Prove to be reliable? It's a rotary, of course it won't be reliable!

It would definetly be worth the work and money to keep one up though.

I hope you were joking, if not you're ignorant and dumb.

Well, I was joking, but only half joking. Rotary engines have not been known to be reliable at all. The Renesis rotary will be much more reliable than Mazda's earlier rotaries (with the better Apex seals and what-not), but I don't think saying rotaries are unreliable is ignorant or dumb.

If you don't turbocharge a rotary it will be pretty reliable.

Yes it is, what made the previous Rotaries a bad reputation (specially turbo RX-7's) is their dumb owners upping the boost without knowing jack shit.

Okay, I guess I'll modify what I said a bit then: they are unreliable engines when put under stress.

The RX-7 engine was an absolutely amazing engine, but the fact that it commonly required rebuilds and was prone to problems when putter under stress could definetly be interpreted as the engine being unreliable.

I've known two people personally who owned Turbo IIs - one who left the engine virutally stock but still had to have it rebuilt twice in the 4-5 years he owned it, and another who went through 3 or 4 entire engines (he was running enough boost and engine mods to get well over 300hp out of the engines), finally got fed up, an dropped an LS-1 into the car.

As I said before, they are amazing engines, but to keep them running over a long period of time they do require more maintenance then some of their competition (such as the 7MGTE or 2JZ in the Supra).
