If you're even semi-serious about this you should talk to the folks at Mazmart.

https://www.rx8club.com/mazmart-88/4-rotor-flyby-154853/

According to Paul it was near 100k for the engine and that wasn't a Rene 13b. Only one group has managed to put together a 3-rotor out of the renesis 13B somewhere in England though no one's ever seen a dyno of it and they put it in a FD.

If this really gets going then this thread should be moved to the "Major Horsepower Upgrades" section of the board!

No. I mean where on planet Earth are you doing this.

Don't expect to drive your car for a very long time. Good luck all the same.

I cant believe you were actually serious...when this thread started I thought it was just some idiot that knew nothing. You sure proved me wrong.


Good luck with your project. Hope you have the time and money, I want to see this happen!

Also, get a sweet picture with your engine components spread out before you assemble it. Then keep more pictures coming.
