This engine was produced around 1983/1984 for the 1984 LeMans 727c race car, and was used until about 1989. The engine was based on the 13B engine of the time, with some special parts: *Special centre housing with phasing gear *Eccentric shaft to suit the 3 rotor design *Different front housing (which has holes for the tension bolts to go through, as the tension bolts screw into the special centre housing). *The rotor housings were the type with the water seal groove. (But, the external shape of the housings is narrower than the 13B) *Most other parts, while virtually identical to the 13B, were custom-made for this engine The eccentric shaft used was a new design not previously tried by Mazda. Previous designs were made from modified 2 rotor eccentric shafts joined together with bolts and keyways, which were not rigid enough for extended periods of reliable operation. Essentially it was a 2 rotor shaft with a long extension on the front of it that went all the way to the front pulley. Then for the front rotor there is an eccentric shaft "sleeve" which slides over the front extension on the eccentric shaft until the angled section of the main eccentric shaft meets the corresponding section in the "sleeve" (Just like the flywheel does in any Mazda rotary). The bearing/spacer/bolt down plate used to adjust the backlash (as in any Mazda rotary) performs the task of pushing the extension sleeve onto the tapered section. The extension sleeve is indexed (so the rotor is in the correct phase with the other rotors) by a small keyway. NOTE: There was also a 4 rotor engine very similar to this engine called the 13J It was made a few years later that the 13G. 13G Racing Engine specifications Origin Based on early 80's 13B Capacity 654cc x 3 rotors = 1962cc Compression ratio 9.4:1 Induction Naturally aspirated peripheral port, electronic fuel injection (2 injectors per rotor) Exhaust Peripheral Exhaust Port Ignition Distributorless CDI ignition (2 plugs/rotor) Power/RPM 450ps@8500rpm Torque/RPM 40kgm@8000rpm Max RPM 9500 RPM (Optimum 6000-9000rpm) Dimensions Length 675mm Width 549mm Height 520mm (Complete engine) Weight 143kg (Complete engine) Special Features Dry Sump |

You sure about that? This thing is a factory race-built Le Mans engine, that's been turbo'ed:

When I win the lottery (sounds optimistic, but first I'd have to start buying tickets) I'd rather buy an R8.

4 rotor FS in Oz
$16,000US w/o accessories :) Stu Aull 80GS Alaska |
My dad and i took a trip to racing beat when we were out in cali, they gave us a tour and showed us that motor. Story is, an indian fellow came to them in early 2001 and put a down payment on a motor he wanted them to build for him. The motor was almost done when 9/11 happened. Apparently the man was afraid to live in the u.s., took his family back to india and left the motor here.

I would love to own that engine for sure. I just wouldn't know what to put it in. I wouldn't want anywhere near that kind of power in any vehicle I own.
|
You don't put it "in" anything; you just strap a saddle on it and ride it Slim Pickens style!
|
Yeah i posted this in the 2nd gen section about a year ago, lol. Been on there forever.
