Knowledgeable automotive enthusiasts have long recognized the performance potential of Mazda's Wankel-type rotary engines.

Displacing just 1.3 liters, a correctly built 13B two-rotor engine can produce up to 500 hp or more and run for hundreds of thousands of trouble-free miles.

The secret to this level of success is the knowledge of what—and what not—to do when modifying an engine for increased torque and horsepower production.

Automotive author and engineer Mark Warner takes the reader step by step through the major systems of a rotary engine, describing in detail both the what and the why of rotary engine modifications.
