Dude thats badass! hmm whats next a Boxer Engine? bahaha jk :lol:
|
ah damnit i just spent an hour on this and no video! :sadwavey:
|
we wnat videooo lol
sick shit right here |
After taking the engine apart twice, going through 3 glow plugs and resurfacing the housings...SUCCESS!!!
https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...pictureid=7990 I will post a video tonight of the engine running for two ~20 second intervals! I need to work on tuning, so it will hold idle. It has little vibration and sounds great running! |
You win!
|
Here is the promised video...hopefully have a full length video next week after tuning. Anyone with nitro experience that wants to offer advice on tuning, I will gladly take it.
Here are some pictures of the final engine in my album.

omg omg omg omg omg omg :fruit: :fruit: :fruit: thats fcken badddd assssssssss i want one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
^thanks man...it took a while to get to this point but I couldn't be happier!
|
major props:rock:
|
soooo are you gonna mass produce it? i really want one
|
the thought never crossed my mind, if I could find a machine shop that would do CNC for a reasonable price it is a possibility for small runs (I can buy the rotor and rotor housing premade already.
I'm not a full time machinist (new hobby of mine) and have to remake a lot of parts due to stupid errors, so for me to mass produce by hand would cost a lot due to scrapped parts. The e-shaft took me 5 attempts to finally get right :shocking:. Just a rough guess would put the price ~$1300 or so (mostly machine shop fees and OS Engine parts). For a new rotor and rotor housing it is $240 and you need two, so the kit would already be at $580 for existing OS Engines parts. Here is a price page for some of the OS Wankel Parts I could look into producing the custom parts for sale and leaving the OS Engine parts up to the consumer as well as a full kit? I would not even be looking for a big profit because I enjoy this type of work. I wonder if they would sell at that price? Thanks again everyone I'll think this one over. |
pretty pricey, but you gotta pay to play! i wanna see that thing push an rx8
|
This is one of the coolest threads on the site.
|
Lookin good Brent, guess what I got an extra of in the mail,,,
we can scan it in to get the lines of the body then surface model over top of it,,, |
awesome man, that woudl be many time easier than trying to make a model from scratch! I know once this is tuned I will want to tag that extra rotor onto the existing design. I do have the materials necessary...
|
Amazing !!
Great job :-) |
wwooooooooooaaahh.........screw 4th of july fireworks
this was so much better lol |
damn dude, I dont have audio at my home pc so I watched this again and daamnnn sounds better than most peoples real cars here,,,

You should be real proud of yourself..you are VERY Clever to persevere. Thought about a production line?? |
Forgot to ask...what is it's engine model designation???
A "2B" or a 3X |
thanks everyone, I appreciate it a lot!
I was talking about production a few posts before, but for pretty much just a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) I would put it around $1300-$1500. This would probably result is very little interest. If I could find a reasonably priced machine shop I would have no problem producing them for those interested. Each of the OS engines have a displacement of 4.97cc so for the two of them it would be 9.94cc. Could that make it a 10X, 1X or .1X? It would be nice to have a name for it. |
Absolutely brilliant! Love the sound and appreciate the effort :) Great job!
|
Well it is close enough to a 10CC Twin Rotor.
I would call it an E for Edwards... So it would be a .1E |
thanks
.1E, I like it! thanks ash |
nice job, really cool project !
