You don't need to make multiple threads on the same subject! Could have just continued your old one. I said 100,000$ that is a price if you were wanting an engine directly from Mazdaspeed formerly Mazdacomp.

Building a 4 rotor engine is something that usually only highly experienced rotary shops undertake. It should not be taken lightly, this is not a sandwhich it is a motor. BTW I beleive Kiwi's kit is based on 12a motor, I could however be mistaken on this one, I am not 100% sure.

If you have to ask if it will be a bad project, yes.

They offer kits for both 13B's and 12A's. There is also a a shop in California working on parts to convert to a four rotor or short three rotor.
