The fact he kept the rotary makes me so happy.
+alZiiHardstylez ya instead of those shitty chevy small blocks and the gay LS motors
+rannz8 those are the master engines
+OG Rocha not in imports
+rannz8 a select few , usually in the RWD ones
Lmfao ls motors aren't shitty . Far more reliable then a dam rotary and still this is cool just because it's still a rotary
O look that turbo has an engine...
Haha
Lmfao
hahaha good one
is that a chassis on your turbo?
Lol nice
That hole in the front is not there to catch air, it's there to suck in the souls of its enemies.
nice one
Sidewayz ha ha ha ha suck in bird shit
Or small boys with kites . .
hits boost at 40,000 rpm
After 6 seconds of boost lag..
+losi8ightyew FIFY 6min** turb lag
+NoOneImportant556 hahaha
+Emil Madsen damm straight! lol
Haha
This car is powered by an 88 mm turbo with a 1.3 liter engine on it :D
The turbo have more displacement than the engine XD
With 2 curvy triangles
he put that rotary on that turbo ;D
So why would you ever need a 7 litre V8, if 1.3 litres, a fan and some triangles can do the same job?
Its more reliable (relatively), less turbo lag and easier to set up.
Piston engines are naturally less reliable. More durable, yes, but this is a drag car, it's not doing 1000 mile road trips, is it? Less lag... there's no lag worth mentioning in a modern setup, and the fraction of a second it takes to come on is probably a benefit. Gives the tyres time to breathe between shifts. Easier to set up? Depends how you look at it. Technically a crossplane V8 is impossible to 'set up' due to its natural incapability of firing in an even manner across the banks. The only thing I can think of is that at this moment in time, it's cheaper, slightly. But then, since when did anything that isn't boring and awful come cheap?

Rx-7's love blowing engines, much less engines in cars that run 7's. I meant they're easier to set up and build because more people know how to do it and there is a bigger market for parts for it.
RX7s never blow up engines. Owners who do not give them the level of care they need to keep them in tip top condition blow up the engines. If you're good, it's theoretically impossible to blow up an engine. Theoretically...
Sure, you could go down the V8 route and everything is there for you, you just throw some cash around and you've got an 800hp engine, no problem.... but where's the fun in that. A 7 litre, 800hp engine is not impressive at all. A 300hp 1.3 is very impressive though, and an 800hp 1.3... now THAT is entertainment, and interesting to build! And once you DO know how to do it, it's a LOT easier, as the whole engine is just two triangles and a bent shaft.
Why? Cheaper, more reliable, less complicated and doesnt sound like a leafblower...
Need more reasons?
Basically what they were thinking before this project was, "ay holmes, what if we had a super small engine with a big fat turbo on it? vroom vroom right ese`" lol
They're obviously Dominican by the flags on the car & Dominicans dont talk like that.
Jeffrey Vallejos Espinoza its called joking.. humor. lol.
i like this guy
SUPERTIGERG3 Its called racism, but...
Sam Signorino no, i was stereotyping... racism woudla been,
"wow, stupid mexicans,go back to mexico with you're fat turbos."
im not racist, just a humorous person speaking freely as I'm ok to do on the internet.
That´s insane :D
He knows no mercy... going to rpm limit with a cold engine 1.3 liter and 850 hp
it blew my mind
Rotaries are a different kind of beast lol. From the factory it is highly recommended to regularly hit red line. It keeps oil flowing in all the right places and prevents carbon build up.
no replacement for displacement....oh wait he did 7 secs LOL
...no. 7 snores...yawn.
No replacement for displacement has been an obsolete saying for years. Boost is a perfectly acceptable replacement for displacement.
Joseph Victors
boost is displacement!!!!
Joseph Victors yeaaah but when you add boost, plus displacement, you shave 2 whole seconds of that 7.95. v8 drag cars kids, always ahead.
Joseph Victors I guess that's why this 7 second drag car can't be registered to drive on public roads while Drag Week has low 6 second drag cars running V8's that drive over 1000 miles on public roads in a week. Besides, displacement can handle more torque than boost could ever hope to.
