Do you have the 40-50K dollars to build one?

If not, then yes, you do need comments like that.

easy answer ......NO!

longer answer......... if you have the money to buy a 4-rotor, then you have the money and means to make it fit! a lot of fabbing will need to be done, radiator will have to be mounted much closer to the front, and yadda yadda!

dam for the price of an engine like that I'd rather buy a different car with ***** without mods. Some people never make sense.

Wouldn’t it be possible to have a 6,7,8,... rotor engine. I mean it’s all the same you would just keep adding rotor housings and intermediates all day long if you wanted to right? As long as you fabed all the pieces to fit all the # of rotor housings such as intake/exhaust manifold etc. it would be limitless true.

and how owuld you time that many? or even pay for the E-shaft that would have to be made, youd need alot intermediate housings with support bearings

u can buy this kit and thats most off the hard bits for just over 4k, so how can a 26b end up costing so much?

How about a 23A?

Here is where to get a 23A e-shaft http://www.autotechmotorsports.com/products.htm

It's easily possible, and there are products out there for it. However it's going to cost a fair amount and need some fabrication to make it work.

where the hell did the $40k figure come from?

i bet i could build a running 4 rotor for under $25k

the hardest part to come by is the eccentric shaft, the rest is pieced and fabbed together, they just are uncommon engines because you can't buy an eccentric shaft for them just anywhere or bolt up OEM manifolds or OEM ECU.
