Porting a rotary all depends on your application. If you drive your car on the street, you use a street port. If you your car is a race only car, you use the maximum porting the rules allow. If porting is not restricted by your race sanctioning body rule book, then you run a peripheral port. If they don't allow a peripheral port, then you run a bridge port. These racing ports are not street-able for daily street driving, because 90% of street driving is done at low rpms, below 3500 rpm. These racing ports don't produce torque below 5000 rpm.
I agree. You can get a lot out of standard motor running big ignition , water injection and a hell of a lot of boost! But ported rotary sounds so premium 👌
Actually, I have a brigeport and it's not that bad if you spend enough time tuning low load and transient. It can be pretty streetable without being annoying, but it takes time to get the fueling right. And it's incorrect to say they don't make torque below 5000rpm. That's purely dependent on your turbo. I have a BorgWarner 8374 that makes full boost around 3500-4krpm and has loads of torque by 3krpm.

walking home from primary school everyday in the early 90s there was an bridge ported RX4 savannah that mustve either been coming home from work or going to work around 3:15pm monday to friday. it was because of this car that my first car was a FC RX7 with large extend port and a respecced T04 bolt ons and management to suit. until you own a rotary you will never know the joy of driving them. just a very different experience overall vs piston motors. i own a 8J TTRS today, the FC is in storage.
Based on just this video alone...i can see that even though both Rx 7 cars produce 700hp on the street the yellow one seems to make it sooner as if there is more torque available on boost lower in the mid rpm range which on the streets is king! However on the open highways the black peri port may shine there on the top end!
I like the look of the black one better but that yellow one was friggin hittin. for sure the faster one. thing looked like it was revving up effortleslsy
The frustrating part of having all that horsepower , can't enjoy it as much with city traffic . On top of the speed bumps ,pot holes and other crappy drivers on the road .
Beautiful rotors . Peripheral ported turbos were once the thing of dreams but now with advanced tech engine management and tuning it’s a great combination. I had an extend port 13b turbo series v and that was a lot of fun !
Damn AUSSIE GIRLS NO WHATZUP 😘😘😂both those SE7ENS sound good man but the black one when Clay let's off sounds like a fire traveling through a barrel so nuts
One of the best content creators, second to none ultimate professional the video speaks for it self massive huge thank you to you clay and Alex for what was an unreal afternoon 💪🏼
Cracker content. Clay you need to pay Shady from Master Automotive a visit. Most knowledgeable rotary specialist in Sydney and always willing to share ideas. He’ll show you some insane builds.
How many rotary-powered vs piston-engine vehicles have you owned? The reason I ask is because while I have owned several RX-7s that have managed well over 250k miles on the original factory engines, each of my Mazdas that did so were non-turbo and maintained religiously. I had a 1985 GSL-SE that made it to 270k miles before I sold it to a friend, but the very first RX-7 I ever owned (and my most beautiful example) was an '89 GTUs. That car had 198k miles on it when I bought it, and I daily drove it for years. Unfortunately, I was T-boned by a drunk driver going 50 MPH in the middle of an intersection. It had 319k miles on it when it was totalled... all on the original engine, never rebuilt. That was a sad day. I swear, that '89 felt as though it had at least another couple hundred thousand miles left in it. I stayed on top of the oil, used a little rotary pre-mix additive every now and then, and made sure it held solid compression. It was such an awesome little car, and by far the best condition FC3S I ever owned. In total, I've owned 4 RX-7s; 2 first gens, and 2 second gens. I had a matte black 12A-powered '79, the '85 GSL-SE, the '89 GTUs, and a 1990 Turbo-II. The only car I had to invest a significant amount of time and money into was the Turbo-II. That car was a blast, but it was not without its issues. Still, I'd take another one on as a weekend project, but truth be told, I'm either going to end up with a third gen (FD3S) or a 930 Porsche 911. So, what rotary-powered cars have you owned? Do you still own any? Cheers.
@@Holmesson rx7 s4 Savana 13b turbo , rx8 6port miss this alot , 626 coupe montrose 12a turbo out of a cosmo and currently have a 1981 rx7 s2 Gsl 12a 6port . 130,000kms and still 110psi on all sides . Starts amazing first pop flawless .
I ran my non turbo full bridge port over 130,000 km. Religious oil changes at 5000km or less, oil injection at max…premix for track days. Summer & winter tune on the 48ida plus regular plugs and they will last even with hard driving
13:02 i remember being in bumper to bumper traffic heading to the gold coast on a sunday around mt gravatt on the highway. i got sick of changing gears so i just left it in 1st (FC RX7) there was a car next me with a kid in the back seat, he had been smiling at the noise for awhile, but when i left it in 1st and got up to 80kph and let off the accelerator his face went to terror from the noise that ensued. he started crying and his mother death stared me and put up the windows. :P
That's a Neighborhood not a Hood 😂 When Suburban kids want to be ghetto so bad but cry to mom and dad when ghetto ish occurs. Be you, not someone you're not.
ok so I'm looking to get an rx7 but the more research I do, the more conflicted I get. Should I get one from the Japan auctions or here in Australia? Are the prices on Carsales ridiculous or are they worth it? Start stock & slowly build or buy one with some decent mods already? I've had a jdm before but never a rotary.
Look, if ya gotta brap, ya gotta brap! So what it gets 5 mpg and spits fire and pisses everybody off! So what ya gotta add 2 cycle oil to the tank! Just make more money and keep spare engines😂😂😂
Just came across your channel and shocked you dont have a mill subscribers. Good quality vids and you seem like a cool person.
Arkham FD has been for sale for a while.
I think he’s asking like $110K.
Black One is the best one love the sound.
yellow one better

