Paul,

Any news on the new 16B engine?

Steve Brazil

Nothing.

I would not be surprised, given the price of gas,
that it does not make it. If I were Mazda I would be busting
my buns on turbo compound.

Last months road & track had an article on the  RX7 and a
200 to 253 hp for 16x was quoted. and that they had gotten
the green light for the rx7 to be built.

If I were Mazda I would not build a bigger rotary.
That is not going to buy them 20% better MPG.

If not building a 20% higher MPG turbo compound rotary I would focus
an a computer controlled manual transmission that shifted
super fast upon kick down to exactly the right gear
for the current speed such as this transmission from Mercedes.

They can also increase the power on the top end
with a trap door p-port and still meet all emission
regulations.
