you own one. (though it doesn't make that much power)

 

ya heheaha. It doesnt. But i said ""In a streight line drag set up, he should be able to make right in the ballpark of 325-350"". And you just said that about 370 has been made. So ??? whats the deal?? I said something, then you said no, then i said yes, then you said yes... Am i missing something?
I will say it once again. In a streight line drag set up, he should be able to make right in the ballpark of 325-350. And I am talking using a P port a predator carb. Also if i made the housings that would go with the set up it would make 350 in a streight line. Take one corner and the float bowl etc. is out of wack.

Amazing!!

If his 3 rotor setup is banned or not, its F'n amazing the times he's ran with no turbo or NOS....Most of us have a hard time running 11's & 12's with big turbo's and in my opinion if he's capable of doing what he has we surely haven't seen the last of him

Rock on Mr. Padilla

 

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD!!

i was looking and i was wondering whats with that third gen?

also, any info if he ever came back with a 2 rotor / how good did it do?

 

So the 20B DOES fit...


hmmm


And I just saw one on ebay for 2500..................

 

I just saw his car on Speed Vision the other day. They interviewd the Honda drivers and they were all saying he has an unfair advantage and stuff, lol. The had a lot of RX-7s on that show actually. It was that High Rev Tuners show or whatever.

JESUS CHRIST!
I mean Padilla... yeah...

Not to open a can of worms, but in racing it is very common to compare and classify rotaries by multiplying their displacement by 2.0; sometimes 2.2....

So a 2.0L 20b x 2.0 = 4.0 liter.

I will be racing in touring car club's 2.2l challenge and HAD to run a 12a. 1.1L 12ax 2.0 = 2.2L. I'll race Acura Integra 2.0L's, Type R's, 510's with L20B's, 90's Toyota Celicas, ...etc...

 

I've seen his car at the local track.

He was the first rotary mechanic that i broght my very first rotary car, back when i used to have my 2nd gen.

 

Is this a pic of jesus old engine? or whos is this? Very nice, but im confused as to which carb set up that is. It appears to be a 40 IDA but those are too small and this one looks bigger. ??

Weber did make 3bbl downdrafts, primarily for the porsche flat 6's, which is what it looks like Jesus is using.....

Mazdatrix had one for sale in early 90's, with side port manifold for 12a. . . . which I bought it . . .

Considering 51mm is the agreed upon minimum size for a 13b peripheral port, I'd guess it's along that size or probablly bigger since all drag needs is top end . . . .

 

Well lets see, the 787b made 700 NA horsepower out of a 26b in fuel-saving endurance trim. Half that is 350 for the 13b.... so in an all out, no holds barred drag engine, 350rwhp is WELL within possibilities


And as for the displacement, yea, the rotary does fire twice as often for the same displacement as a 4-stroke piston engine... so perhaps it should be classified as a 4.0L even though it is technically a 2L. Bah, bring in the 2 rotor and kill the competition anyways! hahaha

btw, that car is badass

 

Is that a 3-barrel IDA? I have never seen one in a car, only in the Weber book.

They are so rare!

 

thast like saying if your running 10psi of boost making 200hp, at 20psi youll be making 400hp.

 

no its not ... each of the rotors on a 26B should be putting out the same power. if you could build a 13b to the exact same spec as two 787B rotors it should make about half the power ... if not more as the ecentric shaft will be shorter and more rigid etc. etc.

Of course it woun't be 100% accurate but the results should be of the correct order.
