Pineapple racing has one that could be for sale. It would be built for what ever you want to use it for, but your talking big $$ for it. Any ways there is someone in NZ that sells the shafts, i think they are like $1500 or so mabe more. Cant remember who it was but thats about the going price for the shaft and then you would need the special housing also.

You can get 13J (4-rotor) engines from Mazdaspeed... I think they're $20-30,000. That's a Mazda factory 4-rotor.

When the word 4 rotor is mentioned 98% of the time it like 2 13b's together. 2.6 liter. Sometimes its 12a but hardly never.

It's not a 1.3 4-rotor. It's a 4-rotor based off of the 13B rotor size. The 13J is a 4-rotor and the 13G is the 3-rotor. The 13G evolved into the 20B, for what it's worth.

Did you READ the thing at Granny's? They don't "build" 4-rotors. They made one once and raced it, until they broke an oil line off and decided it was so much of a PITA to tear it all back down and re-build it that they went the easier, cheaper route and built up a small-block.

I'm sure the EPA would intercept the engine before it got within 100 miles of your car. Can you say single digit city MPG?

There is a guy in New Zealand named Jeff Bruce. He built Hitmans 3 rotor. He custom builds mutirotor engine (3 and 4). He does all the work on the e-shafts and housings needed. He will even build a center bearing for a 2 rotor if needed. His e-mail address is precisin@ihug.co.nz He has always returned my e-mail very quickly. If you use icq his number is 15067117.

You're very close, the 787B had a 700bhp R26B four rotor... too bad that engine is illegal for Le Mans now. Just when a rotory wins it, they have to change the rules
