12 rotor engine
My intake runners are almost the exact same length and volume for each intake port, and the small amount of length difference will not make 5 hp difference.
Anyway, I have been working on it some but have been in Tampa Florida for the last couple weeks helping get a new boat done to make the destin poker run, I will be back to working on the engine full time next week. I will post more pics next week.
I just read your post again, I guess you mean about that I have one row of rotors spinning opposite of the direction of the others? I designed it that way 50 % for looks to make the engine look more symmetrical, and 50% to make the engine run smoother, not to torque as bad one direction when revved.

I didn't realise that one of the banks went the opposite way round. Makes this engine even more awesome!
BYC is it possible to make your Ritor housing sleeves, let's say 5mm wider? To then have some custom CNC'd rotors, to make a 15B engine? Obviously a custom e shaftwould be needed too.

premixing fuel does not harm emissions or hurt performance by any noticable amount by the way. i have had more than a few people claim to have a better feel from the engine after switching to premix however.
just an FYI.

update...
here are the apex seals getting opened up to be installed into the rotors today.
notice there are enough for twelve rotors.
I have spent the last week and all weekend working on the engine. our boating season is finally over so now I am going to work on it every day till its done..

yep, they are ra super seals. we have edm'ed our own seals but I dont want to use them in this first engine. We will be testing our seals once we have time, but would rather use something that already has a history in this first engine.
yes I did buy a set of factory springs also.

I think a better question would be, who DOESN'T want to see a 12 rotor. I mean a 3 rotor awesome, 4 rotor ******* sweet, but 12 rotor?? I don't there are words to describe how awesome that would be.
Are prom queens easy? Do wild bears **** in the woods? Does wile e. Coyote want roadrunners *** for dinner?
