3 Rotor Rx-8,Single Turbo-Alamo Rotary
 

3 Rotor Rx-8 professionally built to show standards by Alamo Rotary.

how long did it take?

Very Nice.

240 hrs total.

Wow, nice!! That makes 6 of them I believe, with a few in progress. This one is very clean! Dyno numbers?

A thing of beauty!!!

very nice!

wow! I think I just splooged.

yep. I did.

:Drooling_ :Drooling_

This one's been around for about 3 years now. It's a beautifull piece of work in person.

I have not been able to dyno since my AEM boost controller is not working.I will limit the engine to 500 rwhp since i am using the stock Rx-8 Transmission.

So roughly 1 1/2 months if one mechanic worked on it full time. How long in real world time did you have to wait for it to get done?

good job nicely done..:yesnod:

Could you tell us how much the entire conversion cost you? Or maybe Alamo could chime in on the cost of 20b conversion for an rx8. I'm sure a lot of us have been dreaming of something like this and I hope I dont have to be put back into reality :)

I thought Alamo Rotary went out of business last year.

I believe this is the guy that owned Alamo Rotary.

I first built the 3 Rotor NA and i spent about $18,000 in 2005.The car was down for about 3 months.Here recently added a turbo and it set me back another $10,700.Keep in mind this is parts only with no mark up and no labor cost since i did the work.Tag on the $25,000 i paid for the car for a total of $53,700.If i was to charge a customer for labor you will add another $15,600(240 hrs @ $65.00).This car was also built for car shows so the cost is also higher.Is it worth it?Down to the very last penny.It sounds and runs like no other car.I get Rx-8 owners follow me to my house wanting to know which muffler i have since the will like their car to sound like mine.
Alamo Rotary is not out of business,we just run a much smaller operation and are mostly building 3 Rotors.I just finished a 3 Rotor for a customer in Singapore.It will be the first 3 Rotor Rx-7 there and i am proud to be one who built it.

JUST BEAUTIFUL!! And expensive :)

Very nice :) Got any videos I can drool over by any chance?

I posted a walk around with sound on you tube.Just search for 3 Rotor Rx-8.I tried to post a link but its not working.

Very nice.. I wish I had one of those

45k is a lot of money but a 3 rotor is so bad ass

Very funny:lol:

what a yellow and not blue? ;)

beers :beer:

very nice. one of the best set-ups ever

Can't wait to this in person at TX statewide meet

Not really. Try to find that mix of power and performance in another car. Plus back seats. :lol:

That sounds so mean.

Here is a pic of my car with the mach 3 rotor in it. There's been a lot more progress since then. 3 months ago!

when I will be able to do something like this :) !!

How about..... Tomorow..

we all wanna know....how much POWER?????

license plate aside, it's very understated and i think that's my favorite part. very nicely done.

tomorrow dont think so but when I got house with garage then more possible!!

Another reason to go for vacation to PR !!:)

Deff a clean swap. I can dig it.

Well that completely convinces me to hold onto my RX8 forever and eventually swap in a 20b :)

More videos! Do a drive by and stuff, I wanna hear more of those 3 triangles at work!

Edit: Sorry to bring up an old thread, I just don't think it should've ever died out.

saw this beast at the TX state meet. phenominal. it made me feel hopeless and worrthless having to follow it some of the way. i also ended up sandwiched between this and the 3 rotor rx7 that made it out. that made me want to commit suicide. lol not really.

this is a great looking 8 oh and the 3 rotor is nice too haha!!!! I wish i had the funds to "throw" a 20B inthere!
