I wanted to try this last year, but I couldn't figure out how to couple them together. Wiring harness would be easy. Exhaust..... easy-ish, I'm guessing. Motor engine mounts, cooling... well not it's gotten interesting and much more difficult. Sadly you could probabyl do this for less than a 20B swap.

you sure i about that?
if they are couple together then it will still be a dual 2 rotor engine.plus if one rotor fires before the other it will snap the coupler. perhaps they have a 4 rotor eccentric shaft and used two 13brew engines to put it together?

Different way of doing the Quad Rotor set up. I am guessing most of you have never seen the Quad rotor form New Zealand then? You tube Mad Mike or Red Bull RX7. There are kits you can buy over here from PPRE to build your own out of 13B housing and plates. I can get you prices etc if you want. OR come to think of it there is a spare one there for $28,000 NZD if you interested 2nd motor for his RX7 Drift Car.
