Paul,

I recently viewed Mistral's website and learned that they are offering two-
3 rotor engines. One is a 300 hp, 3 rotor engine, and the other is a 360 hp,
turbocharged, 3 rotor engine.

My question:

Are they using the 20B? Will this lead to scarcity of the 20B engines? One
caveat. I AM A ROTARY NEWBIE. Therefore; is a 3 rotor simply "more" of a 2
rotor? I realize the bolts and eccentric shaft are unique. I am asking, as
to the urgency of securing a 3 rotor engine for myself. Will the source for
20B's dry up anytime soon? Or, with all the 2 rotors out there, can I build
a 3 rotor from 2 rotor parts, and with parts from a "trick" shop?

Thank you,

Basically yes a three rotor is one more 13B rotor however
there are some unique parts.

Mistral are building their own engines and parts loosely based on the
Mazda. You need to contact them for details.

The source of three rotor parts from Mazda could dry up any day.
There are other sources for 3 rotor shafts and perhaps Mistral
is the only alternate source for the special three rotor intermediate
end housings right at the moment.

Rumor has it Mazda is about to announce a larger two rotor
16B any day. Mazda needs a higher torque rotary for the RX8.
The 3 rotor is deemed too expensive to make by Mazda.
