He is progressing... Although from what I've seen of the new intro for ID *Hehe*, Bunta's intervention shows soon enough...
I got another groups sub of ep11, it's not as good as LE, but anyway... That aside, I've watched it about 10 times now... 11 as I'm typing this (Dual monitor rocks!), and I must say, he's definately improved. After watching it a few times, then doing all the research behind it all, say the physics and so on, it's feasable, but would take a lot of skill and luck... That being said, I know probably one or two people that would be able to do that, but not in an FR, have to be AWD.
As for high revving rotaries, I think the sound of either a very nice 5.7L V8 twin turbo at 5,7000rpm... Sounding like the scream of a banshee, is muuuuch nicer :P

Possibly to prevent the turbo from overspeeding in the rarified atmosphere at high altitude...
Eg. the exhaust flow to spin the turbine is there, but there is not enough resistance (intake air density) to prevent turbine overspeeding

That's why the car gods invented the Wastegate. If the turbo is being overdriven, and the wastegate is cracking as it should, he needs to invest in an external wastegate, or port out the flow sections for his existing internal wastegate.

You can find other subs for Ep 12 if you search the web. Out of respect for LE, I won't whore up their forum with a link.

Rotaries sound like pissed off chainsaws, lol. I love the sound of a big V8 roaring along. The scream of F1 cars gives me chills. Also, I have to show my Subaru fanboyism... an uncorked flat 4 (even a flat 6) is music to me. :)

This thread is HUGE
JC:
Sure is :P
Some guys I know with way too much money got their hands on an old V10 in non working condition from somewhere... Spent three months getting it running, as they had to wait for parts to be made (Forged pistons and crank, plus custom valves)... Now they've customised the throttle body to have two intakes, each one at 3/4 and 7/8 pistons respectively... Next step is to test out making it a twin supercharger.
They're not gutsy enough to put it in a car, needless to say a gokart (That was the original idea, a V10 go kart!!)
We're aussies, we're nuts... And we don't care :P
