Still waiting for the back-order exhaust parts to be shipped.

 

wow this is some extreme stuff going on here, keep us posted as you have. cant wait to hear the engine run, make sure to video the first start.

 

unfortunatley it might take a while for me to get to that point, but at least I will be able to look at my very own 4 rotor e shaft every night before I go to bed

 

Don't forget to rub it down every now and then.



The exhaust parts finally arrived. Two dissassembled 12A header kits and the RB dual pipe center section. Each 180° pair of rotors will receive a short primary system, collected at RB's recommended 10" to 18". The inner diameter will be 1.8" (Standard RB pipe) rather than their recommended 1.9 to 2.0. This is not a problem though as the engine will not be expected to run to the outer limits. A practical RPM limit of 8k is fine. Modest peripheral ports should allow for some street driveability. The HP will still be in excess of 400, which in a 1st gen, is probably the limit of tractibility. This won't be a drag car. It needs to retain some reasonable handling ability for the twisties, through which it will be driven more often than stop and go straight-lineness.

 

Jeff, make sure you do a little bit of fab work to keep the body from twisting in the twisties! That's TWO motors you have in the front!

 

and now for you viewing pleasure;

 

and then there's

 

and who can forget

 

That is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting.

 

Its my pleasure, really There is one problem though, apparently the two intermediate housings were in the factory mazda boxes and the two boxes were taped together...so they were shipped as "one package" and guess what happened in shipping? Yep, the boxes came apart and I only recieved one box. So somewhere between my house and Jeffs shop is my center housing and hopefully FedEx will be able to find it, but something tells me that is not going to happen. But I will keep you posted
