The ever optimistic Sherman. Did somebody twist your arm and force
   you to write this rotary article for Automobile? :)

   Thanks for the magazine Donald but one of my readers reported it's
   existence and I bit the bullet and bought one. Good article.

   If Mazda stops making the rotary they can kiss their ass goodbye.
   They don't have a clue what it takes to build a profitable
   and desirable economy car. Driven any Korean cars lately?
   Its all about NVH.

   Here are a few videos for your enjoyment.

   Turbo compound is finally catching on.

   Mazda just needs to get their ass in gear and apply turbo compound to
   the current RX8 rotary engine. What is so hard about that?

   Aircraft Spruce and Mazdatrix  sells my book. If you order
   it from them I won't have to go to the post office :)

   If your not doing anything in April come to Sun N Fun.

   There are now two other companies in the world making and selling rotary
   aircraft engines. That is... other than Mazda.

Paul, the links to the vids on your website just go to the main page (in
the email I receive).  It might be more useful if they directly linked
to the vids.  Like:

It just occurred to me...  I wonder if they can get quick light-off of
the catalytic converter with a couple of turbochargers in the way
absorbing heat.  Maybe the wastegate will be mandatory for that reason -
to get hot exhaust directly to the cat?

On the flip side, having the turbos in the stream may give a little more
flexibility on the mixture side without overtemping the cat(s).


Matt-


I am just barely smart enough to keep that web site working.
Any changes and the whole thing could blow up :)
