    go to diy re .com and se what they say that guy who answered first is wrong i built 2 4-rotor engines and it isn't a block you're looking for it is 4 rotor housings the hard parts to find are the intake,exhaust, and the eccentric shaft(crank shaft)I had to make all those parts myself.But for 2132rwhp with dual t-71 turbos is well worth it. MAKE a custom car to handle the power,no skyline (lame) or any production car can withstand the torque.Happy building!

    The E-Shaft is something you will likely have to build yourself. Last I heard Mazdaspeed in the US of A will sell you the housings of the 26B, if you're a dealer...Complete engines sold back in the day for about 120K in U.S dollars, but you had to be a racing team, like Jerv said not something your regular dude can aquire. Also this motor is differn't than a lot of the Custom four rotor engines rolling around. The way it's cooled, 3 spark plugs per rotor, huge peripheral ports and so on, cermite coatings, alluminum where cast iron used to be, dry sumped etc. There is a shop in Atlanta that used to do Mazda GT racing (the name slips me) that apparently has a bunch of Lemans grade 26Bs. I would think they would part with one for the right $$$ considering how the economy is treating anyone who works with cars.
    I suppose you could always build a custom one with 13B housings from these dudes www.kiwi-re.com

    That four-rotor engine was built exclusively for the GT racing cars; they NEVER found there way into a showroom. I would like to know where you found out such a purchase were possible and refute the validity of that source. Most automakers do NOT sell their high-end racing stuff to regular people. I think somebody is hitting the crackpipe a bit hard.

    Get a three-rotor from a Cosmo. It is far more obtainable and you likely won't have to do anything illegal to get one.

Did this answer your question? If not, then ask a new question or create a poll.
