NU-TECH_inc. Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I contacted the Coates International corparation about building a spherical rotary valve head for the 2.6 Quest engine this is the reply I recevied.                                                                  Dear Mr. Watson: We received your email of June 2, 2004.  It would pose no problem whatsoever for us to design a CSRV valve system for your 4 cylinder 2.6 liter Mitsubishi engines.  We need your full physical mailing address and the name of the company you represent and will forward two confidentiality agreements for your signature, after which we will do a feasibility study of your engine and give you a costing. The most expensive engine is the first prototype, after which all components can be stamped out and produced.  You will also need a Use License from Coates International.  However, we will send you an information package as soon as we get your physical mailing address. Kindest regards, Sincerely, Sharon Dunn/Communications Manager                 here is a link to the companys web site http://www.coatesengine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarBoy Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 That's cool for performance and all.... but what happens when it comes time for a valve job when those quit sealing well......... There are so many reason on why I think a standard style valvetrain is better. Like the valve job thing, and where would you find parts for it? How stupid expensive will it be? Would there be different sized whatever you want to call those cylinder things for different applications, like say I wanted 600hp, I would need larger spheres than someone that really only wanted 350.

Kr0nus Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I remember someone asked that same company for a CSRV vavle system for our car and it was denied. I guess you're special because you represent a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidNiteRide89 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 DOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!! I e-mailed them over a year ago and got the response quoted below. Must be that you represent a company that got you the positive response? How sweet would that be!!!!!!!!!! February 12, 2003 To: MidNiteRide89@aol.com Att: Marc Buschnyj Re: Turbo applications Mr. Buschnyj, your February 5th email message was received, and it is a pleasure to hear from you. Please give our best regards to the Mitsubishi Starion / Chrysler Club you represent. However, CIL has not attempted to refit the 2.6L 4-cylinder turbocharged intercooled engine which you’ve inquired about. Yes, it is likely that the company could refit this engine with the patented and worldwide-protected Coates Spherical Rotary Valve System, but the price would be extremely cost prohibitive for just a few engines. Since our auto program is “on a temporary hold†so that all our resources can be dedicated to mating the CSRV system with a family of large industrial engines, your question about being able to rebuild the Starion engine is moot at this time. About the only suggestion I can make is that you periodically visit website www.coatesengine.com to check on the postings which will inform the public of changes in our product development schedule. We’d like to be of service to your group and perhaps sometime in the future the Starion engine might receive consideration, but that time is still over the horizon. Thank you for contacting the Coates organization and please stay in touch. Sincerely, Dr. Richard Evans Director DRE: jmg ================================= Justine M.

WTFISIT Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 If I win the Lottery, I promise that I will fund the development of a SRV head for the quest. Short of that, I don't see how this would be possible. I don't even want to guess what the engineering/development cost for this would be. NU-Tech, were they able to give you any type of a ball-park for a 4 cylinder head? They must have some idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFISIT Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I will definitely keep my eyes on this, just in case I do win that jackpot. I must admit that the idea has an immense "Wow" factor and their site does a great job of selling the concept. One downfall is that a key benefit of the SRV head seams to be it's ability to scale up to very high RPM, something that I don't know how well our tired old long stroke motor can do. Maybe with a destroke and some lighter rods and pistons, but then you're basicall redesigning the whole engine. At that point I wonder if a swap might not just be a better solution. Now, a 4g63 SRV head would certainly have a bigger market to sell to. That might make me consider a swap. ;D Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostinmini Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have heard about these heads for a while and hear they are awesome. They sound like a freight train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Isn't Volkswagon using the sperical valves on there I-10 . It's a 10 cylinder engine with stagered cylinders they are almost side by side and it uses one head . The block is almost twice as wide as our blocks and is used in industrial applications. Now that would be a wild engine swap.. OOOOO OOOOO they are spaced like this but closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 hey, you guys this is great, but rotary valves have been around forever. they are in all rotax powered snowmobiles, and the origional company that designed them lost the rights to the patents or they expired or soemthing, and coates has their own set of patents. well, what is stopping us from designing a different rotary valve system for our cars or all cars? i don;t get it. it's not a coates engine origional, so why pay them tons of cash for something you could do yourself for 10G's. and honestly, that's not a bad number. i bet if you could get a casting place to build a mold for a head and used a slightly different setup than coates, you could get rich very fast. well, that's my new plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_Rich Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I sent Nu-Tech a couple PM's about having Marnal/AMC make the DOHC cylinder head, but I guess he's not interested. I have had contact with the owner of Marnal andall they are asking for in approximate volume so they can determine if they would want to go through the hassle of design and manufacture. In my opinion, unless the other components are assigned manufacturers, there wouldn't be much volume. If anyone else is interested in having Marnal/AMC make the DOHC head and has the ability to follow through with the rest of the package, let me know. I think the cam design and timing would be the hardest part. Designing the head to use existing parts such as the 3.0L DOHC 3000GT engine would be the best.
