I don't think josh should replace you, he should get his own mini series though
I will subscribe him
*maxi series 🤔
If he does .. Please link me in
After watching this im be Exhausted.
Well, he can not fit in Alex's shoes.
I love how you show this project as a real project, with all the problems and frustration..much better than some series where they make it look unrealistically easy
I love these guys at rotary revs. Top dudes!
Yeah this is one of my favorite series on this channel because of those dudes.
Alex can worship those Northern gods
Agreed!.
I wish I was based in the UK, and could afford to keep a car like this...
panzerveps why would u wana be based in uk? 😂
10:50 Sabotaged by Mitsubishi!! XD
Well done OMG 😱
You expect Mazda to make everything by themselves?
Well at least now they are not sold To Renault like Mitsu haha
YOU SEEN IT TOO
They are cheaper from the Mitsubishi dealer as well. No rotary tax.
Just team-up already. You guys have awesome chemistry. Car Throttle ARE YOU LISTENING.
So true tho
Still think it needs a 4 rotor
Let's give Rob Dahm a call and see if these guys collab this would be a mental sleeper build
@@markusandrejeff5708 and it would never get done
It needs a cummins
Just shove a 787b engine in there.
Everything needs a 4 rotor but that doesnt make it an easy job lol
I can feel alex's enthusiasm through my monitor
When seeing this series, there is one question I have to ask:
Why didn't you wash the car?
Sleeper effect.
are they going to do a cost breakdown once finished with the build ? I hope so, i'm curious how much all this cost... :D
Doubt it, somehow, knowing how expensive rotary work is.
Complete engine rebuild is at least 3000pound
Still not terrible compared to most other LS or v8 engine rebuilds. Hell even 2j's
@@creverett9 a LS or near any piston build is a easy DIY for someone who wants to try.
A rotary even more so a rensis like in the RX8 you likely will try many many times before getting a usable build. Even more so to get longevity.
Just the basic rotor seals are hundreds of dollars like 400 us just for good apex seals not including corner seals and side seals.
Also usually just as seen a few episodes ago a lot of main componants need replaced.
You can save tons going DIY on piston builds. Rotary not so much. If you dont want to open shop for rebuilds on a rotary dont bother learning unless you got money or patients.
@@creverett9 Pretty terrible when you consider it needs doing every 100k miles or so. However as someone who's been looking at buying a rx8 for a while it would be very interesting to know how much it costs to repair one to a high standard.
Should’ve went to Harry’s
Hector running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines
Yeah...exhaust popping...in a few days your engine will aswell hahaha
we found the guy who has never touched a rotary in his life
@@EnzedDev it was a joke calm your ass down buddy..
@@EnzedDev I mean its a great engine, but it should also last a couple of months too
@floccinaucinihilipilification Calm down dude. When you are the first one to bring up "little dicks" you probably have the smallest of them all...
The keyboard warriors are so strong! I quiver in fear.
Why does the guy at rolling roads always seem like he hates you 😂😂😂
He s afaid of the camera.
nah its just a persona charlie puts on for the camera , think its quite funny myself
I get the impression he probably hates everyone
He doesn't like humans.
he dosnt like saabs either , leaves the traction control *ON* AND GIVES YOU A POWER RUN 10-15% DOWN ON ACTUAL BHP
Wowwowowow that fuel pump replacement is so convenient on RX-8's
I believe it's the same on some bmws like the e46
It is but if its coupe good luck taking the rear seats out :)
because the designers knew it would fail multiple times :)
Same set up on my 2004 VW Polo and that's only a 1.2 3-cylinder.
I had to replace it last year since it decided to start making loud humming noises.
Matty Man that’s a Japanese car for you.
We need more Joshua. He just seems like a cool guy, explains things so well, and deserves his own dedicated channel.
dammm thoooss flammeeess
Oh yeah yeah...
Those flames
May as well flex that rotary inefficiency!
Goodbye cats (catalytic converter) rest in peace forever
Too bad the shit rotary makes at best 200hp at the flywheel. He should have just LS swapped the thing and have real torque and power
Snatched the 500th Like! 👍
Awesome noise, the flames ! and a diesel Golf behind waiting to get past.....
The editing, camera work, and combination of music and edits have been fantastic this series. Good job dudeskis.
Those RX7s in the background looked sick would have liked to have seen a little snippet of them
9:34 Let’s cut there for a while

Rx8 r3 front bumper please
You can't, the front light arent the same
@@colinmcblock7 yep wont fit!
R3 front end swap pls
r3's look amazing! the rear lights and front really lifts the looks of the car.
Company in Russia (lions kit) make a r3 bumper for the s1 rx8
Those solenoids are real buggers! I replaced mine and wow. The power increase was incredible. I recommend disconnecting the VFAD too
4:58 Alex's laugh
Hanging out for these episodes every week!

