apparently David Mazzei gets it done.... this was written by him in 2021:
"Hello,
My name is David Mazzei with Mazzei Formula LLC. Background is in rotary engines and tuning. This week we are beginning our new project with an early model SLC, purchased from the family of a recently passed member, David Preece. David was a big rotary enthusiast, super awesome guy, with dreams of completing a 3 rotor project in this platform. His wife had listed this car for sale, and we came down to San Francisco, from Alabama to pick it up and continue the legacy. Super thrilled to be able to finally work on one of these cars, and thankful for all of those who have pushed the envelope in this platform. Seems like a very tight and friendly community. Stopped by QRP in stockton and had awesome few hours talking with Ted and Don, checking out there amazing work while talking aero, suspension, and racing.
Currently working with Todd Budde from Forcefedfab in San Antonio, who is assisting in the major chassis fabrication required, and professional imsa driver Bryan Leonard, who will be testing/chassis tuning the platform upon completion, and assisting in development of aero/suspension
The Goal: 5 Rotor, first one in the world. Crank shaft is currently off for balancing. We plan to run a billet engine, full peripheral port, and a modified g57 turbo to achieve around 1500rwhp and produce a v10 f1 sound. Rotary fires 1x per rev, 4 stroke piston fires once ever other rev. With the 72* lobe angle offsets, and an equal length 5 into 1 collector with merge angle and collector design mimicking the 787b 4 rotor, we theorize it should sound identical to a v10 f1 at 18,000 when running at 9k rpm. Major third harmonic, 1 being root tonic, and the 3rd and octave above the root.
Intake will be water to air intercooler plenum, we will run 3 heat exchangers, 2 oil coolers
Mechanical fuel pump cable drive, custom bulkhead / tank built around the engine
Holinger MTX transmission with geartronic paddleshift"
David's fully streetable creation was truly one of the stars of the show and we are talking PRI 2025/Indianapolis. five rotor peripheral port billet rotary that sounds as good as the power it makes. a 2700 pound 1500 hp rocket featuring enough rear weight to actually use most of the power.
David is, of course, no stranger to rotaries having written a significant part of the book in the "blazing new trails section."
youboob is full of self-promoting, wannabe “experts”, but Dave’s got the knowledge, skill, and resources to pull off anything he sets his mind to do!
