Default Bridge ported rotary

Gotta love the sound of a 10,000 rpm rotary that is how rotaries make power rpms. Go to a seven stock 7 show in Cali you will see those everywhere and they would smoke my TA. Not very reliable engines. Handgrenades.
I have an 04 rx8 customed and bolt ons and love it as much as my TA. Very nice cars and had no problems with mine. Knock on wood.

other than a periph 4 rotor engine, i'm clueless to what else has been done to it. probably higher compression rotors.

so, if you can 'just' ('just' being a very general and loose term here) piggy back these things, why not make like a 6-rotor or an 8-rotor with a conservative tune and be done with it. lol I'm sure it it wouldn't sound bad, if 'just' a 4-rotor sounds like that.

also, i wish they'd make a video of it on the street or racing ****...come on. lol

I've seen a 3 rotor motor RX7 that sounded similar to that..kinda Ferrari ish. Very cool. I've just heard the same about reliability issues. Hate to admit it but that wide body black and orange RX7 in Tokyo drift was a pretty cool car. Not a fan of the movie but this car in particular caught my attention. It had a ballsy sounding idle as well and had a similar look. It was built by Veilside:

yeah i was reading it on a import mag that they had like 8 of those car's made those body kits aint cheap by no means and almost all of them had stock 13b's in them lol




to piggy back one, look at the aviation guys. they have some wild stuff. but to make one you'd have to have a custom common shaft made, that would be half the battle right there.

supposidly a 2 rotor is like have a 3 pistion car a 3 rotor a 7 banger and so on supposidly!

sounds amazing really it does that idle is almost like cammed v8 but not as raspy more smoothed out. but anything that is running 10k+ to make power isn't going to last very long
