I wonder how they did it. The only 4 rotor wankel is the R26B that mazda raced in LeMans

 

[Salmon_Rob]

LOTS of home made 4 rotors - basically they take 2 13b's and attach them to eachother (i know this is oversimplifying but you get the idea), and some companies make them, scoot for example

What about the eccentric shaft? I imagine is custom made.

 

[SlowPro98]

Holly crap! am i crazy or did the manifold ignite during stage 2?!?!?!

 

[mattyp747]

yes there was some nice flames!

i've posted this video elsewhere - the motor goes in a BMW dragster - which has one of the most gorgeous paint jobs you've ever seen.

hows it go on the quarter? saw it up close and personal on its first competition with the new motor, and they were having lots of clutch issues (throwing way to much clutch at it) and it just wasn't getting off the line.

The old setup (twin turbo, 1200ish hp) was doing mid 7's - which isn't fast by even triple rotary standards (which can pull high 6's to low 7's) but the car has barely had a years worth of development since being put together...
shoudl be good for a low 6 once they get their stuff sorted...
oh video doesn't do it justice, sitting up close and personal to it is almost a religious experience
