I see it being a drag car and workin I knew it wasn't gonna be a street car or a road race car.. This engine is gonna be amazing no doubt but when lmp cars can barely keep a 4 rotor cool with 5 and 6 radiators a six rotar isn't plausable... I wanna hear it as well...!!!

A well designed cooling system with proper ducting will do the trick.
My old koyo with proper electric fan struggled to keep my engine cool, it was always 90-95C.
On trackdays temp would build up after about 10mins so i needed to stop and cool down.
My new v-mount setup with EWP barely takes an effort, the fans dont even turn on unless i stop and they come on at 85C

bloody close now

Its been balanced.
They have the intake manifolds and exhaust done.
Its a drag car and NA, so cooling wont be to hard.
Gas... why would that even be a issue ?
Only real question now is how long will be be till it running for the first time
Well done PPRE.

Gas an issue because that thing will be getting around 5mpgs at a cruising speed. Being a drag car it will be getting 1 haha.
Cooling on a drag car turns into a HUGE issue on hot laps. If you enter a tournament of sorts, and happen to have to run 3-4 runs back to back... Talk about getting hot.

Cant see Fuel ever been a issue in a drag car. Its like saying Nitro funny cars wont work because you will run out of fuel.... you just design for it, like everything else.
Such pessimists you yanks.

Have you ever run a 6 rotor car down the track back to back? It will be tough keeping it cool, no matter what.
And as for fuel, that thing will need a MASSIVE fuel setup. No ones saying it can't be done. I guess it comes down to logical thinking. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. As Chris Rock once said, you can drive down the interstate with your feet, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
I guess I'm one of those people that think more like, if something can be done reliably one way, why try to make it more complicated? Why open up the possibility of catastrophic failure that will cause fortunes to repair?
I give them props for the idea and actually going for it. But to me, it's overkill and really is rather pointless. There will probably be zero market for another one, so it's basically just a waste of assets.

if everyone had that kind of why bother and develop an idea attitude imagine all the things we wouldn't have in the world. you don't know til you try. mad mike wouldn't be drifting a 26b if it weren't for the why not, give it a go kiwi attitude. mazda would have never even started the rotary experiment if they went with the pessimistic why try approach.and that's a world I don't wanna live in

you kidding ? The amount hype and the incredible marketing something like this has pay for itself.. Just because their not turning over 10 of these a week doesn't mean its not profitable. Most companies will do unique projects (with no profit) just to build a name and generate interest, this is no different

ppre is the leading rotary shop pumping out 26b engines all over the world. what is the second one? kiwire. if ppre thought like ben and never built mad mikes engine do you think they would have all the international work coming their way no. you dont see the point in the 6rotor? what about breaking records? what about streaming more work their way? what about being the 1st to do a running road legal 6rotor automobile? and bro thats just how we roll.
do you realy think they have not thought about the fuel? come on man sharpen up.
and nz has 4.5milion people drag racing is big over here but not big enuf to run back to back i have never seen it ever, in saying that if it did happen do you really think they have not thought about it.
thats my rant for the day peace maggots

What makes this 6 rotor build ANY different than a 2,3, or 4 rotor? its length... thats it
And what makes you so sure that they will have issues with the engines cooling? You dont know, NO ONE knows..... everyone has issues with cooling at some point in their build. Whether its a 1.3 or 2.0 or 2.6, but somehow many people have figured it out and are running better than OEM temperatures.
You're simply not a dreamer... this whole "why bother with the why nots" is completely stupid..... Im sure the Wright brothers said "why not try and go farther and longer", Im sure Dr. Felix Wankel said "why not make something different", im sure that in certain countries the regulations committees said "why not, lets show some naked women on tv and allow cursing", Albert Einstien and other scientists probably said "why not spend our lives contemplating about the great mysteries of the universe"
And hundreds of people on youtube went "why not make videos, i'll get paid" and they've made quite a living by posting nonsense, some making six figures.
And when does it really matter how much it costs to run this thing? When you have a reputation for building some of the best rotary cars in the world and a seemingly limitless income... WHY NOT!?
Dont concern yourself with such things that dont pertain to you because you're only going to be miserable and a skeptic.
Seems like you were "that kid" in elementary school that always had to ruin the best and fantastical ideas because you didnt have an imagination.
Some of the best things we have are from wild imaginations...... Otherwise, we wouldnt have space travel, or the planning of colonizing a nearby planet.
