I've seen the atkins single rotor engine. Is there anyone else out there who makes a single rotor engine. How about a tranny, something that would fit in a mini engine bay and still maintain fwd. Been some rotary nuts on the mini forum wanting to go rotary, and i've been entertaining the idea of a turbo charged single rotor. Any creative ideas out there?

single rotor engines are very unstable, thats why mazda discontinued them prior to the 10A engine.

measure it up, i think the width (if the motor is sideways to keep the fwd) is your limit.

Here is a 12A Torbo 1 rotor that Pettit racing made. You might want to contact them. From what I understand this car is really fast too.

A guy in georgia makes 1 2 and 3 rotor motors of his own design. I'll see if i can get info tomorrow on if he wants to sell them. Last time I heard from him, the single rotor turbo was making 200hp and 100ft/lbs. I'll send you a PM, my boss will be driving his 3 rotor Spice GTP car in june, so i'll se firsthand how his products are



Convert the car to rear drive and put a stock 13b 4 port in it
