looks like ya gotta relocate the steering rack tho. not something I would like to do.

 

ive seen a 4 rotor on a 3rd gen and i was wondering since the motor sits soo low, how do they change the plugs?

 

reach for the ones you can. but the rest you have to get while its on a lift. lol

 

wow

 

wow. 600+ hp on an fd better clear 10's, maybe 9's....8's? i'v seen 3 rotors knock down 8's. a 4 rotor better do the same. our 13b's are capable of 10's come on

4 rotor engine = 28000

custom manifold = 2500

2 gt42rs = 4000

everything else to run = 20000

severe traction problems = 0

most unique and powerful FD ever = priceless

 

You bump a 2.5 year old thread to say this?

 

haha. yes

 

I have been lucky enough to build a 3 rotor short crank built partially by Kiwi-re . I get this sort of thing all the time with people telling me their mate can put a 20B in an FD for such and such . At the end of the day you are paying for the best money can buy and its all the little things that add up for a reliable tough engine . When I take people for a ride they are simply blown away and can see where the money goes . Yes you can chuck in a 20B but will it last 6 months ? They offer a service for the sort of customer that WANTS to put their money where their mouth is and build what they are paying for . Yes 20B's are great but they have limit when used in standard form ( reliability ) .

 

at least he searched...

 

That car was Autotechs, if it was from the last few Sevenstocks. Thier four rotor is based off of 12a housings and is not much, if at all, longer than a 20b. They custom grind their own e-shafts. Their first design did not work too well. Since then they have redisigned the e-shaft and that is what wasd in the car as of SS8.

Unfortunately, none of my pics show access to the plugs but iirc, it wasn't that bad.

 

why dont just go buy a 2006 Z06...save bunch of headache.

 

Well, if you want inspiration, there was a 4-rotor 510 at last year's sevenstock.

 

because a turbocharged 4 rotor would eat up a turbo c6 zo6...

 

You might want to think about that.

 

well, il think about this, the 4 rotor would produce 1000+ hp if built correctly. and the few companies to build the ls7 turbo so far produce in the neighborhood of 800-900 hp. but im sure no problem for the ls7 built to exceed 1000+ hp. i guess it comes down to which actually hooks it up.

 

Agreed, but which will last longer? love the smoothess of the rotor engine but it's so freaking fragile...dont know when it gonna pop.

 

some people really enjoy projects dude. Besides there is an overwhelming cool factor in building your own 4 rotor rx-7.

 

i wonder if theres ever been an attepmy to add rotors to a renesis motor to make a 3 or 4 rotor version of it.

 

....20b FD 4-sale 0 miles $27K ...price drops $1k every so often...could use some wider wheels lol

or taking pictures of one and coming to this site to post and say it's yours.

Actually that sounds kind gay.

here is my car

As for the pricing, consider this a 720 hp Carbed V8 by AmericanSpeed intended for use in the Ultima GTR is 26,000 but it is drysump.

Personally I think if there is a place to put a 4 rotor it is in an Ultima GTR, there at least room is not a problem and your would be around 950kgs. Also you already would have the best suspension, cooling and all the rest.

 

That's a pretty big assumption.

dont make assumptions. i mean turbo 4 rotor. if one want o build a 4 rotor turbo to 1000+hp, its definatly possible.

 

Because it sounds like it is powered by a tractor engine and looks like a glorified Pontiac.


Hey RT I noticed you live in Charlotte. What part?
