All non-787B (LeMans car) 4 rotor car are a custom affair. This one appears to be two 13B-rew fused together on a common eccentric shaft.
How it will fit in a FDs engine bay is beyond me. It is pretty small in there and a 4 rotor is a long engine.

I'd never even heard of a four rotor. Of course I'm new to the rotary scene so that's not really a surprise. I just thought it was either really cool or a whole lot of BS.

So yeah, it is really cool.
Here is a really cool link with some great pics of the engine from the 787B. Too bad it is in German (you can use altavista for a rough translation).
