I literally just finished my S4 FC today. Full street port NA. I use it more as a nostalgic street car for fun. I admired those cars as a kid and now that i have one i will never let it go. Body was restored by me (20 years of collision repair) and the interior is 95% original. Only missing the left strut speaker cover (gray) and left upper dash vent (broken) repainted with Mazda 46V red.
Had fun rebuilding one of these in an RX7 one time. My little sisters always begged me to drive it to school which I let them. They thought they were so cool 😅
I had 3 gslse and a turbo 2 in the past and they were the funnest cars to drive. till this day I think I'm in a rx7 when I'm at the grocery store with my shopping cart
it does work but you need a matching eccentric shaft and plates to suit. the rotor housing and rotors i'm pretty sure are the same for like a 20b and 26b but i could be wrong. That's just how it works in my head hahaa But i'm sure it's not as simple as it seems.
@@orochi2723 Depends on what needs to be replaced when you rebuild it. Its anywhere from $250-$1000 for kits with replacement seals, if you take care of your engine you shouldn’t have to rebuild it for 5+ years.
@@longjohnson699 Driving it like a grandma is usually what kills them faster. Carbon builds up and kills your compression. Builds that are done right can easily last 170k miles with basic maintenance, just have to know how to run them. Can’t run them like pistons engines and expect them to last.
@@longjohnson699My own car stock lasted to over 130k miles. I know a couple guys cars that are over 170k on the original engine. All about knowing how to run them and staying on top of oil changes and keeping the engine from getting too hot.
I've watched both been built by professionals and rotary engines are easier to assemble, but just like a piston engine there are certain things which need to be done properly - like all the prep, machine work, cleaning, gapping/clearancing - all of that done in the background you don't really see..
The rotary is actually a pretty small engine with it only weighing around 210 lbs whereas other sports car engines weigh 400+ lbs it's incredible how such a small engine can make the amount of horsepower they do
Good examples of this engine are the 13B and the 20B- the 90s Mazda (Eunos) Cosmo was the first vehicle with full touchscreens and dual climate control with primitive cell phone hook up and 4 rotors. These engines create near constant power and with correct maintenance are super fun! Please look up Street Ported FD RX-7 and fall down the rabbit hole with us.
Apex seals are the only thing that go bad, my rx8 had 140k miles before it went bad. That's a lot of miles considering I took it to the canyons and drifted it every week.

Actually there is a completely assembly video on my channel. I can't show absolutely everything in 60 seconds.
@@JCYTdon't pay attention to these people. They are internet mechanics
@@JCYTthen it didn’t take 60 seconds 😂
Your video are awesome@@JCYTi got rx8 rotary need rebuild ,is it the same as ur engine
I just subbed I got a new project car (RX8) after rebuilding my 370z and I'm really looking forward to this until I can get my dream car. @@JCYT
Such a compact and easy to assemble engine, I'm still sad that sports cars no longer have it at all :(
I so missing them. Sound of RX-7 is amazing.. even v12 from formula not sound that satisfying
It's music to our ears!
Yes! Rotory's sound so lovely❤️ I would want a 6rotor instead of an inline 6 in a BMW!

Phenomenal piece of engineering. Rotary engines are wonderful 🔥❤️

So easy to build and tune. BRAPS for life
What you need:
Motor, Combustion chamber, doritos
Congratulations you have made a rotary engine
hahaha don't forget lots of oil !
More like “how to build a rotary engine in 60 seconds if the rotors are already completely assembled and the video is sped up” 😂
If you wanted to I have a full 13b assembly video on my channel 👍
This has got to be a world record

The baddest engine ❤

You guys are really fast a whole engine in 60 seconds 😂
It's like putting together a PBJ sandwich mmmmmm I missed it so bad with every fiber of my body 🤤
Currently going down the rotary rabbit hole . I want a 4 rotor in my future for a certain build .
We'd all love a 4 rotor. I hope they become cheaper in the future
Did this twice in my early twenties and only did it right the first time lol
I had a R 100 R X2 an 3 so very awesome…an a whole lotta fun.
Next up: How to blow up a rotary engine in 60 seconds
They don’t actually blow up though it’s like impossible
So the loud bang followed by no compression is not a thing?
@@timblackburne77 No, It’s not, there’s nothing to go bang😂
@pollux2825 please, tell that to my friend whos rx3 did exactly that. He will be happy
Why did they not put the dowels between the spark plugs?