Jeez! I thought for sure it would've been at least a 2.0 liter 3 rotor engine, not the 1.3 liter 2 rotor! Kudos to you for making the rotary such a badass!
By the looks of the comments. No one knows what a rotary engine is or what they sound like. You narrow minded people. I guess if it doesn't have a LS swap it's a piece of shit then... smh.
ill be honest I know how to fill up a car and drive it. I just love cars enough to watch this stuff, and be subscribed to this channel. it annoys me when I see arrogant comments like the ones youre talking about. just enjoy the fuckin video right?
I don't think even Wankle imagined this lol
MobiusPhantom7 thats a 13b pp by the sounds of it, no need for a ls swap there mate
Matt561 *Wankel
MobiusPhantom7 how does that thing get the turbo spooled???
Anyone who is questioning the rotary engine should do a search on the history of the rotary engine in the LeMans. If memory serves me, when Mazda introduced the rotary in they're Lemans vehicle it ended up in they're being banned because they were thought to have an unfair advantage. The were using a 4 rotor engine which was literally created from 2 13b engines and the issue was that the 4 rotor engine was able to create the same power as the other cars with half the weight which ended up giving Mazda a great advantage and because of that it was banned. While it has it's faults, the Wankel Rotary is a great engine.
sounds like a very pissed off chain saw
omg i was thinking that!! XD
it's a friggin rotary thats how they sound
Antonio Philip thats how a ported rotary sounds.
***** it's still a rotary :P
One of my favorite imports at its time love the rotary engine especially coupled with a turbo that's bigger then the displacement. Keep up the good work guys that car is a beast, Look forward to seeing some more runs.
This guy is smart I think he has seen the dino fail videos and he didn't push his luck.
Never thought I'd see anything that spectacular coming from a Mazda RX7. Congrats bros.
If you wanna see come sick mazdas search pac performance
F.W Spencer pac is fast... But not faster than major league rx8 or loquito killer rx8
Loved the sound when he first fired it up! bwub bwub bwub bwub hahaha!!!
more like brap brap brap brap :)
more like crap crap crap crap crap ;)
Alexander Young sorry to hear you own a Prius
Haha, nah I'm fine with tuner cars, but I'm not really into this kind of engine sound
Yeah lol it takes it takes a love for the engine to really enjoy the sound
i bet he goes through more quarts of oil than tires lol
+aaronzack14 *calls advanced auto
-hi, I'm gonna need 16 gallons of royal purple...
Marty McFly Royal Purple is shit. Use Idemetsu :)
+teamvenom09 Bruh, Castrol all the way
+nihal dhillon
Idemitsu pre-mix oil in your FUEL (essentially it's a 2-stroke motor) is the oil way to go! Castrol "motor" oil is great, but if you are not running the oil metering pump (OMP) you always switch to a full synthetic in the motor to better protect the apex seals and create a better overall combustion seal of protection as it does not burn! It is proven that even Mobil 1 15w-50 & Idemitsu 20w-50 full-synthetics in the rotary motor provide the best wear and sealing characteristics. I run Castrol in everything else I own except my 457hp 13B. Castrol has always made a great product. Mobil 1 15w-50 full synthetic also has added ZDDP (zinc) which is a huge help. It is listed in red on the back of the 5qt jug available at Walmart for a whole $28. Never run synthetic if you are running the stock oil metering pump or you are going to ruin your motor as synthetic oil does NOT burn. Conventional oil will burn while lubricating the seals therefore not gum up inside your housings...
LOL I bet the owner of the white rx7 appreciates all the exhaust in his window
I'd be more worried about the flame that it popped then the fumes!
Same guys own the white FC also. Team KC Rotary
And the oil/fuel mist spraying all over the side of the car
Nick Kautz There's no oil or raw fuel coming out of that exhaust. Just smoke and a bit of flame. This RX7 is on alcohol, no liquid akly is making it that far. Plus, Like I said, the other car belongs to the same guys, I highly doubt they are bothered by it. I know these guys.
paul rogers He knew what he was getting into
A well built rotary should get as much respect as any other. To many rotary haters around. Australia and some of the Caribbeans countries have awesome setups...