It’s ok I’ll just drive around in first gear 💪🏼😎👌🏼
Not in NZ, maybe in country’s with rules, we drive PPz everywhere
Nz has no restrictions on porting rotarys

Ever since you got a rx7 and so much rotary content your channel grew on me love the content keep it coming clay
why i clicked the video: learn about dorito mods.
Why and when i left: stayed till the end with a smile on my face, that was awesome.
Very nice to see these cars getting some love. Kinda tired of seeing all the Supra’s and Skyline’s dominating UA-cam. Good job Clay.
couldnt have happened to a better creator! one of the best on youtube. imo :)

Can’t beat the sound of that Bridgeport man!!💪🏽💪🏽
Semi peripheral turbo is so sick better than bridgeport turbo. Im hooked
You drove past my shop 10 times... "Edward Lees Imports" Victoria rd West Ryde
22:51 did anyone else see that tesla try to mess with him but get completely ignored lmfaoooooo
Can't believe I've been sleeping on you dude! Great video. Much love. Both those fellas should reach out to rob dahm to unlock ultimate+
21:15 that flame lit up the whole street🤣
Yeah a soulless Tesla will never make real car folks smile like these two cars always will!
How sick are both those rides. Good to see you blasting around my local streets. Love it 👍👍👍
I like the look of the black one better but that yellow one was friggin hittin. for sure the faster one. thing looked like it was revving up effortleslsy
This video made me giggle like a little kid so so much awesome
Was smiling with joy while watching this video, so good 💪🏼
2 great tuned car examples. Good for those owners. FD is a classic masterpiece.
Gorgeous cars, I love the sound of the bridgy, soo krispy especially when that gate hits ❤ gorgeous 👌🏽thank you all for the content 🫡
The frustrating part of having all that horsepower , can't enjoy it as much with city traffic . On top of the speed bumps ,pot holes and other crappy drivers on the road .
I came for the Rotarys!
This makes me miss my first car. 88 RX7 SE 5spd Ported, MSD Ignition pack, headers and Apexi N1 Exhaust. FD was always the dream car though!!
Beautiful rotors . Peripheral ported turbos were once the thing of dreams but now with advanced tech engine management and tuning it’s a great combination. I had an extend port 13b turbo series v and that was a lot of fun !
Great video Clay. Both cars are beautiful but the yellow one.. great colour, killer engine bay.

