Title: Didn\'t think it had been made yet but..6 rotor!
Post by: m1tch on July 02, 2011, 07:14:01 PM
Hi all, I know there are threads on making a short block triple or a quad rotor and have always wondered if a 6 rotor had been made and worked, the answer is yes...ive found it! Hurley has made one (shame about the seals :rollin)

Apparently made 900bhp, looks NA, so thats not bad lol only had to add on 4 extra rotors to get up to the max power of a turbo 13B ;)

I have just been informed from a reliable source (Carl) :D that the engine didn\'t actually have internals! which is a shame, would still be really cool to have the first 2 rotors working though and just have a massivly long E-shaft to the gearbox!

Isn\'t that going to produce a million horsepower and solve world hunger?

Yeah the owner is quoting 2600hp with turbos but hasn\'t stuck it on a dyno yet :(