That's one helluva ride-on mower.
I love this car. I've seen this video about 20 times. As impressive as the first time.
Wow what a sick car. Cool to see them make their first 7 sec run on my home track!
40,000 rpm turbo weed wacker.
+dave runner Damn its fast.
This weed wacker will kick the shit out of you got
LOL it isn't a 4 cylinder, so it is acceptable.
HEY CRAPPER MOUTH?What the fuck do you have?
Runnningonempty whacha mean i like the rx7 thoo
That exhaust venting from the fenders looks sexy.
I feel like if he put in the work, he could make sick side exhaust vents for it
It's a good way to get the pipe out of the car,
Yeah and the waste gate screamer out the bonnet.
Shows you what a good tune and brains can do with a motor and turbo that size. Im more of a Mopar guy, but this is an extremely well built machine. Very nice.
Even back in the late 70/80's, those rotary engines where dominating grudge nights at the track.
Jeff H. In racing circles rotaries were renowned for their longevity. An engine needs to be built from scratch to run @ 10K without blowing.
Badass even sounds sick when it idles sick little car
It sounds like a pissed off snowmobile.
I have to agree realy 2 stroke like sound .
Bobilator Realitywall I agree a vvvveeeerrry pissed off 2-stroke! haha
Acutally alot of older snowmobiles have wankel engines just like this....
because it's only a little 1.3 liter engine pumping out 800 hp
It is.
Magnificent guys ! Great work on one of the coolest combustion engines there is. And so fast ! BIG thumbs up from Holland.
For such little motors, they sure pack a massive punch! Awesome
Sounds like a two stroke at idle
+FSXgta Hah true. Sounds a bit meaner and deeper than my Kawasaki 85cc :D
I always say that
+FSXgta Rotaries are a two cycle four stroke, they have a true 4 cycle (combustion event) but unlike a piston 4 cycle engine the Wankel rotary only needs one crank shaft revolution to complete its cycle, just like a two stroke piston engine.
+RonbyBobinski its more of an all stroke, theres no cooldown in the rotary combustion cycle.
+RonbyBobinski it has 3 combustions per revolution... so its a 3 stroke
From leaf blower to rocket ship in 7 seconds. Its a transformer!
Isn't it crazy how turbos work?
Nice work Bola de Humo
Insane direct peripheral ports to support all that intake,that Turbo is just SICK!!!
Rotary engines are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy:).
And their end is proof that the majority of the world is pussy soft to handle rotaries
Not sure of that.. Felix Wankel joined NSDAP (Nazis) aged 20. Hitler made the Autobahn. So god is a Nazi? Fun fact: Wankel never had a driving license
Don't get your pet Chihuahua next to that turbo it'll suck it in.
+sancho closet did you know how to spell chihuahua? or did u spell check it?
Id be amazed if someone with a car like that had a Chihuahua
That is pretty sick! Nice dude
Good job on that rotary.
Sounds great.
that's what I'm talking about, 1.3 liters!!! I hate how everyone wants to molest these rx-7's with a heavy v8?? turbo and small displacement ftw!!
They need to swap for a 3 rotor engine. That would be amazing.
Perfectly stated! All great engineering feats should be praised and respected.
That is so cool that you were able to put in the hard work to make that happen. Im more of a v8 guy but i always thought these were cool!
I wana c this car eatin through gears on the street also a reaction video
Thats no turbo, thats a fucking jet!
I just get so much enjoyment out of this for some reason. It sounds so small but just flys.
That has to be one of the best sounding rx7 I've ever heard, I honestly thought he was tapping the throttle really fast in the beginning the I remembered it's a rotary
It's weird to see that a Dominican person has a purpose built race car. Usually most Dominicans aren't into cars.
Yeah from what I've seen, Most Dominicans aren't into drag racing!
+Isaiah Strange but true Dominicans are pretty much into rotaries though.
