Hmmm very interesting. Wonder what the 3 rotor is? Something new or just a rehashed 20B

it might be a 3 rotor version of the new RX-8 motor, at least that would be my guess. and FI definately

Well, the "new" 2010 rx-8 motor is supposed to be a ~1.6L or so. So a 3 rotor version of that would be ~2.4L. That's probably enough to make 450hp without forced induction.

good point, but I can dream of turbos, right?

i would assume this would make some killer numbers and set good times if built with better internals.kinda like a big block.

rotary = minimal "internals" (dorito and gear)
