Hi Paul!: thanks a lot for the wonderful sendings about RCEs.  I have just
one doubt: the title of this e-mail is: "12A Dyno Chart & BSFC", this is one
one best new year gifts I may have had, as I was considering installing a
Wankel RCE in my 1976 AMC Pacer base, now it has a 4.2 lit (258?) 6-L engine
with single vase carburetor, a power of 98 HP, and a Chrysler Torqueflite 3-
speed plus reverse Automatic Transmission, I bought a Mazda Auto Trans for a
RCE, and as the power output of the Mazda 12A and of the 6-L AMC are roughly
the same, the AMC engine weighs near 400 pounds, I guess the 12A is around
135 pounds, just the gain in weight would improve overall car's performance,
and the only change needed may be finding the right final axle gears ratio;
a German autor Knapp, points in his book (in German): "Wankel in the test
bench", that by 1976 the fuel economy of rotaries and contemporary
reciprocating engines was roughly the same, the promised data about 12A
would be of great help to me, provided the case it refers to an stock
engine, and not to one specially tuned and modified for use in airplanes.

So, hope it was a temporary mixing of e-mail titles, and having soon the
opportunity of looking at the 12A data, hope also finding a 12A for sale in
good condition.



Have a nice week, best regards, salut +

I had no idea they sold those things in Spain.

The Pacer needs a 3 rotor :)