Im domincan and i love cars in general and I personally will have a fc soon
I'm Dominican and I've had two 94 FD3S RX7s both modified. Sold one and then heavily modified the one I kept. I am going to put a 3 rotor engine on it soon. I also have a modified BMW M6. When it comes to motorcycles I raced Supermoto and at the same time owned a modified 07 Yamaha R1. Sold the bikes and kept my RX7 and M6 until I get another bike. I do time attacks and track days along with my Puerto Rican friends. We all race.
can somebody tell me what are those holes on the side of the car and what they do?? imma newbie at this..
That's the exhaust pipe. They pipe it straight from the manifold to the side of the car for maximum airflow. That turbo is putting so much air into the motor that it wouldn't make max power if it couldn't get rid of it all.
OJ Simpson ohh i get it now,., thanks bro appreciate it :)
OJ Simpson that and the motor would probably rocket its self out the hood.
rotary motors dont rocket out of a hood like a regular piston engine would.
Robert Roberts Yea... it will shoot back and kill anyone behind it :>
*great rotary setup on that turbo*
nice work man!
RUTHLESS
All these people talking shit about the car and I bet they dont come anywhere near the 7 sec pass this man made...nice job hating the car you will never beat hahahah
SOUNDS SO GOOD TUDAI
I want one. I've always liked the Rx7's. That's totally insane.
Dominican flag #dominicanproud
No replacement for displacement MY ASS!
I don't think you fully understand that concept. There is still no replacement for displacement. A turbo does not get included in the displacement size of the engine.
I don't think you understand the saying fully. Obviously the turbo isn't included as displacement, that makes no sense. The turbo is the replacement for displacement, people who use that saying believe that big V8's rule and putting a turbo on a small engine makes no difference. This video proves that wrong.
People use that saying because it's true. Example: a 3L engine can make more power than a 1.3L engine everything else being equal. A supercharger of any kind is only a replacement for displacement to a point (and usually when the other engine doesn't have a supercharger, funny enough).
Ultimately though, there is no replacement for displacement. I don't care how much boost and power you can make with a supercharged engine, you can always build a NA engine big enough to have more power.
Bullshit! Please show me an engine that is N/A that can produce over 1500-2000 hp
While I'm not sure what "1500-2000hp" has to do with anything, seems like you brought that up for no reason but Sonny's "EXTREME PRO STOCK 892 CU. IN." comes to mind. It makes 2035HP at 8100rpm and 1415 lb/ft of torque at 6500rpm NA. I'm sure you can find other examples by other makers of NA engines over at, about, or over 2000HP. Sonny even make a truly monstrous 1000ci, 16.39 liter engine which they say is over 2150HP though $/HP I'm not sure it's as good a buy as others relativity speaking (or, of course, what you could build on your own if you have the skill, time, and money. We are talking engines that cost as much as a decent new Corvette.)
So, as I said, ultimately there is no replacement for displacement when you can simply build a bigger engine. And we haven't even touched colossal stanonary or marine engines, some of those you can literally fit a sbc inside ONE cylinder!
Love the idle sound.
Beautiful voice Mary, absolutely love your version of Brave, keep going girl you will make it!
Hes Dominican! :D
Yup I was like a fellow Dominican
Be great at traffic lights!
I have a 83 Rx7 gsl myself and I love it, it's Street Ported with a custom header exhaust. It's quick and fun.
And he kept it rotary 😍 makes it a million times better 🔥🔥🔥
Just gets to a point where its overly ridiculous. Track racings just about seeing how fast a car can go in a straight line... Which is cool, but when you take a car with leather seats and luxury then strip it down to its bare bolts and put a 1000 hp in it... Its not really as flattering anymore. Idk just something about it makes it not even seem like its a car anymore
Yeah, I know the feeling. Seeing unorthadox things run is fun though.
Guy had a fully loaded late 90s Buick Lesabre supercharged and it was basically a street car. Ran the quarter in 11 seconds with the AC on.
fuck me! 7s with 1.3L engine and i thought the corvette the best thing ever
fuck my life i hate mazda
It's a wankle. Lots of power in small package but horid mpg
Lol we got a Chevy guy over here who has never heard of a rotary.
