I had a periphrial Port 13B in my 90 GXL it was alot of fun 300WHP at 14000RPM. The car was loud but so much fun. We also have a 700WHP 3rd gen RX7 which was in D-Sport this month.

Yup, that's right. The rotor ends are sliding on the trochoid - shaped housing walls. And it gives (at least it should give - that's theory) the same power output as a conventional piston engine that has three times more cylinders than the number of rotors and two times bigger displacement. Reason? In a modern rotary, the rotor makes three processes at one time (for instance: while one rotor wall is burning the air/fuel mixture, the next one moves the exhaust to the exhaust port, and the other one sucks the air inside the chamber - that's why is it three times more efficient than a piston engine), and finishes the burning process during 360 degree eccentric shaft movement, whereas the four stroke engine makes it in 720... It's quite a different story with the two strokes, tough.
That's why I love rotaries... I also like Subaru boxer engines, but not because of that.
