I just saw an interesting article in the May 2002 issue of Option 2 magazine. Japanese tuner Scoot is rebuilding their red "top speed challenge" car to accept a custom built 4 rotor. The interesting thing is, in order to get the 4-rotor to fit into the FD's engine bay, they're using 12A rotor housings and rotors! They're claiming the engine is roughly a 2.3 liter, not 2.4. I guess the 12A is slighlty under 1.2 liters.

I'd love to see the custom e-shaft they're using, but there were no pictures of that. My scanner just quit on me, so I can't scan the pics. Anyone feel up to it?

 

A 12A is 1146cc.

The only difference between a 13B and a 12A is 10mm wider rotors... times four means a 4-rotor on 12A parts is only 40mm shorter than 13B parts. I find it hard to believe that the engine would be THAT tight....

 

My Japanese is terrible. I am not able to read most of the article. They do, however, provide a number of illustrations and make a big deal about the length of the engine. I drew my own conclusions, but I could be wrong.

 

dude that rocks!!! I would like to make 3 or 4 rotor Renesis engine I wait 2 3 year until I pick up a couple motors from wrecked cars.
and have someone build a custom eshaft.

 

iv been dreaming of a Turbo 3 rotor Renesis fd sense i first read about the new engin

 

just pickup a couple eingens from wrecks like 87GRT said and use a modifed (if nessacary) a cosmo 20B eshaft along with whatever else u may need to borrow from the 20B

 

Damn did it say how much power that thin is putting out (in PS of course) thats a monster. I want one just to toy around with.

 

it would put out a fair bit, along with rapid acceleration and alot more torque :O damn i want one so baddd

 

Back to the future here.................LOL

 

my bad i didnt see the dates haha i clicked on a cach from google and thought.. hey why not.

 

woah. i saw "new scoot 4 rotor" and got excited..
