Hi Paul,
Welcome back. Michiwa finished the translation but there still were a few
phrases that got chopped out in your enlargement but we I believe got the
jist of it. Let me know if you want the hard copy of which part goes where
but it appears self evident, that is if can read some Japanese:)

The most important part of the four- rotor-engine is the eccentric shaft.
This is now under development in cooperation with Yashiro Engineering, who
had made 4 rotors engine based on the 13B before. They designed the shaft,
calculating the durability and strength, assembling the main shaft with two
rotors slide on from both ends. This method is considered the most perfect
and powerful eccentric shaft to handle 1800 ps.
The NA four rotor engine cannot get enough power to challenge the drag
races title, so they have mounted two “trust? (In Japanese English To ra su
to” T88-34D turbines on it.
Thanks Doug. I think some of it is still in HTML.

As a bit of a follow up, from the same magazine series I have articles
from a trade show , showing the Yashiro Eng. Eshaft with a brief blurb
in it as well as the 'SCOOT' 12Ax4 FD3S rx7.. this is a series of
articles that spans a few months..
In regards to "TRUST' that is a branch of Greddy, a very popular in
Japan and north America, makers of 'bolt on' tunner parts ( IC kits,
turbo's headers.. ) Greddy/TRUST use Mitsubishi Turbos.. I believe,
unlike garrett where trims AND turbine sizes are used to adjust where
the turbo's max Eff. occurs, Greddy adjusts trim and compressor housings
to achieve this goal.. this bauched description is from a HPI ( High
performance Imports an Aussie mag) article on the differences between
the manufacturers designs, given that both garrett and Mitsubishi both
have a T88 model it was a good article to have written and I wish US/Can
based mags would pick up on this..
lastly I'm very envious that you have someone that can translate it..
learning the Japanese written language is a full time job from where I'm
sitting.. grr!
just a little FYI from the land of the Tunners..
