Hi Paul,
on that Mazda video on YouTube about rotary engine production they make
mention of a 16b with aluminum side housings as a future project.
It refers to increasing the capacity by increasing the "stroke". I
guess they mean increasing the eccentric distance. Most of us thought
that the ideal would be to increase the rotor width to 100 mm.  Do you
know anything of this?

I can't find anybody that will admit to anything. If they do increase "e"
it might be for a higher compression ratio. They do tell me wider rotors
(100 mm) are out. Too bad as the new engines will have all new parts.

I would just be ecstatic if it was all aluminum.
