are any well known people running these?

They were in a RB catalog from roughly 10 years ago. So, no.

I see :)

I have a very good feeling that we could see an all aluminum engine from the drag guys in under 2 years... Billet rotors & 20b thick plate are in testing, and if they work then front & rear plates could soon follow.. I herd through a very reliable source that someone in the US is looking into the idea of "replacement rotor housing sleeves".. I guess they will press out the steel "band" that your apex seals ride on, then press in the new replacement part once your housing has no cranks.. If you look closely at the steel band you would notice it has alot of small "teeth" around the diameter that's pressed into the aluminum housing.. I guess only time will tell if all these new advances & ideas make it into production, so let's keep our fingers crossed & show support to the few companies thats taking our little engine to the next level :icon_tup:

not entirely true......... woman

what about the crank?

and whos makin sleeves, donkey? e&j?


and why hasn't someone made these already? it seems simple I guess........ and cheap

what about the crank?... Pato
few people are already making billet cranks, but I've herd stories of 900hp on a stock shaft

what the heck is a pato? :hahaha:

who's making billet cranks?

Pato is what we call anyone from IL with the name Viking war hammer :rlaugh: <-- someone quote that :rlaugh:

Shafts:
Rohan Ambrose- guru/xtreme rotaries
MPS- Canada but think they NLA
plus others that have grounded their own

You can doubt my claim all you want......I'm just relaying what I've been told. Sorry, I don't make stuff up.

I didn't know those were billet

You obviously never been to the Drag Racing section :lol:

Amidst the shit talk, there is alot of good info... You boys take this forum to serious, lighten up and get to know your fello rotor brother the way Eric (Viking war Hammer) and I know each other :icon_tup:


Eric honey, I believe the Guru shaft is made from 4130 Aircraft grade steel, but im not 100% sure... Rocky said the Billet center plated performed very well and it's wear resistance is alot better than a factory plate... My other question to him was, why not make a 13b billet intermidate plate that way it could be use for 2,3 & 4 rotor engines, but he hasn't replied... They would sell alot more 13b intermaidate plates then they would 20b center plates, but I guess they have their reasons...

Eric there was also a custom 20b shaft that was made by Mike Long over at Gforce transmission for Abel, but I think it didn't work to well for him... Ask him

Ionno, I guess the lack of info on something like these housings just ticked me off when I saw a whole page full of nothing >_>. I'm talking with Racing Beat directly now anyway.

thewird

So what exactly did he say?

Did the side housings warp and if so, what were the possible reasons why?
What was the reason they decided to switch back or was he just trying to save you and themselves a buck by suggesting to stick with the stock irons?
I'm sure there were a few more details in your conversation you can think of.


I'm not trying to be a prick, I just want some useful info instead of generic/generalized statements like "race conditions."
That is a phrase reserved for an explanation by experts towards novices or for novices trying to be an expert.
Don't be afraid to share.
There's a needle in a haystack if I've ever there was one :D

Keep this thread on topic and informative please... Take the shit to the lounge. I'm going to pay more attention to the Drag Racing forum as well...

No worries mate.

He said they found cracking, not warping. If you want, when I'm out at sevenstock I can get more details for you. I'd rather get a better description of exactly what was cracking.

Jeff Kiesel converted his rotary powered Sprite from a 3 rotor peripheral port to an all aluminum 2 rotor turbo (motor built by RB). This is a built for autox car, so doubt it will answer any longevity issues from a road race or street use perspective.
