R26B rotary motor

Post by tcmx3 »

Does anyone know where I could find an R26B rotary engine? It is a four-rotor that was (maybe still is) produced by mazda for race-only applications

I thought that engine was experimental to Mazda, and then, they have copyrights, and can't even let the engine in the hand of someone not in Mazda.. ( Just explaining the rarety, jeez, those are rumors now.. I should stop telling them :)

dont know what motor your talking about but rotarys ive seen usually have high hp low tq. ive seen live and in the mag the supra powered rx7 but wouldnt a rotary in a supra be to little tq? the worst part about supras are weight. rx7's are fast and handle well because they are light. not saying supras are slow.... but yah
