They also only come in under power (for those who dont know) and the stock primaries are 550's I believe. That would make it have 286cc injectors if it was the comparable 6 cylinder which rotaries are always contrasted with. They do still get bad gas mileage, I just thought you made it sound worse than it is =P

i agree, but you should see some of the blown N/A's that come through here... one we just got done building had rusted rotors and some nasty NASTY orange goo, not liquidy at all, it was gel like... but it had been sitting in storage for a while... overheating is very common as well, also engine fires aren't as uncommon as you think, the ... ummm wtf is it called?... well it's a diaphram that has a screw inside it, that eventually comes out and starts fires by just squirting fuel everywhere... and since rotary motors run soo damn hot the fuel ignites quite easily...
and yea 550cc are primaries, but still, that combo is only good up to like 350 or so hp... i guess i did make it sounds kinda bad... but that is still a lot of fuel for a stock engine
