I dont know, but try spot welding the body for added stiffness. Just an idea.

 

That is a task i have seen others do. And im sure it works real well. But my figure is that with the role cage and strut bars and the car weighing in at just under 2000lb. this is a Rotary engine and the torque is just not high enough to flex this chassis. At about 340hp to the flywheel you are looking at maybe 270 torque. that wont even flex a stock chassis with no role cage.

 

any updates?

 

+1!

 

Here are the pics of the Housings finished with the P-Port sleeve installed and ported along with the exaust port timing done and matched to a Factory Mazda Race Housing. Templates Priovided By CLR Motorsports. As far as progress. the side plates have been lapped and painted as well and all that needs to be done now is some clearance grinding on the rx8 rotors and some other mods and this engine is ready for Stacking. According to the engine bulider (CLR Motorsports) this may be finished by Early January 2007.

 

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I finally got the car to my friends shop Yesterday and after a full days work, finished mounting the Radiator and 2 oil coolers. There is a Local Race Series that will be held here at Homestead that will start with the first race on May 17th. Im shooting to have the car done by then. Monday i will be completing the brake lines and mounting the Brake fluid Resiviors.

 

Oh and if anyone is interested, here is the website to the new Homestead Series.

Looking good Rob.
You're almost there.

 

Thanks cris!

 

Been working on this thing three times a week for about 9 hours at a time after regular work. We must have over 180 hours into this since we started and there are 2 of us.

 

Got A Bandsaw!!!!!!

 

great. another track car, using what it supposed to be used for. welcome to the club. want wait to see it in action! wish you could have brought it to the track day at homestead this past weekend! but whenever it gets finished i guess.

 

WOW, def. a nice big update this time. The car really looks like it's getting there now.

 

Alright! Awesome to see the way things are coming around Rob.

Power Stering Pump With Mini Cooler

 

Its taken a long time of Tideous labor hours and work by both CLR Motorsports (Carlos Lopez) and I to bring this motor to reality. Plans are to have this motor on the engine dyno for break in by next Tuesday!!

 

All I can say is WOW!!! Thats mad paper

 

Nice!!!!

 

nice!

 

i dont understand what are thos big pipes going from the housing all the way up are for.. or what they do

 

Peripheral papa!!!!!

 

As of this past saturday, the engine was broken in nicely. Sounds Awsome and made real good torque on the engine dyno. I have to say that Carlos Lopez has come up with a really productive combination to make these 2 rotor pp engines make all this power. Now that the engine is in the car, we will be making the engine harness and finalizing the little things left to have this car on the homestead speedway for the July 14-16 farausa.com race. Slowly but surely after a little over a year. this project will be comming together.

Thanks to all for all your ideas and support
And a special Thanks to Carlos Lopez from CLR Motorsports for this awsome engine pakage he has put together.
And a big Thanks from the bottom of my heart to Al Delrisco From BMF Racing for all his fabrication and technical ideas that have made it possible to have this project become a reality.

 

very clean work

 

Hey Rob, make sure you post a reminder about the race in a week or two. I'm sure I speak for more than myself when I say I would be interested in going to watch
