Ok so this is a topic that ive never seen really discussed in this forum and it has always been somthing that ive wondered.
Lets say that you added 2 more rotors to a 13b, woudlent that double the size of the engine and potentially double the output of a rotary. I mean with the 20b its 3 rotor, but why did they stop there?? Why not go for a 4 rotor N/A that would produce even more HP. What would it take to do somthing like this?

 

they did make a 4rotor. It won the lemans, the 787b =/

 

Umm....emissions and we would get pretty bad mileage too.

 

Emissions is the main reason that I can think of...Notice the stock 2 rotor has somewhere in the neighborhood of a jillion cats attached to it. Think of the size of the ******* cats a 4 rotor would legally require? YOud probably have to put them in a side car or something.

Not only that, if we added 2 more rotors, it will mess up the great 50/50 balance of the car and add a higher tag to the purchase price if it was ever made.

 

****, my last post just completely missed the topic..Sorry!

They do make a 4-rotor, I have the link somewhere. Its expensive as hell, but it makes some ungodly amount of Hps, like 1000 I think....Where is that damn link...

Dont drool all over yourselves...

Wow!

 

i want one hehehe

 

HOLY MOTHER OF UNGODLY THINGS!
THATS AWSOME!

Hey Jrat thanks i really had no clue they existed and im glad it does, The emmissions part of the whole idea makes me realize that this idea is complety not feasible.
Thanks

 

and here is what one sounds like

If only i had one of those lol...

 

man the sound of that car is beautiful..

 

drool...........................i wonder what they going to use as of ECU,ignition,fuel controll, planning to build one myself in 06'

 

Oh man thats nothing, Ive got for of those sitting in my garage....................*wakes up from dream* Damnit

 

hm... doesnt the 787b have 3 plugs/rotor and peripheral ported housings?

 

Long e-shafts are expensive to make strong enough not to break. Long intake and exhaust manifolds are also more expensive, and such an engine would weigh 2x+ what a 13b weighs, because not only are you doubling size/mass, but you're adding more on top of that for additional strength. FOr instance, a 20B weighs MORE than 150% of a 13B.

 

Not to mention getting one to fit under the hood of a fc.

 

grrrrrrrr that sound alone is enough to drive a rotor head nukking futz. by the way to fix the weight balence issue is to move the firewall back....

 

it sounds crazy but i had the idea once that you could take the new renesis and apply that technology and what you would have would be something like a solid maybe 700 horses NA and not only that the engine is lighter and you wouldnt have the emmissions problem nor the fuel consumption true?

 

i meant a 4 rotor renesis.....hmmm..a Fournesis

 

yeap, it does, check out this page i found while tryign to learn about variable length vilocity stacks

so how does the weight and length compair to a v8?
lots of people do those conversions.

 

www.evil7.com has some real badass 2 and 3 rotors
and theyve made 4 rotors before, mercedes benz made one a long time ago, so did mazda, they just never put them into production.
They have made "aftermarket" 4 rotors too from cusotm e-shafts.
Someone even made one by bolting 2 13b's together.

 

whos making that 4 rotor?
