I think it can be done.....Well anything can be done as long as you have the dough. You will also have to get a custom eccentric shaft ($$$) and the obvious fuel mods and spacing mods (dont know if it would fit) if it did need custom engine mounts....

To much work

Also the Mazda LeMans winning race car was a 4 rotor. Look up some on that. Basically its going to be vary expensive to do, but if youve got the cash I saw go for it. Theres a guy on the first gen forum that is working on fabing up a 4 rotor to go into a first gen. Do a search for cheifasorousrex or something along those lines. Ill see if I can find a link.

I have read that it takes about $50,000 in cash to mate 2 13Bs together to form the 4 rotor engine..

A 26b quad rotor. It will take some mass cash. They have them. Just think what it would be like to hold that custom e-shaft in your hand. $$$$$$$$$$$

You're probably thinking of Hurley Engineering. They've done everything from 1-6 rotor wankels. So has MVA Motorsports in Jersey. Pineapple Racing sells "ready-to-go" 4-rotors for $8500 USD which they claim make 850 hp in NA trim.

Yeah, I think it would be cheaper to buy a 3 or 4 rotor than to make one by putting 2 12a's or 13b's together. You would have to have a nearly unlimited budget and mad fabrication skillz to pull it off in your garage. Chefasaurus is building one to attempt to break the land speed record in bonneville, Utah. He is having a custom made 4 rotor e-shaft built and he said they are $2000 each.

There was a 3 rotor 20B on sale on ebay last week for 2500. Its harder to get parts for those, but not impossible. They come up for sale fairly often, so maybe if you tore it down and rebuilt it you could still have massive amounts of power and still have $$$ left.
