A mazda 4 rotor ( same on in the 787B for the GT4 fans) in a BMW 3 series body. Runs a 8.22@ 282 KMH

I had alway though of putting that motor in something, must have been expensive considering Mazda sells the block and nothing else

Hi Craig,
Basically we make driveline parts for race cars etc. Mainly flywheels, axles, pulleys and gearbox alterations (ratio changing etc) . The rotary parts have come mainly from my conversion to fit a front stationary gear into a centre housing which makes the three and four rotor engines a reality. There are lots of engines running around the world, mainly in drag cars it seems. Probably the most notable are some in Puerto Rico as one there is currently the second fastest rota in the world. In Australia the best there is (was) the "Barbie" car, which is a BMW 3 series with a turbo quad in it, has 1130 rwhp so they say (approx 1400 hp) at engine. There are a couple of pp quad engines here, a mate has a n/a one and another guy a turbo version. Also several are in the build at the moment. If you want any other bits let me know , there are a few videos around too so I'm told. regards Jeff Bruce

And the 3 series? a great piece of automotive engineering if I say so myself

Although, to be fair, there isn't much 3 series left - it's pretty much just a body shell.

Still, nice car, all the same.
 
Best of both world would include a 2JZ-GTE IMO...

A 4 rotor is not something you get in an instant.
 
This is NOT the engine used in the 787B, it's just two RX7 motors stuck together. Similar in concept, but not exactly the same.

The 13J-MM, also known as the R26B was the engine that was in the 787b and we don't know for sure if this was a true R26B or just two 13B's stuck together. I'm sure we have a rotor expert somewhere on the GTP directory, we just have to find them. So if you know anything about this car or what type of engine this might have, please share with us
 
Big deal, it's a 3 series with a 4 rotor engine. That just means it's twice as likely to blow out an apex seal as a normal two rotor, and that they paid waaay too much for a body shell.

For the love of god realize it was sarcasm and don't get your panties in a wad over this post.
 
I'm not exactly sure what to think about this car. It's just a bizzare combination. Goes like stink, though.
 
The E36 they, as in Queen St. Smash repairs, quad rotored was basically powered by 2 13b's. Don't know much about the car in the video itelf.

This was the old setup.

I'm fairly sure that the car in the video is the NEW QSR car, an E46 shell. Same engine concept but more development time for the engine.
 
It is infact the new QSR BMW, has run 7.40 @ 185 MPH.

Rotaries are the weapons of choice in Australia, even though the fastest rotary is still slower then the fastest 2JZ (6.96 @ 199 vs 6.88 @ 203).

In NZ we have two 4 rotors, an N/A RX7 which runs 9.99 @ xxxmph and a Mazda SP20 which used to run a twin turbonetics powered 4 rotor but is now blowing a GT60 and hopes to go better then his 8.6 @ 140mph.
