Rotary power! 1988 rx7 convertible
Probably not alot of people with my kind of car on this forum, but I joined because I love the idea of efficiency and reaching and exceeding a car's potential.
I've got the 1.3 L 13B wankel rotary engine in my car. It was rebuilt about 10k ago and was street ported during the process, as well as some other improvements. It now has a racing beat header and presilencer replacing all cats.
I have a best of 27 mpg on the freeway in california heat going 70-80mph, and a worst of 15 (because reasons). In reality my worst is about 19 (15 was an extreme outlier). Here is a link to my mpg spreadsheet if anyone is interested: [nevermind, can't post that yet apparently, will when I have 5 posts]
You'd expect a 0 cylinder car to do better than 27mpg :P
My planned future mods for fuel efficiency is a good tune, synthetic tranny and dif oil, and maybe a power steering delete.
