RX8 4 Rotor now running!!

Hi Everyone,

I understand that this is an Rx7 forum, but I thought that you may like to see what we have been up to.

Over the last 12 months we have been in the process of building an RX8 4 Rotor, and we have actually had it running for quite some time, but there were a few little things here and there that we weren't quite happy with.

For the time being I have included a couple of links of us testing at Willow Springs, and also on the dyno, and later on I will post up pictures of the build process.

We certainly look forward to Seven Stock, in which we hope to have the car on display!!!

If I have not linked the videos properly, can someone please let me know whats best - it's a shame that I can wire a car, but not know how to upload videos to a forum


Enjoy!!!!

Regards
Sarah

Please please post a dyno chart.

Out of all of the various RX-* motors, the 4 rotor is the one with the least readily available dyno information!

Every time I hear a 4 rotor I just want one badly, even though financially it doesnt make much sense over a 13BT, it just sounds off the charts.

Look forward to seeing more vids and dyno charts.

Any spec details?
