Needs at the minimum.

- Proper tubular exhaust manifold.
- Nice sounding exhaust.
- Proper intake manifolds
- Retune.

I think it will sound much better. Intake/Exhaust manifold work can do wonders for a car's sound.

indeed! Twin Turbo or wait, giant single turbo! Ohh yeah it does sound bad but cool nonetheless! Don't see 4 rotors everyday and the guy has a 3 rotor as well in an another vid.

I'm guessing they bought the 4 rotor e-shaft kit, got 2 13b's and a 20b center iron and put it all together. Looking at the video again, that exhaust header seemed to be build either in an extreme hurry or someone who had no idea. Its poor design. Regardless, very nice project

It looks like the exhaust is nearly stock judging by the exhaust dual tip.

I Wouldnt expect this to sound like a 26b neither. ITs not peripheral. WHo knows what they did witht he intake ports. BUt, who cares this **** is interesting.=D

ok so, still wondering, what is going on here? Any explanation on how this is done? Are the rotors all at different angles or are they firing in pairs?

What a rough exhaust manifold. I could build a better one on a trampoline in an elevator.

The fact that it runs is a miracle! Not exactly what I was expeting, but this is the one I was hearing about. Still cool regardless.

This is what the owner wrote in the description on youtube,"This was a project that took about five years of weekends to put together. There was a lot of trial and error as jury-rigged parts were improvised and revised, leaks were identified and plugged, and byzantine electrical diagrams were decoded. It still does not run smoothly, as there likely is a problem with the intake system that has prevented smooth timing at idle. But she runs!" And in the comments it says,"The eccentric shaft was special ordered from a shop in Australia. It is a single piece and defines the cycle of all four rotors." and also it has a microtech EMS
