supercharged rotary? the 2 rotors have no torque. you need torque to spin the s/c. thats why they use 2 turbos in sequential setup. the smaller turbo has a y pipe on the outlet and one pipe goes to the bigger turbo and the other one goes into the combustion chamber

my buddy still has the twin turbo setup on his but he had it changed from the sequential set up to the biturbo setup it work a hella lot better now without having to worry about all those vacuum hoses that were always leaking

ORIGINAL: David_K

its been a 2 rotor since 1986. mazda has 3-rotor engine called the 20B, its a 3-rotor twin turbo in sequential trim that will fit into a RX-7. if i got an rx7 thats what id do
--------------------------------------------------
Just a slight correction to your statement, David K -
Virtually all of Mazda's rotary engines here in the U.S. have been 2-rotors, and they've been selling them since about 1971. My first new car was a 1974 Mazda RX-4. Smooth as a Waring blender, and economical as a.........Ford LTD with a 390 V-8.
