yes it can be done ....add a fourth rotor and youre done
Also if youre wondering , its pretty easy , just use ACME`s "add a rotor" kit , some glue , used rotor ....easy

Well, Ted, if you think about it, what else does that engine have going for it? I mean, it's gotta be terrible on gas, as I think it's technically a 7.8L engine. It's bigger, therefore heavier, and would throw the balance of the car way off. If the 20b can get 700+hp, then there really IS no need to go to all the trouble of getting a 26b, right? So yeah, the sound is a huge factor!

technically, its a 2.6l end of story, none of this, "its unfair because it fires more per rotation than a piston engine" bull ****.

wow..... just wow.
Thats all I can say.
Honda-tech must be losing members like crazy.
I think we should change the name of the 20b subforum to something else random, like.... "peanut butter". Maybe that will help with all the stupid people coming in here.

you are concerned with gas mileage and you want a rotary?? not just any rotary, the king, and you want it for the sound???????????? please do us all a favor and shoot yourself.

Cool dude thanks! But wouldn't the e-shaft be a little short in that case? Oh well. I think I have an aluminum bar around here somewhere from an old metalshop project I was working on. I'll just chop a couple inches off that and solder it onto the end of the e-shaft! That should work, eh? I heard the housing lining is made of aluminum so it shouldn't be a problem! I'll go to Mazda tomorrow and see if they have an extra rotor laying around somewhere. It's a long drive from here, about an hour one way so hopefully they have one in stock! Thanks for the help!

First off, I never said I was concerned about the gas mileage. Learn to read. If I wanted it for anything else, like I said, I'd just get a 20b. 1.3L is based on one side of both rotors x 3 x 2 is..? Even though you're obviously dumb and have some inner issues you need help with, I'm sure you can do that simple math. I don't know anything about piston engines so I don't know what you're talking about there. Do you think?

Umm I dont really need to kick the dead horse of the 26B sound and.. all the rest.. but.. umm
WTF man.
How can your engine be sitting there Complete.. and still be waiting for some internal parts???
Ship in a bottle???

No you cant make a 20B sound like a 26B it sounds the way it does because it has four rotors, just like you cant make a 13B sound like a 20B because its shy one rotor. Same principal applies to any type of internal combustion engine its just the laws of physics.
As for the displacement of an engine, due to the physics of the rotary engine its actually just under twice there displacement of a piston engine...so a 13B is a 1.3L engine so you take the 1.3L(1.7)=displacement of an equal piston engine so a 1.3B makes the same amount of power as a 2.2L piston engine. All rotary engines are labelled after there displacement and turbo or NA prefix. So a 12A is a 1.2L, 13B is a 1.3L, 20B is a 2.0L and 26B is a 2.6L generally most rotor housings are a 654cc unit. Its funny I know this and I dont even own a rotary!
As for owning a 26B just for the sound, hell I think 99% of the people here would take one just because they could get one. Nobody can afford a 26B its a purebred race engine, I know racing beat is currently trying to sell there 1000HP PP 13G 3 rotor racing engine at the small tune of $48,000 anyone that tells you they have a 4 rotor engine in there car is either A)Lying really bad or B)Is one hell of a fabricator and made the engine themselves...the latter is not impossible just time and money consuming!

Just keep in touch with me, I am one of four people that runs the Lordco High Performance division, a 20B is a really simple thing to find out here theres lots of importers
