New Rotor technology
this r the rotors that are being assembled and in the process of being tested ill keep this updated when ever it gets tested http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/donjmp/lopez.jpg

They look like Billet Aluminum.
What are the weight savings??? L8R |

SO, they are finally out!!! How much do they weight, and whats the compression? |
Are they rotors designed by Lopez or rotors improved on by Lopez?
|
nice....
|
ok they r down to 6 pounds the goal is to take em down to 5, stock rotors r 9 pounds, as for the compression its up to w/e the buyer wants, and this rotors are designed by alex lopez along with E&J autoworks....

small correction with the creation of the Billet Rotor

So, have these been ran in a motor yet ?
|
Looks great Edgar, if you need another test motor mine will be going together soon :lol:

oh, and glad you're coming out with all these badass parts for rotaries........ keep em coming.

+1, looks great but how do they work?

Also don't forget aluminum expands with less heat than steel.It also looks like
there is no pockets for oil to circulate inside the rotor to cool it down. I think these rotors will work best with ALKY setups where you only run for short burts of power and don't need the extra cooling. It will be cool to get the rotor ceramic coated for better heat and wear distribution. |

Man if they work as good as they look..you guys will be onto something huge!
|
The rotors were installed and started. they ran until the engine got to about 200 degrees and turn off. This was done 10 time and every thing seems to be ok. It starts fine when hot and cold. The next test is to run them on the dyno. wish us luck.
A video can be seen on youtube and search under "billet rotor" or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmAxCTTn-NA |
need to make them out of what mahle uses, if you ask me.. I'd buy it..
|
I was there for three out of the ten times it ran that day.
Keeping fingers crossed for the next best thing that will happen for the rotary motor! :) RPM to the mooooon! :lol: |
NICE!!!!
Is it running a bolt in center section like we were talking about? If top fuel dragsters could get an aluminum piston to work with all that heat, then its only a matter of time before our guys get it figured out.. |
|
Good luck. :icon_tup:
|
Really interesting! If it really work then we will see +12 000 rpm motors in the future! Imagine the power of a N/A 13B at 13 000 rpm... 450 hp??
