January 31, 200422 yr comment_4668 Hey All If you look at a rotory engine, you'll see that there are 2x spark plugs per rotor. I was thinking would you get any more power out of a cylinder engine if you had 2 spark plugs per cylinder insted of 1 per cylinder? Teddy Report
January 31, 200422 yr comment_4669 Not really. Some motors (such as the CA20E) utilise twin sparkplugs. The main reason a rotary has two is because of the length of the combustion chamber. Without the second sparkplug the combustion would take a LONG time...and would be much less efficent Report
January 31, 200422 yr comment_4671 some of the Honda Jazz models currently use the 2 plugs option as well - this is to ensure a full fuel burn - the plugs fire slightly out of synch to each other so the second one catches the remaining fuel/vapour a good economical system but would be a nightmare without a decent ecu Report
January 31, 200422 yr comment_4678 Also means a plug change costs twice as much! I have a feeling rotary plugs fire SLIGHTLY out of alignment too...but thats easily handled by the dizzy. Report
February 1, 200422 yr Author comment_4683 Input - Sparkplug 1 - Sparkplug 2 - Exhaust http://auto.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine4.htm Heres a good diagram. Anyway, i got the anwser to my Q. THanks! Teddy Report
