Didn\'t think it had been made yet but..6 rotor!

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)

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!

Ive got enough housings and irons to do a mock up engine about 20 feet long

Indeed

deja vous... im sure this has been mentioned before?

jackaleks · July 03, 2011, 08:10:24 PM

pfft, six rotors is old news...

how about a fully assembled, all billet, 12 rotor engine?

m1tch · July 03, 2011, 08:32:48 PM

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

No, it\'ll be going into speed boats

Can you imagine the sound of that 12 rotor engine!!

Lacey · July 03, 2011, 09:34:20 PM

Wonder what one of those lumped into a car could do?

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

Jono FD3 · July 03, 2011, 09:37:18 PM

from memory there are a few variations of the 12 rotor unit, entry level tune is about 1400bhp, going up to 1900bhp NA!!!

Hmm well its 400bhp max per rotor and the queens street 26B is at 1,600bhp, what are the other 8 rotors doing? lol

Didn\'t think it had been made yet but..6 rotor!
