Rob! I have news! I am now part of the _Rotary_ family! I just picked up an old German Sachs KM37 engine (1964, single rotor, 3-5 hp, 108cc). I know I know, it's not a 4 rotor or something, but it's a start!
Absolutely awesome video Rob! Please please pleeease do some more of these "in depth" style videos. I personally love the style, and looking at the more technical aspect of these builds. Keep it up man!
Gonna be doing any ducting and undertrays to make the new radiator work better? Couldn't help notice that this one overheats in traffic without it. Can give tips if you want
Rob make sure you have enough heat shielding for your waste gate hoses as they will experience extreme heat and possibly melt. had that issue on my 13b re and took 2 layers of heat shielding to prevent it.
Rob, it's not possible to reassemble the wastegate with the controller fitment pointing the other way? I mean, to the same side that the screamer pipe is running?
Hey Rob i just got a stock 20b Eunos Cosmo, Any recommendations for parts shopping I've been looking at Jegs and Summit for new spark plug cables any other place you know that would sell parts for a 20b as well?
Man I would love to pull that motor and redo the wiring, the zip ties, i bet that Abel wants to do the same lol, but glad to see this finally happening.
is this the RX7 that you used the Harbor Freight hydraulic ram on? Because of your video, I fixed my front end on my winter beater Civic that I got with minor front end damage. I kept looking up on Google and UA-cam on how to pull front end damage out with tow straps or chains and it never got me anywhere. With your recommendation, it made my front end repair much easier thanks Rob!
Are you planning to use an air filter? It sure looks tight! I see a lot of very expensive and beautiful engines on YT without air filters and IMO, that is a big no-no.
I might understand it if they were cars only driven on the track and they don't mind doing regular rebuilds. For a street/track car, that's another story. It seems silly to spend so much money on an engine and not take one of the most basic preventative measures. Take a good look inside of an air box and filter and notice all of the crap that gets in side. Leaves, twigs, mouse nest junk, whatever. Again, it just doesn't make sense not using one.
Does the airfilter have a downside when it comes to performance? Surely it must affect the airflow somewhat, just wondering if the effect it has is significant enough to make it worth running without a filter.
For what Rob is doing, the loss in horsepower would be hardly measurable. That said, if he's doing a 1/2 mile timed run, then I can see looking for that little bit of extra power. Running without a filter on the roads is another story. It's not worth the risk.
Rob buddy nice install, but really show quality? You got to machine all that crap of off lower plenum, not use block off plates and weld all unused vacuum ports shut, THEN polish it out, I spent over 80 hours machining, welding, blending and polishing and perfecting that lower plenum and had it ceramic clear coated, plus all the other polished engine parts. the complete build of my 3 rotor and finished car took 3 yrs. but it turned out sweat! keep swinging it takes a lot of time.
So I looked up the turbo and watched everything and I was like “yeah I got this” then I remember a gxl FC has a 13b Then I cried myself to sleep and now I’m trying to find out how to buy a engine
![600WHP From a 3 ROTOR Mazda RX-3 With a MASSIVE TURBO is INSANE! [4K]](/img/n.gif)

I want a Sachs too.
Godfrey Poon
It took me ages to find one! Keep looking and one will eventually surface *;)*
Man, I've been looking for a decently priced one for a while. It's amazing the prices they go for.
From every video that Rob has made with Abel in it. Its made me feel like Abel is Robs Rotary dad.
Rob Dahm knows how to tighten his studs.
its looking good rob can't wait for the 3 rotor to be done same with the quad rotor its gonna be lit asf
Get this man one million subscribers,he needs to finish the 4 rotor.
I'm glad you're addressing the three-rotor. It's the car that made me subscribe in the first place.
Year 2045: “The 4 rotor will be ready soon i swear!”
daddy dahm thanks for the upload
Thanks for featuring music I don't hear on literally every other youtube channel.
Absolutely awesome video Rob! Please please pleeease do some more of these "in depth" style videos.
I personally love the style, and looking at the more technical aspect of these builds.
Keep it up man!
“Double nut” So many good lines in this vid Rob.
Gonna be doing any ducting and undertrays to make the new radiator work better?
Couldn't help notice that this one overheats in traffic without it. Can give tips if you want
So happy for you man! Making real progres on all fronts. Keep it rolling!
That exhaust manifold is like a work of art
dahm you're pumping out some killer content lately
What about the 4 rotor?
Rob make sure you have enough heat shielding for your waste gate hoses as they will experience extreme heat and possibly melt. had that issue on my 13b re and took 2 layers of heat shielding to prevent it.
Thanks for the upload Rob, Can't wait to see ur cars running!
Cool content Rob Dahm. Beard game on point per usual!
This would be awfully fun to watch run around a course at the Misfit Toys Autocross event... 😏
Imagine the 3 Rotor beats the 4 Rotor in a race
Well, the 4 rotor has to run first.
well the 3 rotor is a drag car.
Keisuke Takahashi na bro... 4 rotor is life
Keisuke Takahashi its setup is similar to kenblocks mustang.
Keisuke Takahashi why would he waste time and money with doing a suspension setup like that for a drag car?
T-clamp man, same architecture as a v-band clamp, no issues with wearing out and can hold more clamping force than a worm clamp
Come on Rob! y-y-y-you gotta grab the nuts R-R-R-Rob!
If you guys want to show support like the video! Check out the intro song used here:

