You Floridians are to darn crazy, maybe its all that sun and fine women thats affecting you guys While most people dream of having the power of a 3 rotor you and the "mad scientist" Crispeed, rip out the 3 rotor to stuff in a 4 ..
I think we need some of that sun & women up on this side, its so boring around here with all these 700hp 2 rotors

crispeed any pics of the crank shaft ?

out of intrest do you set it up so rotor 1 and 3 are similar and 2 and 4 are as well ?
Or are all 4 out of phase slightly ?

And if all are out of phase, what ECU do you use to run it ?

So this is what you've been up to...
Anyone who's as desperate as me to hear this thing, listen to this in the meanwhile:
(it's kind of like jerking off to internet ****, not the real thing but a temporary solution )

4 rotor turbo sound

**** is getting awfully silly around these parts.

Chris, would you mind sharing the overall length of the engine as it is, without a front pulley?
About 28"?

It's 26" to where the pulley goes on the front cover and about 28-29" to the actual front of the oil pump.

Is there anything special about the two center housings supplied from Kiwi in the kit?
Suppose you wanted to use the RB aluminum int housings, would that be a problem?
