4 Rotor 2.6L RX-7

Stumbled accross this on the internet today, thought it was pretty interesting. Cant say that I've ever seen a 4 rotor Wankel in an RX-7 (would this be considered a 26B?). Thought I'd share it with other Mazda enthusiasts. Cant wait to see the progress of it.

The 787B had a 4 rotor in it. There aren't many 4 rotor cars out there as it requires A LOT of custom parts and fuel management. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. And yes, commonly called the 26B.

I did not know that about the 787B, Thanks Phen!

Last year there was a 4 rotor RX-8 drifting at one of the shows. They kept having fuel issues though. It will be interesting to follow this build.
