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
Papito and the crew of Time Machine, which are good friends of mine, made a small mistake when placing some information on this great site. I would like to take the time to make that correction. We, at E&J Autoworks, are the creators and designers of this rotor with the help of Alex Lopez, which without his help, could not be done. I want to take the time to thank one of my great friends, Leigh Cowlbeck and Alex Lopez for taking time from his busy schedule to build us a test motor. the rotors or upcoming , lopez Racing or Papito from time machine, car with the "fastest 2 rotor with independent suspension". I also want to let every one know that we working on making the rotary motors more powerfull and reliable. We apologize for any misinformation which may have gotton out of hand. Thank You

The big problems will be: Gear and roll-pin install and wear. Bearing pressing and wear. And the big one is the seals wearing into the rotor.....i.e. the apex seal wearing ("rounding") the tip of the rotor from thier "side to side" movement. And the same goes for the side seals too.

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.

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

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..
