Okay my question is, can you make a 6 or 8-rotor engine ??
I'v seen a 4-rotor engine, then i where thinking can u just put more and more rotor chambers together ?? - i know it is a fantasy question. but still :D

some people dream too much. unless you're a multi millionaire with loads of money to blow, then maybe think about it. But I still dont think you'd do it.
the reality is... that the majority of people will NEVER touch past a 20B tri-rotor engine. Why?? Because its just not cost efficient.
I'm sure rotaries aren't limited to 4 rotors. I'm sure people, or even the rotary racing companies, have dreamed and drawn out 6 rotor engines, but I think in the end, it just wasn't worth the price. The custom e-shaft, tranny, apex seals, long dowel pins, tuning, and etc... is just too much.
My guess would be well over $200,000 with labor involved.
Get me the e-shaft and I'll make you a 6 rotor engine in my garage. I have enough housings and rotors sitting around. I wont guarantee it'll run, but I can probably put it together.

its hard enough fitting a 4 rotor engine in a 7... now I'd LOVE to see you make an 8 rotor engine work and fit in your car!

Damn boooy...
i didn't say i'v gonna make one ffs. It was just a' question about if it can be done... didn't know if you could just put one rotary after and other.
Also, the kind of money i make right no can max give me a scooter hehe.. Saving my cash, 4 a trip to USA weeeee

if you wanna make a 4 (or more) rotor engine, you better save your cash and go to NZ or Australia..

wow, is that 12 rotor real? i know there ahve been some 6 rotor engines made in the past, but with very small rotors. I'll see if i can find a link for that engine, though i don't think it was a mazda engine... well give me a few hours.

yea the 12 rotors real, the 9 oil filling tube makes the setup obviously serious.