The exhaust valve on the yellow one sounds crazy!
Wow that how you drive a rotary engine car , I'm love how you guy drives
I'm not a fan of yellow cars in general but the FD does the color soo much justice!
10 second 1/4 cars??? Nice video!
definitely this music make our stress away, brings the smile
Man that sun really messed the video up

🔥🔥🔥 love the ported taco sounds and acceleration!
Awwwww the old RX🥰 so glad it went to someone who turned it into a proper monster! 🤙
so close till 100k subs you really deserve it
Outside of a '90s GT-R (Nismo fan here, RB is just sick sounding 😅), a ported FD would be amazing, complete with off throttle "flamethrower" exhaust!
More rotary content Clay!
funny his plate is ARKHAM on a FD and my FD is DRKNYT
Awesome videos man honestly sky is the limit for you.
Another banger my bro 🎉🎉

i smiled for the entire video especially at 30:26
Bridgey for the win. That braps hard.
I really love black.... just black on black 😅😅
I see clays video, I press like
Fantastic sounds quality
The bridge sounds slightly better, maybe due to exhaust set up but the Simi PP is probably easier to live with
nothing like a plane motor in a car,holy crap
Not a plane motor lol thats a different type of rotary engine.
deadly🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
tuff FDs! top vid bruz
Fantastic
That black car definitely has a t51r mod on the Garrett turbo. Having a g42 myself those turbos are notoriously quiet
No t51r mod I can promise you that if you have one I can get it to make the noise
@@benji_arkham very much interested loll I have a Garrett g42-1200c on a 13b as well.
What is the maintenance cycle like on these? I want to buy an Rx7 so bad but the maintenance just seems like rebuilds every 2 oil changes.
ok so I'm looking to get an rx7 but the more research I do, the more conflicted I get. Should I get one from the Japan auctions or here in Australia? Are the prices on Carsales ridiculous or are they worth it? Start stock & slowly build or buy one with some decent mods already? I've had a jdm before but never a rotary.
My one is fully bridged with semi PP 🔥💪
Love it wong tym
I see favorite Metal Dorito Car. I like and Subscribe
Forst off both amazing cars.
I came to say Bridgeport all the way.
Batman just changed mymind.
Bridgeport only for noise makes not more power PP or monster will tho.
was wondering how he kept this noise weapon on the street till he closed the valve haha.
Miss my FD, these cars definitely require a lot of time. I would love to own a another one but at the end of the day it’s a toy.
Those cars still look better than any car today.
Semi pp is a better option. Huge airflow and more reliability than the bridge port
Cheers both buetiful do like the yellow' cheers
Just love how low they sit. An yer go
Yip bro had rx3 said maitenence n warm it up bit. Thanx
That's sick!
Brap brap brap brap!
Wooohoooo.
😎Sugoiii
FD’s and Rotors all day. Ya’ll can keep your Supras and 2j’s.
Good video.
That rear roof wing on the black rx7 really makes it, love the stealthy batman look to it, looks fucking sick.
Bridge port is the way to go, quicker, and sounds better 10× better 💯👌
I myself have driven a 13B turbo Bridgeport I've never driven PP port
Honest question which do people prefer the most
Where do you get the exhaust valves?
is there a sequel... with the actual race
toyota released a new supra, nissan gave us a new Z, when will mazda give us an updated modern rx7?
They tried, it's was the RX8... you saw how great that went
@@driftnasty1 hopefully a new rx7 with rotary will be released soon
Need to give it
love rx7
ZacBaldy's old FD Bathurst R! Went to the right home it seems!
Yeah coz Baldy F C K ed it !
@@rc70ys This one he didn't do really anything with, the first one however that was wrapped though.....
A real race would entertain us more. Beautiful cars, but no spice video .

What is a semi peripheral port?
Look, if ya gotta brap, ya gotta brap! So what it gets 5 mpg and spits fire and pisses everybody off! So what ya gotta add 2 cycle oil to the tank! Just make more money and keep spare engines😂😂😂
early!!!! w rx7
should’ve compared your rx7 with them.
Rotary are more fun than supra or skyline. I've had both in the past so I know.
They are definitely a lot more fun to drive as u actually have to drive them where skylines and supra just go
Cool video, but clicked because the title suggested there was a race. No race.
Comparison doesn't mean VS. Yes, versus implies a race. There's no VS if they're not sharing a track or stretch of road. Nice REVIEWS, bud
I like the bridge port but prefer the pp
