6 Rotor RX-4
http://www.facebook.com/PulsePerformance?sk=wall
these guys claim to be building a 6 rotor RX-4. im really not sure if i believe it, let alone believe it will work. thoughts? |
Humm
2= V6 3= V8 4= V10 5=V12 6= V:Eyecrazy: Back to the Future............ |
I would like to see numbers on that!!!
|
I cant begin to imagine how much fuel it would require JUST to start it up. The e-shaft has to be worth more than a gold mine itself
|
If you could put a man on the moon, then anything is possible.
|
Jeff Bruce @ Precision Engineering can supply you with the parts
http://www.precisionengltd.co.nz/rotary.html |
do you think its possible though? he said in his post that all the research and development was done, all that is left is fab work. he also inlcuded in the post that he built Mad Mike's 26B rx-7...i really want to see what this thing will be capable of and what they will use it for. he also said it weighs less than a boosted 26B, quite impressive
|
I have to really question if this is worth anything but bragging. If you want to reach a certain power goal while staying NA, I guess this would be what to do. But it seems like a 3 or 4 rotor engine with FI would be easier and easily reach most power goals. The picture they posted isn't loading for me... Is there any indication of what the purpose for this build is?

Ok so cat out of the bag all is go for this project now all reserch & development has been done. Time to get the fabrication underway https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...66316880_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...28818383_n.jpg Fuck yo 4 rotor ! |

What ecu will run it?

The Motec 880 is only up to a quad rotor |
2 = Bi-rotor
3 = Tri-rotor 4 = Quad-rotor 5 = Quint-rotor 6 = Sex-rotor This is not a coincidence. |
Oh...my....god.
|
How the heck do you get ahold of a six rotor?
|
This might not be the best place to ask, but how can i get that in my 8? I've been thinking about doing a swap but i didn't want to create a new thread. I have about $4000 dollars to spend. I've done a lot of searching and reading so i think it can be done. What do you think?
:fruit: someone had to do it. sex-rotor. Fitting. That is one long ass engine. |

These are the same guys who have been building all of Mad Mike's cars, can't wait to see what insanity this sex-rotor will produce :D
|
Ok ok ... someone has to say this.
What about the fuel mileage!?!?!!? |
They haven't installed the 3rd wheel yet in place of the standard gas tank so they can fit their "short commute" gas tank.

I have happy :Drooling_ |

what ecu? carbs and distributer. done |
i didnt see anything of what theyre trying to achieve...but i do want to see is this thing redline. i want to see if the e-shaft can really can handle it
|
threads merged
|
:rofl:
Zoom is quicker on the trigger. |
It's over a year old thread ....
But FWIW I thought I would post a link to it .. http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=935195 |
It wouldn't be that hard to find an ecu to run it if they build it much like a flat plane crank V8. In those engines they essentially have two 4 cylinder engines running a the same time since 2 pistons fire at the same time. This is why Ferrari V8's sound so neat. If they did this engine the same way by always having 2 rotors fire at the same time it wouldn't be any different than running a 3 rotor except that the ecu is firing and fueling 2 rotors at a time. It doesn't know that though. Not a very big problem to overcome. If they build the eccentric shaft where each rotor fires independently of another one then they are going to need at least 2 ecu's and a few bottles of aspirin.
My biggest concern for this is cooling. It is going to take several loop lines to evenly flow coolant and even then it will need a special separate water pump to do it. It will have to go dry sump to get the capacity and a larger radiator and oil cooler setup also need to be fit in. The exhaust will definitely be a nightmare but if they do the crank the way I propose they should then it would be nothing more than a dual exhaust with 2 headers that never collect with each other. Again, simple. Intake is open for interpretation and doesn't have to be complicated. Due to the length I personally wouldn't use just one throttle body and plenum. There is a lot to work out with this whole setup. Fitting it in the car may be the easy part. |

multiple electric water pumps, no problem

That thing better run 2's when it's done!

thanks RotaryTherapy now i have to clean my keybaord bro...
|
Most wonder if it can be done - Kiwis just do it .......

good god!
I like how it's not just a total pipe dream....of course the rest of the engine fittings have to be worked out, but there it is, sitting in a real car with tires and suspension! Can't wait to see where this thread goes.... |
That is bad ass... just to see someone do what hasn't been done before. It will sound like armageddon when it idles too, because it will be running like two simultaneous 3-rotor motors.
|
What about Tension Bolt Lengths!!
Another WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I can tell you with 100% certainty that if only longer tension bolts are going to be used to hold the engine together that it will not work regardless of the bolt or stud type used. This engine absolutely needs to have a complete structural cage of some kind built around it or it WILL come apart.
|
^ As much as I'd like to see the engine in person, I don't think I'd care to be anywhere near it if that happens.
|
just a tad ummmmmmmmmmmmmm scary. just a tad.,

Or I hope they video the first start up... |
This looks like it should work they will just be firing 2 rotors at the same time jumping down the line I would assume. My guess the timing would go something like this Rotors # in order ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) 1 + 4 fire then 2 + 5 fire then 3 + 6. That's just my guess i could be wrong. But in all i want to drive it and watch everyone cry in my rear view mirror. LOL

Everyone is wrong about why the world is going to end in 2012.
If this engine works ... it will have enough powa to cause the earth to break orbit |
