The Ultimate Rotary engine - BILLET 4-Rotor | fullBOOST

- Perhaps one of the most sought after Japanese engines of all time, the Mazda 4-rotor isn’t even a production rotary engine. Mazda built them as a race only application in 13J and 26B variants. The latter version powered the famous Group C 787B Mazda, winning the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans outright. Nowadays however it’s not uncommon to see these custom engines powering a street car, due to not only the performance aspect, but their unmistakable sound. We caught up with the team at Promaz while they pieced together this little gem of an engine. | www.promaz.com.au

4 rotor p port
Mine
The one at the rotissery chicken shop! Just keeps spinnin' lol 🤣
@Mcgoogoo Damn! You beat me to it. I was going to say exactly the same thing!
My ultimate favourite rotary engine is the one that has had an LS swap! FTW!
You can hear the sincerity in Simon's voice when he thanks his entire team and sponsors for making everything come together. He's a class act. I miss both my RX-7's but mostly the 79.
Don't miss mine having rebuilt the engine twice.
I absolutely love how Simon is just straight up honest and not afraid to give his opinion on things. Love the discussions you guys had on this video.
"There's not too many cars you're gonna fit 6 rotors in..."
Anything that can fit a 2K Barra will fit a 6 rotor, or atleast come very close. 😛
Don't think there would be much difference.
He was refering to cars people might want to own. 🤣🔥🔥👉
@@fullboost So a Renault is out of the question? 🤣👍
@ChrisHallett83 If they can fit a 6 rotor in a damn RX4 then it will fit anywhere a 2K Barra can. 😎👍
@@MafiaboysWorld Anything fits if you drop it from high enough. And they prolly cut out most of the firewall for the rx4
watching this guy at work, with his silky voice, is like ASMR.
........ and he likes RX8's 👍
I bought a new RX2 in 1973. It was a screamer for 2 rotors. It was billed as an economy car. The best gas mileage I got was 13.5 MPG. I severely abused that engine and it never busted. Slipped my foot of the clutch at 7,000 RPM. And occasionally miss shifted to third and hit 11,000 RPM. It never broke. But the clutch wore out several times. As did the skinny 13 inch tires.
Great built, however, I'd love to see them running after the built is completed. That would be the icing on the cake :0)
I have a running 4 rotor on my channel, it’s wild!

that's where the rubber meets the road.
Got to give you credit Fullboost, you get some of the nicest people who are more than happy to share their wealth of knowledge. Genuine people.
Everytime i see pro rotary build videos, it look like they r doing it in a doctors office.
We used to stack them together on empty 35 gallon drums outside in the sun
You can tell how much profit margin and room for competition there is by how the shop looks. If it looks like a doctor's office they are price gouging insanely and an open market for easy competition!
Go on then bud
@@illbeyourmonster3591 Fallacy! First you have to clean up the shed, which in your case may take up to a week. And then you can do the work in a week, which now, with all your gang, takes a month. As long as you keep thinking the way you are doing now, you will be a poor bastard. Sorry!

@@michielnoback4359 I'm suspecting that didn't translate properly. 🙄
I’m just here for all the Rob Dahm related comments 🍿 😂
Here’s one, fuck Rob Dahm 😬
hahaha no pressure
@@RobDahm o shit what you think rob?
@@Sausketo of the engine? Simon and that team know their shit. I approve. But they don’t need my approval haha
@@RobDahm I tough you died under that lift
I'm an old rotary engine specialist from the 70s. Thank you for the detail and conversation in this video. It really brought me back to my days with Mazda.
What a legend this bloke is. Polite and calmly spoken, happy to share his knowledge and a few little tricks of the trade, even goes out of his way to be as relateable as possible.
I felt the same way
I love how beautifully simple rotaries are. No valves, gears or pushrods; just block, crank and rotors.
I was just thinking the same exact thing as I was watching this video. I've built a handful of racecars and did all the engine assembly except for the things that I needed the machine shop for. What an amazingly simple setup!!!