Better hit up that Google pal
david leatherhof ok it's a wankle it's a rotary...tell me than how the hell a 1.3 engine rotary wankle whatever can be fast as hell like that.. magic? funkn MAZDA!
now i have ls3 vette for example if my ls3 was 1.3.. what is that a one piston maybe 2?..my question is.. with the same turbo can i get the 7s ?
someone explain for me please how a small engine like that can be that fast i know and i believe the chevy engine not slow with some work with ls3 i beat any porsche gt2 & turbo S since day 1 with a big smile in my face always
...just i'm wondering if i was wasting my time with big ci engines for nothing if i can be that fast with rotary 1.3 engine?
First off it doesn't use Pistons
Second it doesn't go back and forth like the piston it just spins in one direction
If your really interested there plenty of videos on UA-cam that can help you grasp just how amazing this engine is.
If not I can write a hole fuckin essay about that engine if you really want
david leatherhof thanks for the reply
well all i can say is... the rotary engine is pure race engine for real if you are a gearhead this is the right choice...this engine is real quick!
Nice motor you got on that turbo!
but it's so ugly
show me a 7 second car that looks streetable.
***** Look up the channel Sloppy Mechanics and look up Mark's notch, should be a relatively recent video of him running 7's in the quarter in a fox body. LS powered, stock truck heads stock LS1 intake stock throttle body lol.
yamahondarider I just did, and this rx7 looks WAY nicer than that.
Well no shit, thats the difference between spending $100,000 on your 7 second car (RX7) or $20,000 on building a 7 second car (Mustang)
The Mustang is great. No frills just fast as fuck and you can drive it to get pump gas and coffee, then to the track, run 7's, drive it home.
that's some serious airflow!!
Love how it sounds
Good work m8!
Nice rotary to go with your turbo. Beast.
Of all of my cars, the 1 that i miss is my 1985 gsl-le 13b 6 port with a side draft 48 delardo carb. Got it when i was 16 and sold it at 17. Racing at Dodger stadium on Thursday nights was fun. Just reminiscing.
awesome
congradulations on a true engineering feet!!
That thing sounds crazy!
*Respect. Love the Rotary dudes. Not very consistent, compared to their V8 counterparts, but SO IMPRESSIVE.
I've seen the first hand in Okinawa thought it was insane first time around. still just as insane. those rotary engines are a masterpiece 1.3 liter 13B with over 800 horses crazy design not to mention a redline over 12000 rpms.
I love it, it's a great lesson in physics. Great set up...!!
What a blast !!! Sounds like my old yz 125 dirt bike.
Also, I love the sound; that is a harsh, angry-sounding engine, in a really good way!
Holy hell! Never new a boat could take a turn that fast lol!
Great car man. That's fast ! *** .Thanks.
love the sound tough
Holy shit! That one sick RX-7!
What a great motor to base a drag build on. The Wankel motors are a fantastic motor. Tough and reliable.
Wichita, Kansas! Hell yea!
I've never liked the sound of an RX-7, but that was just amazing!!!
man, hearing that engine...what a beast
Bridgeport turbo!! Wicked!
Little black bumble bee on steroids!! Love this rx7, not over the top, kept clean & congrats on the 7, hot damn!!
Rotary engines sound sooo good :3
It's mindblowing how small a rotary engine is and the power it can put out!
SO BRUTAL!! PROPS TO THE OWNERS!!
It sounds like a pissed off lawn mower! I love it!
This was my very first car and i loved it 1980 rx7.I could get second gear side ways for like a telephone pole bone stock,and it had true pausy trac id come out of a parking lot left or right slow and the other side would chirp,chirp,chirp.awesome cars!
he's pulling all the power he can out of that 1.3, thats awesome
Rotary is more efficient than piston driven engines per liter. Proven over and over. Yet we're still in love with the Piston based designed. Can you imagine a high displacement big bore rotary with a nice turbo set up? My gosh.
Looking at the title I expected to see a 1/8 mile race... WOW nice ride bro !
Sounds like an angry 2 stroke, love it
wooooow Dominic Republic is making real work on that Supra
