They actually burn oil on purpose. They have oilers that inject oil into the Rotor housings in order to keep the Apex Seals lubricated.
Which did not work good BTW - I actually mix 2 cycle premix in my gas, about 4 oz. per 10 gallons for the street and 8 oz. per 10 gallons on the track. This is for a turbo though. My friend with his ITS car does not even premix.
Jeff- You lost me dude. I am no engineer. I just play with cars. All I know is that I have a 1.3 liter engine with a mild turbo on it, (T04e) and it puts down 400 to the wheels. It did this problem free for 3 years until my dumb ass overheated it.
I know that the non-turbo RX-7 back in the day put out power comparable to engines 3 times its size and was classed accordingly in Drag Race events.
My RX-7 with its 1.3 liter engine was classed in ASP in Autocross when I first started (Now its in BP) that class had modded Vipers and Vettes.
BP has very light big engine Vettes in it. These little engine put out a lot of power.
How a rotary works.
