Title: Billet Rotary engine
Post by: 12at on October 05, 2011, 10:08:59 AM
Taken from Ausrotary -the guys back in Aus are stepping it up with a full billet engine - end plates, rotor housings, rotors and shaft..
 
apparently in testing and from the discussions being had it seems that some of the best have had their hands in the pot with the testing.. Will be nice to see a full billet engine making 1000+ hp reliably with no sight of cracking or spewing its guts down the track..

Hmm would be interesting to see what they have done to the centre and rear iron surfaces to allow for them plates not to get worn down.

All plates do have some sort of nitriting / treatment done to them..

I would like to think they would have them plasma sprayed just like the Racing Beat ali plates that are available. From what I remember when they were tested, no measurable wear was found on the plates.
