auxilary Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 mazda never put the 4 rotor in production. mazda repu (rotary engined pick ups) had a 2 rotor motor. 3 rotor exists only in 98+ mazda cosmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixcars Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I remember reading about it in a Aussie magazine over here. If I come across it I'll let you know Aux. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I was thinking, if you put a Wankel in a Z, do you start calling the car a WankerZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 well judging by some pics that Aux posted up of himself i would call the car "The Shocker" am i right Aux.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxilary Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 dude, your Z will be faster than mine. Remember, no torque of hte line, no boost until 4krpm, and my torque curve will look like the peak of K2. It's not going to be TT because turbos won't clear the frame rails. I'm towing it to mike's shop on saturday to get frame rails sleeved and reinforced, and mount the motor with professional grade motor mounts. Then I need to pick up a turbo (still figuring that one out) and start finishing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxilary Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Complete driver's side mount. These are 1/4" steel. Passenger side mount Quality of the welds. Astounding! Mounts being touched up and modified Mr. 73botiz himself tig welding in action! There really is a long block in there! Look at the cute motor! Big thanks to Mike for taking time to help me out with this, and big thanks to jumbo240ez (Jon) and my friend Rob for killing a full day designing and making original mounts with me.

JMortensen Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Beautiful work there. I would love to see this car in person when it is done. Should be FUN!!! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j260z Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 that is unreal those welds are fantastic! if the radiator doesn't take up too much space you should be able carry a full set of spare tires! one in the back, two on either side of the engine and one between the engine and rad!! and talk about low centre of gravity!!! very cool!!!

MrWOT Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Why not just run the header to the front of the engine and mount them (the turbos) there, then run the pipes back under? It's not like you'll have a heat problem as you have plenty of room to make a hood with slots and scoops and room for a monstrous fan I've seen forward mounted turbo setups done on other cars, with the exhaust wrapped to retain heat I think it would work just fine Would also make oil drain easier since you could run straight to the pan without having to make sharp bends.

auxilary Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 I thought about doing that, but exhaust tube would be extremely long and cause lots of turbolag before the turbo would start spooling. Plus, it would interfere with coolant lines and such. I can mount it off the side, here's a general idea: Rough cheesy photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I think this header would be perfect in your apllication... you cant see it real well but it places the turbo right where the air pump used to sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hm, interesting, but the exhaust ports are closer to the frame rail than that, I don't think that would fit all too well. What type of header is that, and who makes it? real rough sketch of a base idea of a header. Main pipe would be 3" in diameter, with a 1.5 or 2" pipe from each exhaust joining into it. It could be easily made from common jcwhitney/summit tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
