FOr some who love comparisons or measuring to others (why would you I dont know but.........)
The 13B is like the following Power density like a 1.3lt 2 stroke! Fuel consumption of like a bad 2.6lt 4 stroke! Racing durability similar to a equal powered 3.9lt! Some old boys will get what I am saying with the above. The Wankel has allot of good attributes with its very large areas and slow speeds and this shows up in its durability as a racing engine (on equivalence basis for time related "displacement" @ equal BHP levels) compared to reciprocating alternatives. When you understand how the engine works and why this is you quickly see its not magic but its an attribute of the Wankel Cycle, its slow speed, and big area to time relationships. Sure its inefficient on ANY equivalence measure (power density, peak speed, etc) but BANG for BUCK and DURABILITY wise its very very very hard to beat. I don't know if there are many or any on this forum who get WTF I just said but hopefully it will ring true to someone who has more than a shitty web page with fictional customer base and delusions of self praised status. Wankels are a cool motor its only the people into them in the majority that are weird!