Kinda weird how I knew who uploaded the video just by a generic thumbnail
Make sure you dudes wire up the damn ignition as part of your cleanup, you savage! 😋 Great progress!
there is 1 rotor missing
Can’t wait for this 4 rotor
Where do you hook up the coolant lines to the motor cooling system
2:22 I too, giggled like the immature child I still am.
Rob, it's not possible to reassemble the wastegate with the controller fitment pointing the other way? I mean, to the same side that the screamer pipe is running?
Never clicked a video that fast before.
Hey Rob i just got a stock 20b Eunos Cosmo, Any recommendations for parts shopping I've been looking at Jegs and Summit for new spark plug cables any other place you know that would sell parts for a 20b as well?
Hey rob are you going to be using straight cut gears in your 4 rotor?
Yes. Holinger made my rd6 transmision
Rob Dahm good straight cut sounds so good with a rotory👍
Rob Dahm Ooooh boy, that's gonna sound so sexy! Nothing but love for you, daddy Dahm
Thank you for having a nice car daddy Dahm.
Man I would love to pull that motor and redo the wiring, the zip ties, i bet that Abel wants to do the same lol, but glad to see this finally happening.
Is there no concern with running a divided turbine housing on the single exit of the turbo manifold??
Why didn't u have the exhaust housing on the turbo and the manifold ceramic coated ? Maybe it messes with the exhaust temp sensors?
Finally a fucking video about one of the rx7s only been like 2 months
looking amazing Rob

That’s wonderful to hear!
Wasn't that the vid where he said, this is how you shouldn't do this kind of thing and laughed his ass off?
Liked before watching because rotary!
4:17 skyline kenmeri spotted at the top left?

tscooter22 alot of track cars don't have filters, idk why

tscooter22 what does an air filter do?(sorry I’m still learning about this type of stuff)
I'm thinking you probably should have used anti-seize compound on the exhaust bolts.
So, like, what the heck do you plan on doing about a turbo inlet?
Check out the Lps alphaloc their couplers set ups are the best ive seen. Super easy to work with also
Did you move to Cali or just on a very long vacation?
Couldn't you have changed the orientation of the black part wastegate housing by taking it apart?
It's getting there
the copper gasket cement on exhaust flange is just gonna burn up the first time it hits boost LOL
2 step coming soon!!
Does anyone know the address for Abel’s shop?? I need some work on my FD. I tried googling it, but no address comes out. Thanks
Love the videos bro!.
Hey nice 3 Rotor on Turbo :D
Couldn't the wastegate body be rotated? The top part should come off with 2 or 4 fasteners under the diaphragm area.
That will be awesome !!!
how to properly install?,where was the anti -seize on the exhaust stud threads?
1:50 ahh rob u crack me up
Can you do more in depth videos please
Maybe go full drift car and tube frame the front. You can get a lot of room with that. That’s what I would do.
I love your videos rob, but where the hell is the 4 rotor?!?!
When the 3 rotor is all done, you should definitely go to some racin'
Love you rob dahm
How about that sketchy harness?
Lol ur waste gate is as big as my turbo 😂
I love you man
ooh did i spot the scale models from creaform?
whats that hard beat in the background? is it a song or nah?
K C soundcloud.com/jaretkeethler/the-move
tyvm
haha parts for FDs are expensive. I just bought 2 rear brackets for the larger RZ rear calipers etc.. cost close to $300.
Are you interested in 2nd gen?
Laser scanner??
I'm realy wanted to build a mx5 miata NA but im 14...
Those prices wouldn't have been so bad on the wallet if you didn't buy McDonalds the other day Rob..
But the sauce Morty. I need that Mulan sauce loo
gotta have that Schezuan sauce
The general public isn't part of your main viewership. Remember that. Lets all geek out.
we actually do give a shit about technical talk
You need a new wiring harness, or you need to reloom it. Makes your engine bay look ruff.
Where will the air filter live?
Hey Rob, I got a question..
Where's the 4 rotor 😉
Go AN setup for your oil drain. That hose will fail eventually
Every stud installer I’ve ever seen is designed to work on the threads, not the shoulder.
For God sake give the engine some love, clean it! :'v
i thought exhaust gaskets never hold up to boost
4 Raviolis, where they at Rob
Intro song?
Rob buddy nice install, but really show quality?

Boost !!
Dat wastegate bigger than my turbo!
I want to put a rotary engine in my 1996 Chevy camaro
Song @3:13 anyone?
S RAFF same here it slaps I wonder what it is
You can't clock a waste gate???
So I looked up the turbo and watched everything and I was like “yeah I got this” then I remember a gxl FC has a 13b
Then I cried myself to sleep and now I’m trying to find out how to buy a engine
Its called a fire ring and thats a valve not a piston lol
Rob use waterless coolant you won't be disappointed (Evans)
60 of that quick valve lol only done by 55
Rob where's the turbo3 rotor?
So with all the 3 rotor content as of late, does that mean the 4 rotor is dead in the water?
joedpl no he’s commented about Abel building the engine. It’s art, not something you can slap together over night.
Rob is a raisin
UA-cam has *demonized* your content...
becuase this isn't the four rotor.
Daddy Dahm Can show us how to mount a turbo on car but cant give us 4 rotor updates....
