Default 1664bhp rotary engine on the dyno

fucking LOVE the speed rotaries rev
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uO1782B6RZw
testing the launch control at the end of the vid is cool too.

no idea why there is fire around the exhaust ports on them runs, its not blowing from the manifold (trust me, youd hear it, roatries are LOUD), and its obv not a fault as they dont mention it and its making the power.

heres a vid of the engine in the car, an E46 BMW!

fuck knows what the flames are TBH, the extreme heat causing everything around the manifold to hit flashpoint and just spontaniously combust seems the most viable explanation.

deffo not blowing though IMO, rotaries are incredibly loud, if it blew youd know about it

looks like the air around it is catching fire. at the rate that manifold is heating up wouldn't be suprising lol

Doubt the mani would would be blowing on that sort of dyno, but from where it says testing the 2 step on the clip... THATS FUCKING AMAZING!

Yeah, none at all

About the flames from the manifold, well, this was from today on the rollers at Perfect Touch, and a similar thing happens!

Again, owner etc reports no leaks at all
