The rotary engine, a dying breed, is being revitalized by companies like Billet Pro, offering modern parts except for the essential Mazda rotors. Enter Cube 3 CNC from New Zealand, introducing Billet rotors made of lightweight aluminum with custom gear rings. These innovative rotors have undergone rigorous dyno testing at high horsepower levels, promising a new era for rotary enthusiasts. However, concerns linger regarding aluminum's heat conductivity and different alloy variations.

In a quest for performance, the team plans to test these Billet rotors in race engines, aiming to push the boundaries of rotary power. While the new rotors impress with their weight savings, they do not address the fundamental issue of engine mount modifications. The team acknowledges the strength of stamped steel and plans strategic modifications for the project car, balancing rigidity and performance. Additionally, considerations for an all-aluminum radiator from CX Racing and a new oil blend to manage rotor temperatures showcase the team's dedication to optimizing rotary performance.

As the team delves into the intricacies of rotor expansion due to heat, they explore innovative solutions to enhance the rotor's efficiency. With plans to test the Billet rotors in a one-rotor engine setup alongside components from Wasp, such as a compact alternator and starter, the team is poised to revolutionize the rotary engine landscape. By scanning the engine bay for precise component fitting and seamless integration, the team demonstrates a meticulous approach to realizing their vision of a cutting-edge rotary hypercar.
