he has had it running, i have been following it for quite some time.
 
he has tested it at different RPMs and has even ran it at 10,000RPM!! he has run it without premix and with premix to see what would happen inside the engine and too his coatings. it is like new after giving it abuse.
 
he is just getting everything ready for bolting on the turbos!!

Thats a clever way to arrange the rotors, would be too big for the normal engine bay, but im sure someone could fit a kit car body around it

What gear box would work on that for a car?? Bearing in mind that one of the banks of 4 spins the opposite way around to the other 2 to stop it twisting over like a big v8 does.

Oh and 2,000hp.

With lots off boost. 12 rotor isn\'t much and is a side port too not a PP.

He is all ready in the process of another engine I believe, PP though :D
