BYC, is she your girl or wife? Very very nice... Have you tried making a thick center for a 2rotor to 3rotor conversion along with a new e-shaft like I brought a long time ago? Would be a great kit for a lot of people and would sell like hot cakes if you priced it right!!!

Yeah theres a some money in 20B shafts, from what I hear when drag racers ruin a 3 rotor shaft they have to buy another 20B just for the shaft.

I have a new boat being built that should be done in three to four months that I'm going to put two in which is why I started working on it again, and there is a guy from Australia that may want one for a drag car.

yes, I'm working with turbosource ( TurboSource.com - Turbochargers | Turbo Components | Heat Management | Performance Parts | Fabrication Supply ) on getting the blow off valves, wastegates, and adaptronic computers for it. Have not decided how big of turbos to put on it yet, I'm thinking two turbos that would supply enough air for 3600 hp to start with.

The coolant holes in the housing seem small, are you sure you have enough flow especially for the application?

My coolant holes have more surface area to dissipate the heat then a factory housing.
several small holes have more surface area then one big hole. And we have an unlimited supply of cold water.

With all that exhaust energy your going to be able to use some big turbos. A couple off a big diesel train engine might work! Hahaha

It is going to use a pair of T6 119+mm units. 122mm is the biggest T6 " aftermarket performance " turbos one can buy. They are rated around 2000hp per unit, so we will start with that, and if necessary I guess its add 2 more, or move to industrial based units. One step at a time!

looks like we may dyno the 12 rotor on Wednesday. any guesses on what it is going to make? naturally aspirated , the porting would be the equivalent of a big street port.

A "normal" 4-rotor N/A would do about 350-450hp I think, so three of them will be about 1350hp. But still I think we aim low.
My guess is 1350hp on pump gas.
