btw, how did crispeed make your upper intake manifold? looks like nicely shaped sheet metal but i have no idea how he did that. just wondering what he used, so i can do the same for mine.
crispeed did not do anything in this car.....just made me loose 2 1/2 years waiting and paying him for nothing.

Meh... I always fall behind... I just started my 3-rotor project and I find this... :D Very nice! On RX7club at first I thought the first pics were just housings & plates together, I didn't see the bolts and from seing 3-rotors how it's not evenly spaced I thought it was a teaser, but WOW! It *IS* REAL!!! Very impressive!

Just curious, if you already had the motor rebuilt, why new rotors? Was it an NA build, then you decided to go turbo, so you got low compression rotors?

The motor was never put together. Always being a turbo project, we used a mock engine to do all the fab work.

Ahhhh, ok! So 4-rotor plates are equally spaced?

Just in case, I found a pic of a 26B, make sure you have the right plates or you will have to modify your intake & exhaust manifold to match after you put it together.



Never mind! I found the pics of your inner plates & the shaft you're using, looks like it's designed that way, a tiny bit longer than the one I posted.
