OK forgive me for not knowing anything at all about rotaries...

What holds the layers of housings together? Surely there's not huge big long bolts from one end to the other?

Didn't realise the 'fat' plate of a 20b is the same width as a housing.  I learnt something new today.

Neither did i till recently haha, needed some work done to it so left it out for now.

yes, and also on decent builds there are equally extra long larger dowels to hold everything rotationally in line and not twisting. So the bolts just clamp them all together, and dowels take the strength. 4/6 dowels for 400+ and all dowels for responsible builders that just want it all haha.

Good video of a 13B assembly - fast forward to 9.45 to see the huge big long bolts from one end to the other going in.

Those MFR air boxes are dope - get a few HP gains too 8-) 

Yeah man i reckon! actually really well made too was impressed.

The whole rotary air intake over top of hot exhaust never really made much sense from the perspective haha.

Yeah there! 

 

He makes factory style parcel trays for rx3 as well, and the airboxs to suit 13b or 20b as well as a few other things like 10a front chin spoilers.

very impressed with the quality, Julian is a good rooster (ex kiwi that lives in auz) and turned the order round quick as !
