Six ROTOR???
Ok Someone in Prince Albert City of 40,000 and me being one of the ONLY REX entusiasts i heard of someone bragging that they have a six rotor engine that produces arround 500hp that is the way he baught it from BC... apparently it is a race car engine... he claims that the engine is smaller than mine and the rotors are rogghly 1/3 the size of mine... now can somone collaborate his claims... or is he just bs'ing all the way?

I believe the folks at Granny's Speed shop in Washington State made a 6-rotor motor that they were using some time ago in a dirt-track stock car. Its on their web site, you'll find it if you poke around. I don't have time this morning to go find it, though, sorry!

From a technical point of view, there is nothing to stop you from building a 6-rotor... hell, even a 12 rotor engine. You'd have to manufacture a few custom parts (the eccentric shaft comes to mind 
), but it's possible. Now whether you could actually use it in a working application, well that's a whole other ball game. Just needs LOTS of money, and the attitude that you CAN get it to work (even if it will take years 
).

Ha! I had a dream like that, then I woke up in a mess. This is about the craziest I've heard lately, that is real.
There was another 4 rotor at sevenstock that they are going to throw in an fd w/ big single. He didn't sound very confident about the engine however. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=117228

Just look at the 26B, there is more to it than just a pair of 13B's stuck together... they built a special intermediate housing to accomodate double bearings to compensate for flex in the the e-shaft... any larger than 3 and your gonna start having 'issues' with it... hell, the 3's may have that problem too!

yeah well that is what i thaught that there would be problems with a six rotor! however in theory if the rotors were infact 1/3 the size then you would be looking at 1/3 the reciprocating mass theorfor if you had a good eccentric shaft then it coult "possibly" be done! however i think the guy is bssing! but i will ask him to see it! then we will se how much bull **** he sleeps and bathes in hell by the sounds of it he even eats the ****!

Yup, e-shafts flex!

e-shaft flex is pretty much eliminated with the guru racing flex kit. Just make one of those for a six rotor, there would be almost no flex... provided you could find a someone to balance that monster of an E-shaft.
