Mazda 16x – The Potential of the Rotary Motor
The Mazda RX2, Mazda RX3, Mazda RX4, Mazda RX7 and now Mazda RX8 are all illustrations of productive rotary motor sports vehicles. The New Mazda 16x Rotary Motor ought to even more popularize this offbeat combustion engine which characteristics (as rotaries normally have) a compact style and design with an remarkable energy-to-excess weight ratio all in just 1.6 Liters.
Mazda is calling this new rotary motor the “lengthy-stroke rotary motor.” As you may presently know, the 13B rotary engine has a displacement of just 1300cc, which is 1.3 Liters. When the Mazda 16x has an engine displacement of 1600cc (800cc x 2), which is 1.6 Liters and nevertheless they have produced the 16x drastically bigger than the 13B – it weighs significantly less than a 13B. This is due to aluminum facet housings, which Mazda states should not scare us.
Mazda’s purpose here is “greater thermal efficiency” – which generally implies, any car driven by the Mazda 16x is heading to shift like stink. Mazda states this [thermal efficiency] will boost torque at all motor speeds. (Rotary engines are infamous for possessing low torque, especially on the lower-finish.)
They have also additional Direct Gas Injection so you can hope the 16x to be noticeably far more affordable in comparison to rotaries of the earlier. Unsafe emissions will be greatly reduced as very well and power should really be marginally enhanced as opposed to widespread multi-issue gas injected rotaries these as the 13B. This need to lean the gas-air mixture out as very well and may possibly increase the rotaries awful routine of flooding every single time you go her down the road a block.
Mazda has done outstanding things with their mild and sporty 1.3 Liter 13B – just consider what they can do with this new Mazda 16x! Far better but, just imagine what you could do with this new Mazda 16x rotary engine! Regrettably, nevertheless, Mazda has but to announce a production automobile to have the 16x. The closest we have gotten is the Mazda Taiki, a significantly-out prototype made by Mazda beneath the “Nagare”(which is, Japanese for “move”) notion of layout.
So when will we see this new rotary engine in motion?
Quite a few anticipated this new rotary engine to look in the 2009 Mazda RX8, but when the go over was pulled off at the North American International Car Show in Detroit, we saw almost nothing but the Mazda 13B MSP Renesis engine beneath it is really glimmering hood.
To reply the concern your guess is as excellent as mine.
