Thats what gears are for!

Yeah, it has a drag race setup. Not sure why they bothered taking it to a track in that trim. A stock Miata would embarrass it.
I wonder how the engine management is set up. I guess in theory you could rune 3 ecu's and manage it like you would 3 13b's, or two 20b's, or one.... what would a 6-rotor be... 39b?
Cool as stinking heck though.
I forgot the official weight of a 13b engine. Anyone feel like multiplying that number by 3 and subtracting the weight of the intake manifold(s)?
A: That thing is awesome ...
B: shouldn't be on a track any longer then 1/4 mile ..
C: a you tuber commented the best description of the sound.

In reply to Hungary Bill:
The actual designation of that is simply 6b, why so simple Idk, things are upside down there in New Zealand.
All I know with the ECU is they were heavily involved with haltech during the whole build.
With modern ECU and computers, you'd think they could come up with modular engine. One that comes with a single rotor and a lot of luggage space. You could slap on a second rotor if you had some extra people in the car, or two more if you wanted to race, or another two if you needed to tow something.
Here's a 12-rotor, but it's really 2 6-rotors geared together. For a powerboat IIRC.
