How the hell does that hood close?

Not to mention in the video when that guy is talking about his red 4 rotor, I like how the stamped vin in the center of the firewall is covered up by a website address.

He said he didnt want to go 2 rotor turbo because it would cost more? Are you kidding? This must have costed 40k.

not if your a machinest/welder... make your own parts for cost of material. wich would make a 4 rotor cheaper than going turbo...

The hood has a bulge in it. If you look closely in the video you may notice it.

Off topic but I thought I'd post a pic of one of the 2 rotor competitors also from Sunday's event.

He talks about pump gas but what kind of octane is your gas there in New Zealand? I remember that Supreme in Japan or the highest octane offered at most all gas stations was 98/99. I'm only wondering because I don't know if you could run the way he's running the motor with pump gas from our gasoline stations unless we go and get 99 octane.

If I ever have enough money to build one of these and enough patience i'll find a way to do it.

Nothing like the sound of a 4 rotor.

I highly doubt he has the means to make a 4 rotor E-shaft. Just that kit right there is 5k. My whole single turbo setup costed about that.

Over here we use the RON rating for octane, whereas you fellas in the USA use the AKI rating system. 98/99 'octane' in NZ is the same as 93 in the states.
The highest octane (RON rating) we can readily get at pump stations is 98, but some odd places are lucky and have higher (100+) available.

Yea, that is fricken cool, when is someone going to step up and do that here. It would be a lot cooler if he notched the firewall to move the engine back. He might be able to get away with a stock hood then... Plus would help with balance.

To add what you have said, it would be awesome if he notched the fire wall and place the engine far back enough to add a turbo...think about?? a 1300+hp street driven rx7..

i might attempt it a little later. i've already been thinking of ideas of how to accomplish it, many others already have using stock eccentric shafts that have been modified while others completely built their own to suit their needs. i've got a bunch of shafts just lying around(no pun intended).

I also captured a 5 second glimpse of this 4 rotor near the end of this vid at 2.47.
