WOW!!! I want one! That would make a hell of a motor swap for just about anything, and it is probably going to be lighter, too! I wonder if that company has a web page...I would like to find out more about that. I would hope they licensed the housing and rotor design from mazda because they have been doing it so long and know how to make it work...I have read of other rotary airplane engine manufacturers that will build their own engines using mazda's design. Cool...thanks for the info. I will try to check out more about that. Hmmm...lotus elise, drop the weak rover 4 cylinder, pop in that 3 rotor, you have a formula one car.

They actually do have a website, it is www.terf.com. The info on the Millenium Rotary engine is located here.

There is also a person who builds wankel engins to your specs (meant for planes) out of mazda parts. He can apparently build you 2 or 3 rotor ones. In fact it sounded like he could put as many together as you wanted.

I don't have specific info on him, but I could ask my plane buddy.

aka 951

Like I would ever fly in a plane with a rotary engine, let alone a Mazda rotary engine...lol.
