    @carlsoto1747 Рік тому +702

    I'm sure you have a plan for this already; but if your electrical/software system can control throttle resolution/duty on the fly, you should add some code that monitors the driveline and will soften the throttle input when the car jerks slightly. With your suspension being so tight, the motion is being transferred through your foot on to the pedal, and it's causing a feedback loop. When you're under full-load it responds great though!!

    • @ICKY427
      @ICKY427 Рік тому +95

      Right. you could probably make a "normal" mode with slower throttle response to make slow driving more bearable.

      I'm pretty sure Rob knows already. He had the same issues when setting up the electronic throttle the first time, can't remember if it was the rotary vette maybe. Looks like it needs a bit more tweaking as you say.

    • @carlsoto1747
      @carlsoto1747 Рік тому +23

      @@T3ddyRuxp1n Yeah I'm familiar with his initial coding, but this more like after X number of parameters show a jerk event, the throttle input immediately softens the input so the driver can apply more pedal to feather it out, and then immediately return to normal once the parameters clear their thresholds. Essentially, you're keeping the same % of throttle and just changing the scaling factor of the input.

      @@carlsoto1747 not a bad thought, but this is overcomplicating it; all one needs to do is soften the e-throttle map itself so that small inputs yield less of an output. Nothing special needed, this is how factory ECU's control throttle output.

    Just be REALLY careful in Ontario. There's an old law on the books still from the "fast and furious" days. Street racing used to be INSANE in that area. So they passed a law where if you get caught street racing, police can literally send your car from the scene of an impound, straight to a crusher. They don't enforce it as much as they used to (im talking street race convoys 300 cars deep back in those days).but still. Just be really careful out there dude.

Granted I'm not going to this level but I do know I'm gonna have a big smile on my face when I make that first pull after I get a supercharger installed on my mustang. Rob has been one of the single biggest influences in my love and passion for car coming back to the forefront of my life. I went through a really rough patch where all I did was move from point a to point b in something that I hated. Rob has brought me back to where I was before that. He has honestly helped rebuild my passion for cars and he's never said a word to me. Rob if you read this I just want to say thank you, for being the person you are, and for documenting your experiences and sharing them with all of us along the way. You are truly an inspiration to me and many other. I can't wait to see that 2000hp number flash on the screen of a dyno. Your videos make me feel like I'm in the garage with you.

    I doubt this hasn't been said before, but easily one of my favorite parts about this build (Appearance-wise) is just how _stock_ it looks. Don't get me wrong, it's obviously not; anyone can see that. But I really love how you haven't bolted some crazy aggressive carbon wing or something like that on the car. You even kept the popups, and they're functional. It resembles a stock FD surprisingly well. Incredible attention to detail, and I'm so glad you've kept the beautiful silhouette of this car's original form intact, while also hiding one of the most insane drivetrains known to man beneath. I love this build.

    • @Tora1337
      @Tora1337 Рік тому +1

      Yesss! This! I agree. I mean, it certainly doesn't look stock, there's immediately something different about it, obviously, it's the aggressive, wide, cat-like stance, the extended nose, but not over-much, just enough, but the way he put it together so clean it really doesn't look much different than what you'd expect from a super or hyper car manufacturer. F'n Gorgeous. Can't be over-stated. And the little touches, Isaiah is an absolutely beast fabricator. Much respect. That exhaust management is over the damn top, especially as custom it is, with all the rotor shapes and such. And that sound. Oh that sound. So good.

He obviously prioritized function, but there's still obvious a vision with the form, and that was a vision true to the roots of the RX-7, and that's really why I love this build. It's wild, but it's not apparently wild. Very clean. It honestly carries a genuine hyper-car vibe. I think the stretch was less the all wheel drive, and more the 4 rotor though. Plus he completely redesigned the front and rear suspension utilizing the cantilever design, so there's that too. It's the only way this thing fits everything and stays low like it is.

      Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think I like how the widebody is shaped. In certain angles the shape off the car looks ‘off’ to me. Maybe that is because the intended design is to keep the stock look? Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of the car.

    Just watching and listening to it drive on the streets for 5min straight, not skipping a second of it, and being left with wanting more. And with me having adhd, that is quite the feat.
    I could probably watch an entire hour of it just driving around, it looks and sound so frikkin cool. And seeing Robs expression makes me happy. Thank you, keep doing cool stuff.

    This isn’t just a car, it’s part of you.
    Keep up the good work mate!
    Still think you put the steering wheel on the wrong side though, it’s going to make it a bit awkward when you ship it to Australia to give it to me, because I’m such a nice guy.

  • @JamesBalazs
    @JamesBalazs Рік тому +6

    Any plans for fresh air antilag using a TurboSmart ALV40 or even the electronic eALV40?
    From what I've seen they're insanely effective at keeping shaft speed all the way up (100k+), until revs drop below say 3k on a smaller engine, so off throttle in the powerband you're always spooled ready to go. Plus, contrary to popular belief they actually decrease EGTs when set up right due to cold (relative to the exhaust gas), compressed air from the turbo entering the exhaust. Just reduce bearing lifespan etc for obvious reasons.
    Great value for money and not something you see every day.
