Wouldn't it be cool to have a rotary engine in a quad
I personally don't think it would be fun in a quad. Rotary engines put out very little torque. It would feel like a turbine engine.

n2o is not real power. It comes in a bottle and runs out. Its like having super powers that die out and need to be recharged. Its just not the same thing as real power.

Guys guys, its not as simple as more displacement = better. Whats makes more power? a 770 raptor decked out to the max, or a bone stock R6? Which one of them has the most potential at its current displacement? You could cut an R6 motor inhalf and make it a 300, then it would STILL have more potential than a raptor. Technology and starting design matter. And so do revs [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Then theres the wankel...... with some development it could be the baddest motor (until they make a CVT strong enough for a turbine)

Dont attack my credibilty. I have ridden machines equipped with all kinds of modifications, n2o included. I've also beaten quads equipped with it. I've also seen people beat others at the beginning of the day. Then they run out of juice and get beaten by 1/2 of the machines they just beat. The best plan is to have a good, built machine first, then worry about the nito.

as for wankels, sure they're great motors but they aren't exactly known for reliability.
Nitrous: great way to get some good, inexpensive power. face it: if you have a decked out small block V8...say around 600bHP, itd be hell to drive on the street compared to a turbo'd I4 or 6 cylinder with nitrous.
WIth n2o and turbo, you have a very calm daily driver, and a mean racing machine for the weekend.
with a hard hitting V8 you have bad gas milage, excessive torque for street use, and a helluva lot less reliability.

let me just say this...N2O is the worst power adder you can use...unless money is no object for you and you can afford to biuld a motor that will not suffer from structural damage down the road....N2O is like cocaine the speed is great at first but the long term damage can be crucial.
large displacment, lots of air flow, and good fuel with big time compression is always your best bet.....

If you know how to properly use it, your engine can be sprayed for WELL OVER 75,000 miles...thats gonna last a lot longer than a 12:1 V8, guaranteed.
btw you said lots of air flow:..what do you think nitrous is?...