Amazing, and here’s me struggling to change to the spare when I get a puncture.
Very cool. Im on my 3rd RX8 and just blew rhe engine. Im going to need to rebuild or swap it.
Good excuse for upgrades!
I remember putting in those apex seal’s while installing a rotary and mine was a much longer process than that.??
A lot of the prep you won't see in this timelapse. But feel free to check out the full video on my channel! ua-cam.com/video/dKeNPXIF0vs/v-deo.html
Show 👍🏻👊🏻
Looks like the crankshaft was floating at the end. I don't know if that is a problem or not, but they'll find out.
Hey mate
Not a problem at this stage of the assembly. Once the front stack is assembled, the washers will sandwich the crank into place
Great job 😅
Esse motorzinho não tem velas de engiinicao?
In the not so distant future as I would like, I have to rebuild my RX8 S2 , hopefully it will be as easy as the video ajajajaj
such a small engine giving so much power what could go wrong, literally🙂
Yeah they’re so simple lot less failure points
Sheer that bolt off!
Super motours 😀

Nice
Is it normal to have that much play in the crank???
I need to bring ya mine
Can you keep adding rotors on one after another or is not how it works?
it does work but you need a matching eccentric shaft and plates to suit.
the rotor housing and rotors i'm pretty sure are the same for like a 20b and 26b but i could be wrong. That's just how it works in my head hahaa
But i'm sure it's not as simple as it seems.

cool and you need to build it again next month
Usually they don’t need to be rebuilt until 130k-170k miles with proper maintenance and staying on top of oil changes.

I’ve built a piston engine by myself before, what’s a rotary like in comparison?

are these guys giants ? why does that 2 rotor look so small 💀
The rotary is actually a pretty small engine with it only weighing around 210 lbs whereas other sports car engines weigh 400+ lbs it's incredible how such a small engine can make the amount of horsepower they do
I’m still pissed that the EPA basically killed these motors for mass production
Коленвал ходит вперед назад по горизонтали
It is normal that shaft is moving in and out ?
Hi mate sorry for the slow response
Yes completely normal at this stage of the assembly.
The end float is set when the front stack is installed
i was thinking the same. so technically not fully assembled.
How much will it cost to build?
This was approx 13k AUD in 2022
Rotaries are like onions, they have layers
This is so cool!
👌🏼👌🏼❤
Is that still called a piston so this would be 2 piston engine ? Or is it called rotors and this is 2 rotor engine??
Correct it is the 2 rotor engine!
@@JCYT thank you.
👍
Simpler than a 4 stroke piston engine. Machine failure is also very rare for rotary engines
Hebat sekali
Is that in syd
Yes this is at Raceonly in Sydney
What! You guys forgot to install the connecting rods! Thats what happens when you rush
Hahaha
Forgot to install the head gasket too
Why not add a few more rotors? Inclined 6 rotary. Give me da long boi.
because it'd become exorbantly expensive haha

Add more rotors… moreeeeww
rip front stack :[
You gon put that in a go kart?🤣
No, in a car which will be faster than a huge stupid v8
Trust me itll be something cooler than a hellcat, as that’s probably your only benchmark for a car
@@allnightempire9444 trust me, i met a lot of cars ;)
OP you should look at how insanely powerful these engines are at like 1/3Rd the weight, they dominate
Those who know the technology of this engine, please write
It's a Wankel engine, used on some Mazda cars.
The alternative of Piston engine,
But sadly it need to repair everytine

That's a fine motor in terms of performance but unfortunately very bad in terms of wear!

how to build a fuel guzzler in 60 seconds*
You don't but a yacht to worry about the gas
Is it me or every vehicle in the US are basically a gas guzzler from my country standard
I got about 18 mpg in my rx8, that's pretty standard for a sports car
sure, rotaries might like a little extra fuel, but that doesn't make them an invalid choice for a vehicle engine.
I get worse gas mileage in my stock evo 🤣
