Hurley built it, yes?

Jeff20B 05-20-08 09:14 PM

Yes.

Does anyone have any info about this supposed 6 rotor? As far as I know, no one has heard or seen it run. No dyno numbers. Never installed in a vehicle. Never even fired up.

I'm sure if it did work, I'd certainly remember the thread or video clip. I'm drawing a blank here.

I'll do some lookin around.

Jeezus 05-20-08 09:22 PM

Yep Hurley built it. All the information is on their page, but I cannot access it. Estimated 900 HP

find me a 7 that would fit in.....

IanS 05-20-08 09:30 PM

With 900 hp, it wouldnt need to go in a 7. I say a F-350 dually, slammed to the ground. YES

More engine bay room than a 429 Boss. Who wants to try it out? I only have 4 rotors here :(

mazdaverx713b 05-20-08 09:36 PM

ok, i'm in

I remember seeing this. Wouldn't the eccentric shaft break in a six rotor?

FirebirdSlayer666 05-20-08 11:31 PM

Yeah never fired up. It's still got the side intake ports so you would need a super intake manifold for it. It would be interesting but I honestly think even a peripheral ported 4 Rotor would be too much for alot of us LOL

You can use 3 side draft manifolds... kinda like how they used 3 headers instead of one monster header.

They usually have bearings between 2-at-a-time rotors, atleast AFAIK.

FirebirdSlayer666 05-20-08 11:44 PM

Not unless you cut and welded 4 more center runners into it. All the intermediate plates are center ports

I am pretty sure if someone had the $$$ to build a 6 rotor they would do it right :)

FirebirdSlayer666 05-21-08 12:53 AM

No doubt about that

Mythical Beast Lives? No so much...
 
Ah yes... The mythical 6 Rotor.

I had a picture of the Hurley 6 Rotor in a thread I posted earlier about odd Wankel/Other Rotor designs.
[https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=734643] (21A? 40A? 6 Rotor?! WTF is going on here?!)

I never learned much more than the 900bhp guess and that it was actually built to work; whether or not this mythical engine acctually ran or will run I have no damn clue.

But I have to side with the others, unless we see a working video or authetic dyno numbers, I'm calling this one a "design experiment."

how many other car enthusiast communities have mythical engines? seriosuly, how awesome are we?
