Kinda. It was two 2 rotors strapped together (in series I think).

Maho everything you say is negative about "rich" people. My guess is you are poor and always will be with that mentality. I've worked my butt off for what I have and every wealthy person I know has done the same.

If someone wants to keep details of a project secret, that is their business. The only hate I see in this entire thread is from you. So stay out of it!

Put more time into being positive and creating a better life for yourself instead of being negative about everyone else...and if you can't then gtfo.

Either this project will happen in the next year or two or it won't. Will be interesting to follow either way.

seems like the only crybaby here is you dude. if you cant say something positive then shut the f@#$ up. instead u should credit rob with wanting to share whatever he does with us on the forum. if they are so common build ur own. then maybe u can even put it up against robs. lmao

Thumbs up CLR Motorsports Mass Production of Peripheral Port Housings

Well today was part one of the 13b Peripheral Port Housings Fabrication. here are some pics of what went on inside that Machine room. There are housings there for two engines. One set is for my 26b and the other is for a 20b also being built by Carlos Lopez for my Partners car.

Bro keep quite, you're giving New Yorkers a bad name... Whould you wanna give out detailed info on a race car that you're building that could be seen by your sunday competition? Its really simple, not everything is posted on the internet....This aint show and tell all


Housings look sweet all lined up like that... Seems like FL is the place to be if you want a 4 rotor built

the best part about this project is we will get to see the finished product. i have seen so many people start a project and not finish it, especially on this forum. Rob will finish it and it will be at a local track for everyone's veiwing enjoyment.

keep up the good work rob.

You're the one acting a like little kid dude, coming in here verbally shitting on others peoples projects. But I digress, I should be empathetic, it would be hard to see that your a jealous hater if my head were shoved as far up my own *** as yours is buddy.

BTW be sure to mosey on over to the other swap threads, especially the fellas who are doing V8 conversions and 20B conversions. I am sure they would appreciate your sentimentality towards others projects and property. OH and don't forget to **** and moan about how poor you are.

I am curious on how you will keep this thing cool. Under heavy load, I would think the water will lose cooling efficiency by the time it gets to the last housing.

Maybe split the cooling duties, two radiators, one co0ling one half of the motor and another cooling the other, powered by electric water pumps.

That is an interesting question though.

That has already been figured out and tested but not only am i unable to explain it, Im also not in a position to do so. This technology for the 4 rotor comes from a proven technology already desiged and tested by CLR Motorsports (Carlos Lopez) in his 3 rotor engines. he has taken that same inovation with some modifications and applied it to his 4 rotor builds. If there are any questions pertaining to this, they would have to be directed towards him by contacting him personally.

According to the p/n from his box in the first post, N304-10-100C, those are the housings he's claiming them to be. I can't prove the pictured housings came from the boxes he posted up but.. nonetheless, "N304-10-100C" is for 1984-85 "GSL-SE" front/rear housings. I just can't prove they're the same housings in your quoted image.

hwnd is correct. Those ARE GSL-SE housings. They did not have coolant flowing through the ports. They are undrilled, as in the picture above. They also did not have any extra holes below the exhaust ports.

thanx guys. i have since found out that the SE engines were also preproduction fc engines. since all the engines i've delt with were 12a and 13b 4 ports, i've never actually had an intake off of an SE engine.
