650 HP naturally aspirated 4 rotor engine block. $28,000 USD.

This was a quote from http://www.kiwi-re.com/

This should answer all the questions about pricing.

Hrmm shouldn't someone be posting about what a rip off that is and how they could make it themselves for $250 because they have a buffing wheel and a friend of a friend with a torque wrench?

Kiwi-RE very much know what they are doing too. Extremely capable.

A more reasonable request would be for a custom 20b e-shaft. 4-rotor, with our average level of financing (Jim excluded of course ) is just pipe dreaming at this point.

I emailed them again last night. I asked if it was based off a 12A. I also asked what the engine block included.

I'll post their reply here when I receive it.

So basically in theory, I could buy that e-shaft for $5,600 and a used good engine for about $1000, mate that engine with my current engine. Make a tubular intake manifold, weld 2 KG fuel rails together, buy another primary fuel rail. Have some real long tention bolst made. Sell the front section of one engine to buy another intermediate housing and WHOLA, I could have a 4rotor.

hmm, wonder how much the one off oil pan would cost?

Now to get it in that car haha

j/k
