Title: Worlds first 4 rotor drag car unveiled in Sydney!
Post by: AJC13B on May 05, 2003, 02:13:18 PM
Custom built eccentric shaft, twin turbos, air shifted lenco and a healthy dose of methanol

Brilliant!

I have heard about this car, can you tell us some more about it AJC?

They had it on a dyno/ bench dyno yet?

Do you know when it is going to first run?

There was a massive rush for BIll and the boys to get this car ready for the show, so it hasn\'t run yet, but the plan is within the next 2 months.

The crank is a custom item (of course! :D ) and the rest of the engine is 13B components. Bill designed the manifolds and is very pleased with the finished product!

Bill said it will be run on a chassis dyno prior to its debut, and I insisted I get an invite to that :D

Great stuff, you got a video camera?

Would love to see some footage - I can host any videos (I don\'t have a space limit on my websites).

Cheers Steve.

Hi mate!

Would have been nice, but I knew there were a few 4 rotors being done here and there - and mine is going to take quite a while.

This thing should be bloody awesome when it gets going, should be 1000+ hp easily.  As Steve has said 7\'s shouldn\'t be a problem.  4 rotor\'s and 2 turbo\'s - MAD!  :)

Aussies are still behind the times...here in NZ a green N/A 323 4 rotor has already been down the drag strip clocking 11.21 @ 121mph 3rd and 4th gear wheelspin...

The motor was built by Lawton Rotorsport in only 3 months, with the eccentric shaft in the balancing shop for 5 weeks.

The car competed in the New Year Drags and output 205kw@ 4000rpm wheelspin.

:rollin to the idea about "the world\'s first 4 rotor drag car in Australia" :rollin

Hi Luis,

It is meant to be making its debut at the Queensland Jamboree next month - it is all hush hush at the moment.

maybee we ought to have some post guidlines as to what is/isn\'t acceptable on the forum so new users can know as I know some boards are more liberal than others. (i\'ve removed it as I don\'t think it is acceptable in my view)

Regards,
