I'm on RX-7 club and subscribed to that thread. Awesome stuff!
I don't even know what Half that shit is on the engine but that guy has determination.....
cool stuff....
That is a pretty damn badass buildup of a custom 26B (for lack of a better term) and I love the custom peripheral intake/exhaust port plugs he made. Definitely a better way than welding/porting/devcon like everyone else does.
I will need to watch this one closely! Great work on the eccentric shaft also!
Mother Of God is right!!!!

Cool looking build. Is that engine normaly only 2 sections where this guy is making it 4?
yes...
the 13B-REW is a twin-turbo with 2 rotors (3rd gen RX7's 93'-02')
the 12A was a 2 rotors NA (1st gen RX7)
the 20B was a 3 rotor (aviation, Mazda cosmo, and I think a Mazda truck had one)
a rotor =

So that's where the infamous apex seals go.
ehh, either way it will be interesting to see when its done.
My only question is if your going to spend that much time, effort and money why not do a 6 or 8 rotor, in reading that thread it sounds like others have done 4 rotors before.
I've been following that build for some time. Amazing amount of skill!
that is absolutely crazy i just looked at the pics cause I cant follow the rest of the stuff
way over my head
A shame such awesome talent, innovation and skill is wasted on a Wankel :goof
Of course not. You just missed that the 20B was also twin turbo, and a whole slew of 13b's that most people would have used instead of jumping right to the REW. lol.
For anyone else that's still wondering about the engine codes, the number=displacement. 13B - 1.3L.
I want his brain. Now that's an engineer. Wow.
Yea there are some smart cookies out there for sure!
Impressive to say the least. The real test will be to see how it holds up in the long term. You would be amazed at everything the OEM considers when designing an engine.
