basic rotary tech question

[Soyo]

2 of both, 2 leading and 2 trailing, each rotor has one of each

im assuming he just hit printscreen at the right time. you cant pause a flash animation. hitting printscreen is just like copying text, except it copies everything on the screen, you can then paste it into paint or photoshop, whatever.

I was under the impression that there was one coil for both leadings, and a spereate coil for each trailing, therby having 3 coils.

I don't know about the coils... haven't found much info on them yet, I need a service manual or something lol

[MBTN]

There are 4 coils total, split into 2 sets. 1 Set for trailing and 1 for leading. (2 each because 2 rotors). There are 2 plugs per chamber. The leading plug fires twice during combustion.

as you can see, when the apex seal gets right in between the hole made for the spark plug, there is a space that would allow combusting gas to flow into the intake chamber. would this not prematurely combust the gasses in the intake chamer? how is this overcome?

although i am not positive on this, i dont think that compression can be adjusted, it is what it is. i think. can anyone confirm this?

You can change the compression ratio in your motor but only by using different rotors. The rotors from 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen, turbo, and non-turbo cars are all different in compression ratios. Some shops will tell you to use one rotor for high revving naturally aspirated cars and another rotor for boosted high HP applications.

what are the physical differences between the rotors?

probably nothing that you could see yourself

One coil for leading...3 coils
