the good news is that Mazda has done 4 rotors, so some of the guesswork has been done, like the firing order and such. you can also use normal 13B rotors and rotor housings.

the bad news is that you still need to do quite a lot of custom fabrication and machining.

anything is possible..... the cost is relative to the amount of work needed.

PPRE sells a "4 Rotor Crank Kit" for $13kNZD. Come with the 4 rotor shaft, 2 irons and few odds n ends.

Thats a dream alright... I think you might spend more money on this than the taxes off of the lotto.