This rivals the Mine's stuff i watched on the GT channel. Love to see the veterans kick knowledge. So valued
im simple I have an Rx7, I like Rx7's and rotaries!! If I see a rotary video, I click
This makes me want to revisit the dark side.
As someone who saw what you did with the HB Cosmo back in the day Lance...DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT!! 😈👍😁
Don't do it Lance!
I don't know what you did with the HB Cosmo, but I echo MafiaboysWorld, Do it!
We have a hybrid lightside now
As a former 1980 rx7 road race crew chief, who has torn down and rebuilt a bunch of 12as, this video is inspiring, and that engine looks freaking amazing. Nice work!
As of 12/2020 mazda announced that they will be making new parts for rx7s again.
Mega engine, mega coverage. Thanks a lot guys
I'm a V8 type of guy, but these engines are so interesting. Billet aluminum always looks good. Awesome looking engine!!!
Quad stacked Billet Dorito yes please. I like mine spicy👍😂
Thanks for the update and video, as always a pleasure seeing Simon put a rotary together. Memories of my rotaries I owned, rx2 rx4 and 5.
I could listen to that engine builder all day, he has a calmness about him. He would be an excellent coach and is an artist at his craft. Reminds me of the Bob Ross of engine building, minus the wild hair. This guy does excellent work!
WOW 13J R26B 4 ROTORS ROTARY ENGINE BY BILLET PRO SO SWEET ENT
I'm really happy to watch him assemble rotary engines, thanks for sharing!
I’m so happy to see people still exploring these smooth compact powerful emission engines ..fascinating
I loved my 13b rx3 I had as my first car. Damm I wish I still had that little bastard. Makes me so happy to see a craftsman putting so much love into his work
Simon is a top bloke - thanks for sharing.... Nice tidy edit too :)
Great video! If possible you should get a tour of BilletPro to see how it's all made ! Absolutely top content ! What cameras did you use for this video?
There is some footage of some of their product being manufactured in this video. This video was shot using a Sony compact camera. Cheers.
If you look you will find videos showing them machining an end plate setup on TH-cam mate
4:22 "What's that part you dropping in?"
me: THE DORITO!!😎
Nice video - it's watching an artist at work. Even the explanations are humble and you can tell they're from experience. Really enjoying that he's in a clean workshop but doesn't wear gloves.. that's the real guru business right there
I know little about rotary engines, however that was a good presentation. Nice Work.
Would love to see a 10a build. Always been curious and super rare now.
👍🏽
What a work of art the Billet 26B is, no mention of the matching price tag to match 🔥
30-40k my guess
@@chunkycheese73 100k
no bullshit just pure rotary talk, big ups boys
I use to have a 87 RX7, and I am impressed. Subscribed.
Wow stunning I been introduced to rotary engines on Thursday and haven’t stopped thinking about her I want rotary in my life.🥰
Man there are some brilliant people out there and your one of them just awesome
Unbelievable thank uou for the video it was a pleasure to view !
Exceptional job lads, what a work of art. Wish I could afford on of these.
Beautiful engineering, beautiful machine work!!!
Funny looking packet of chips. I dig it. It still blows my mind, that you can just keep stacking them together.
Its so cool to see engines being built 😎👍🏼
I love Australian ingenuity. Keep up the good work.
Boost fixes everything i agree😂😂 Greetings from South Africa. Im installing a 13B in my Fiat x19. Can't wait to braaaaappp
Another great video. Thanks for the rotary content
Amazing machine work. Billet pro is amazing.
10A would be an interesting one for sure! Not a rotor man but love the in depth content!
I’m not even into rotaries but I feel like he is the man to talk to.
This guy is a legend 😊
I love this builder. Simon has it together,. I would love to spend a day with this guy.
Such a beautiful engine. I hope whoever it goes to truly enjoys it... I've always personally wanted a 3 rotor with either high compression and low boost or low compression and all the Boost. But they're made of unobtainium for us mere commoners.
Not really , people blow that same amount making forged internals
*_There was actually a 12 rotor engine built._*
Not too much people know about it but it is sick!
