Or is it a case of \'I could tell you but then i\'d have to kill you\'?

3 have died already, he puts them up the drainpipe exhaust...

I am not expecting any great times but certainly hope to make some NOISE!
This car will take alot of development time,I reckon at least 6 months before I drive it really hard.The main problem is having the time to work on it.

LOL, i wont peer up it then

Carl...have you ever considered a life in Politics?
I know out and out speed is not your motivation for building a four rotor, i just wondered how a N/A 4 rotor might compare  against a big turbo 13B. How quick are other existing 4 rotors?
Not having time to work on it is a good thing isnt it? that must mean youve got plenty of paying customers knocking on your door.

Regards, Norton :p

Hey carl, is yours the only 4 rotor fd in the world??

I know mazda made the 4 rotor le mans car, but how many more 4 rotor mazda\'s are there?

BTW, incredible what you have acheived so far....well done!!!!

Dan!!

from the recent thread on ausrotary ... not that many

Glenn is building one that should come over to the UK once its done and theres at least one in NZ in an FD and of course the Scoot FD in japan.

Then theres the non FD ones ... the Queen Street racing BMW has a twin turbo quad rotor for example

[Initial-D]

The Scoot car sounds amazing when revving, like an F1 car!! So I\'ll bet Carl\'s will sound amazing too!! Can\'t wait to hear it running....

[Norton]

The only times/speeds ive so far seen for a 4 rotor are for a TWIN TURBO full chassis in Australia... Ibrahim Bros [Driven by Bill Nabhan] 7.24@191 26BTT+Lenco [Air Shifted]

[Carl]

The most powerful drag car rotary at the moment is the Barbie BMW 4 rotor.
I know Bill who races it for the Ibrahim Brothers (Queen Street Smash repair).
This car had 1350hp on twin turbo\'s and now has at least 250hp more on one big single turbo.
On the 1350hp engine it ran a 7.2 1/4 and 191mph terminal.
So now it should be really quick.
The Naturally Aspirated 4 rotor FD RX7 in New Zealand of Bryce Mckewan, who I also know, has ran a 10.4 at 136 mph.He is running fuel injection,and those times were done on a stock FD RX7 gearbox and diff.The car is now being modified to take a 9 inch rear and Auto gearbox.
My car certainly will not be able to go anywhere near as quick as his car due to the carbs,but I hope to get it much more modified in the future and run it turboed and fuel injected to make some serious power.That will in all likely hood mean a new engine configuration.
I am pretty sure that there may be other 4 rotor engines being built here.
The Scoot car is based on the 12a engine parts so is of a smaller capacity than mine which is built around 13b parts.

Ah right....thanks for the clear up guys.....i didnt know the scoot car was 4 rotor....i always thought it was 3 rotor (silly me ).....and also, whats this bmw 4 rotor all about??

I\'ve never heard or seen anything like that....is it a new beemer?

Cheers,

Dan!!

hmmmmm.... interesting!!
Is there really THAT much difference between carbs and Injection? I thought the main difference was emissions which isnt really going to be a big concern (i assume this is not really intended for road use?).
So in a couple of years time we can look forward to lots of Skyline driving spectators at Rotorstock spitting their beer back into their pints as you cross the line
