I wouldn't be surprised if this project takes over a year to complete. Why rush things?

One thing I do need to do is modify a distributor for the 23A and test it in one of my engines. Gotta mark a pulley at 90° (L3) too.

Just think jeff by the time you get that monster worked out, the Mazda Furai will be in production and youll be able to but a 4 rotor set up from the dealer.

Nice project Jeff. Just reading through "several" pages, but not all. Amazing. Did you mention early on what you're planning to use for engine management? Believe it or not, Scoot uses 2 Power FCs to run his (one for the front two rotors and one for the rears).

I'm impressed by your patience and attention to detail. Great work!

I believe the owner of the GSL-SE sent final payment to Jeff Bruce. Waiting to hear back.

It would be funny if by April 1st we get the parts back, ready to go. That would make it this thread a year old.

Can I get some info on the engineer site, contact and/ or email ? I'm contemplating in the 4 rotor custom does Jeff Bruce limit this conversion to 12a's or can I use 13b housings & rotors as well?

Still waiting to hear back from Jeff Bruce. We sent final payment a while ago and he's supposed to ship the parts. They may already be on their way. Waiting to get a reply from Him.