I've been binge watching every video 4 rotor and 787 related. Am I going crazy?
4 rotor??? LET'S GO!! MORE 4 ROTORRRS ON HE STREETSS THE BETTER LIFE IS
A beautiful work of art.
What a beautiful piece of work ;)
Well done and fair play fellas.
had an RX-7 with a 13B... 22 MPG, easy oil change, filter on top of the engine, and easy tune up.... had it 8 years.... should have kept it.......
Nice build its going to sound amazing
This is the 5th time I had watched this video. I can't get enough. If I win a lottery...
That will be an outstanding little screamer.
Very neat and clean setup
Love listening to this master of his craft, fulfilled life of doing what he loves. For all the rotary guys in the comment section, I came from the liquid piston engine to this. How come nobody sized that thing up? Seems like the next big step in the evolution of rotary engines. Would love to hear your opinions on that. If you don’t know just TH-cam it there is more and more content coming up.
That is a piece of art. Im afraid to even venture a guess on what that engine sells for
Great always wondered how they went together 👌🏻
Very good job man very good job
Thx .you are an inspiration man x
He speaks so calmly I love it😂
Keen to see the 10a build now
....soooo nice , priseis Parts !!! I 'm soooooooo impresst !!!!! BIG COMPLIMENT !!! kinde regards from Switzerland !!!
a work of art!
Stunning!
The Chevy XP-882 Aerovette prototype had a four-rotor Wankel rotary engine installed for the 1973 Paris Motor Show. They cancelled the engine because of low reliability and high fuel consumption. I wonder if they got it right this time. That would look fantastic in the rear of a car like the Aerovette.
Great vid, very interesting .
Rotaries are so simple and so beautiful.
damm thats some sexy engineering. The rotary has so many pluses for motorsports. Having said that I remember back when the first rx-7's came out and a young bloke in the motorcycle club got one, all us teenagers came and drooled over it and my older sister came over and said" nice car why did you get a sheila stick". It was a bloody auto lol.
one day i’ll be able to afford one :) till then i’ll watch and enjoy
Please show the 10a build! That would be an awesome video.
Keep stacking.
Huge respect.
Another awesome video boys at a quick guess if the billet 3 rotor cost $45k aud to build this 4 rotor would be around $60k aud to build
A lot of Doritos yes.
Good prices compared to PPRE, It would've been cool to hear his opinion on machined/balanced rotors considering Mazda doesn't have the best tolerances from factory..
If you watch the 3 rotor video we did Simon touches on that. 👍
@@fullboost It looks like Pringles.
wow nice build
iv got the wrench, 1976 , started my time. . bloody good unit, its part of me now,
I got a Warren and Brown tension wrench in 1979.
Theres a side here in America working on a full billet engine. Billet housings & billet roters, I'm excited to see how it works out with the billet roters.
Yes its good to see people are going to be making these engine parts for a long time to come.
In a few words..its art..
Rotaries are so damn cool!
The truth is, aside from length design parameters, there is NO LIMIT as to how many rotors can be stacked together.
Thank you
Man, Simon seems like such a cool dude
Now I wana see this going into a RWD RX7. Its gona be a real racing machine!
Top d++ bom se você traduzido as explicações acho lindo este motor🥰🥰🥰
Rob i know u see this 👀
🤣🤣🤣👌🏻
I'm sure he's added it to the wank bank by now 😆
Sadly this isn't where Rob got his motor from
cool rewiev👍
I need one of these.
I could do this all day. Precision engineering, and attention to detail.
If you ever want to import a pomme to help you build engine's, give me a shout. 😁 🇬🇧😆
Maybe one day I'm gonna get one maybe not 26b but 13b could do! Still an awesome rotary engine :D
Is there any way to track where this Engine ended up? pics/ vids/ links etc.. Beautiful engine and wonderful video.
A doritos commercial was played right before this video started.... I've never seen a more appropriately timed advertisement in my entire life.
Sweet engine with an amazing sound!!
