Hydrogen Power and Mazda 9 Rotary Engine

Seems like a perfect time for everyone to call out "Allie Allie Oxen Free". Seriously.

I don't consider it an insult, Steve. You use it as if it were. You're using it as an insult.

Well Darin, anyone who asks another man to suck his balls obviously has a different way of thinking than I do.

Who asked whom to suck their balls, Steve?

Are you kidding ? This is the most interesting discussion of the Wankle that I've ever heard !

The problem with hydrogen is its gives shit for power output. Yea they got a hydrogen RX-8 in japan but it makes far less power. I'll stick to good 'ol fashioned gasoline, and I don't give a shit how much it consumes. I drive the car for fun, not for simplying going from A to B.


Oh and BTW, I don't know very many chicks that drive an RX-8, all the owners I've ever met are males. Hell most chicks can't even drive stick.

I can drive a stick, I prefer. Along with coffee and cigs, keeps me awake.

It was you asking me to suck your balls, Darin. I can't say that I've ever asked a man to do that to me.

1. Current sealing technology, silly boy! I guess I gave you too much credit.
2. No net search required. The source of my information is from fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science coupled with my practical knowledge of engine technology. Maybe you can “google” some of the terms that I used and prove to yourself that some of us are capable of original thought.

Wow I got a neg rep for this post?

[glockmail]

As well as this one. Wow.

I didn't say that it didn't work, just that it's inefficient, as in consuming too much fuel and not burning it completely.

Wow- you need a LOT of education about engines (not to mention basic English). Efficiency is only measured one way: work done / heat energy of the fuel.

He can disagree all he wants, but he'll be driving fewer miles with his hard earned dollar.

Why would you dig this up? Thought you wanted to be here and avoid confrontations? Wasn't that your bill of goods?

Me, avoid confrontation? I was just reviewing my last reps, is all. Lighten up, Teach.

Look, I like you and if you don't know that by now you never will. Coming back and digging up a post that refers to an administrator is not the way to segue back.

BTW, I don't find your condescending use of 'teach' cute in this context.

I dunno. I mean, I'm scared of Mazda; after dealing with my RX8. Although I bet MOST car makers try to avoid warranty coverage of their products. I've had a LOT of crap to put up with on the rx8 re: getting warranty coverage.

For that reason, I'll likely never buy another 'new' mazda. I'm scared of the quality of worksmanship. Another mazda thing that bugs me: They seem to think adding power to a car automatically reduces the subjetive handling capability of the car.

Sucks to hear that; I've had nothing but smooth sailing every time I've had warranty or recall issues. Then, mine was an 05, not the dreaded 04. And also, the color has been scientifically proven to be better than yours.

Why did he add a turbo to it? 93 RX7s were all turbo'd from the factory. Did he do a single turbo conversion (from the stock twin-turbo set up)?

not auto tech enough to be able to answer.....when he bought the car it was delivered with the engine in about a dozen different boxes....somebody had been doing a restore job and had failed and he bought all the pieces for $10k....I know he put in a non-stock turbo, because he had to design mounting brackets for it and have them custom made....I also know he is frustrated with it......he's gotten it all together, but currently, if he drives over 40 mph his turbo starts blowing oil all over the street....

does this help answer the question?
