Story goes that this engine was made for an AC compressor. He bought it new in the box with a LP setup on it. He was told that it has Cermanic Seals from the factory.

Price for the engine was $900.

More pics of the setup here

Go for Crighton and Roton.

 

Open your eyes. I already suggested that, but thanks for mentioning the 6-wheel carrier.BTW, you know he used to swap out the rotary engines from Ro80s?

 

Wow, I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Nissan S110.

Sweet^^^

 

Oops, sorry, I actually did read you suggested that, then forgot about it a pages on
Yep, he did swap out Ro80 engines for Ford ones, then to find out he had a pile of the old rotaries in his shed. So they raced them, got to know them, and now they are among the most important specialists in Europe.
There's some controversy about their parts, but a very experienced rotary driver overhere said he used their seals in one of his Ro80's years back, and it's still his strongest pulling engine. When I rebuild one of my Ro80 engines I'll sure use their seals.

 

Yep, he worked on my cars engines back in the 80's and I was always happy with the parts and work. I stay out of the controversy though.

 

if someone is intrested in old rotary parts, check out my thread in the european section of the forum on the Ro80 parts I just got my hands on. I also bought a second Ro80, but no pics yet as it still has to be delivered.

 

kenn chan mentioned a sachs 303 rotary gocart, well mine is damn close to being finished. i'll post pictures when it is if anyone here would like to see?

 

Here are a few pics of some rare rotaries. I know some of them have already been mentioned but at least now you can see what they all look like.

@nobodymv Haha LOL I have a knack of resuscitating dead threads without knowing. Google found this old thread whilst doing research on the Mazda Roadpacer.
Your right, once you post something online........its there forever.....

@7aull LOL Yep my friend I like to use pics of kiwi cars whenever I can.
7 out of those 10 cars ARE local. Cheers Stu ;-)

Oh......I almost forgot, this car is across the ditch in OZ. Im sure you all know what it is..... :-)

 

Johnson snowmobiles used rotary engines in some of their sleds too I dont think its the same engine as the Sachs that Artic Cat used. Team Johnson build a sled called the twin rotor that matted up two of the Johnson single rotor motors in one chassis. It was so fast they pretty much wrote it out of the rule books. Supposed to sound like a stock car going around the track. Heres a few pics

 

Totally cool!! Thanks for posting some interesting pics...
Great pix from back when EVERYONE was stuffing rotaries into, well, anything. Sad really, what could have been. BUT - makes the 7's that much cooler for it, so it's all good