Oh and the S2 didn’t just wear out and blow up ,he blew it up on a course nice to know have a great weekend!!!!
bro you should add like a twin turbo and a supercharger and a hybrid system
it upgrades reliability by like +15
twin charge is a bitch to go around
My question is why does the ford Galaxy have a fan club?
hero13400 0 they’ve had a fan club ever since ford slapped a 428 under the hood
Im not an expert but from what I've heard the RX-8 motors do not like boost and you can't really make good power with them. If you want boost you need a 13-b from an RX-7
Dylan ah we got the Galaxie Which was the full size sedan I believe, damn I didn’t even know the galaxy existed
Alex, you nailed it with this series. I was getting quite sceptical with the beemer and 'track time to beat' series, but how wrong can a man be :). Cracking job, mate.
Cheers man!
Best series yet... come on the rotary bomb!!
I love this channel... you literally NEVER point directly towards the featured videos at the end of the video.
10:55 well there's your problem right there. It's got a Mitsubishi logo on it.
That little solenoid you replaced will fix the issue without a shadow of a doubt. That torque dip area is boxed in absolutely precisely between the activation of the secondary and the auxiliary ports. Essentially what you have going on there is two of your 6 ports being closed off, so you're at a little more than 2/3 of your final power. I'd expect to see well over 220 at the next dyno run!
Paint correction, headlightss restore and gt wing is what it need
bought a lemon unfortunately, i had one, tuned it up a little, made 212whp, went for ages perfectly, never changed a thing. sometimes your lucky, sometimes your not, keep at it they are really rewarding when set up right.
When they work Rotarys are legends
incredibly honourable of the Rotary Revs guys to be OK with you posting this vid. I understand totally that the failure wasnt not their fault, but knowing the car modding business scene, many would have been well against the suggestion. Props to them. Am really enjoying this series, hope the next vid shows spot-on power n torque curves and more progress for Felix
Anyone else surprised the fuel tank access cover wasn't a triangle?
I die laugh hahahaaahaa
Bermuda shit ! they are Iluminati! damn i knew it
:D
my 2017 zx10r makes almost exactly the same horsepower to the wheel mine was 192 to the wheel god i love those rotary engines the sound is insane and the pops and bangs son!!!!
I'm not sure if the amount of people you'll scare off with that video will be greater than the amount of business you'll bring back to Rotary Revs.
did you watch the whole video????...
@@OG-97 did you?
@@VoloKinProject evidently I did which is why I'm asking. How did you get your reasoning for your first comment?
VoloKin Project English ? Do you speak it
@@OG-97 I'm surprised you don't understand but after watching the video would you ever buy an RX-8?
You say it’s a failure, but it makes for very entertaining channel!
I know the weather can be pretty avg in the UK, but can you please give that thing abit of a polish =(
MrLincoln87 it’s the grit on the roads this time of year as well to be honest, I wish they’d stop gritting so much and introduce winter tyre laws instead.
The grit they use in this country is evil, it’s the reason we get so much rust in the uk, that’s why my MX5 hibernates for the winter
We use salt in Canada and that ruins cars
Connor Grosse Films I’m not sure exactly what is used here but it must have a high salt content, everyone just calls it grit, because that what it sounds like as it hits your car as it comes out of the spreader at about 1 billion mph. 🙄🙄
It's salt over here too, but in horrendous volumes. My car is white everytime I drive 100-200km when it's slightly wet (snowing/raining). If it doesn't rain or snow for days, the motorways are completely white from all the salt.
In my opinion they use way too much of it.
1:19 I thought that was a Mazdaspeed RX7 on the lift for a second. My favourite RX7 kit by far. Although upon examination it seems to be a GT-C bumper. Still very nice.
How can the host's voice sound funny and so serious AT THE SAME TIME?
I put the HKS Hi-Power single exit on my 2005 RX-8. Talk about an Eargasm. Then I made it insanely loud by putting a decat and non-resonated straight pipe and may I just say it sounds like Godzilla's deep and throaty screeching roar!
Wow, just the edits and you guys awesome personality was enough for me to insta sub.
When u gave the car the finger. That's exactly how I feel about mine. Every time I fix something. Something else goes wrong and that's exactly how I act. Glad it's not just me. 🤣😂
Long live the rotary engine
Well, at least 6 months or so anyway.
The best thing: If you turn on the subtitles/captions every time the flames pop out of the exhaust they say: "Applause" Couldn't agree more.
Last 5 sec of video made me laugh so hard... 😂» "josh play me out" out of tune noises 😂😂😂
Deliver in Batley on the street behind and there was a very loud black RX8 now i know why lol.
4:58 Frieza laugh hohohoho

Car throttle, how id love Felix my long time punching bag 55 plate rx8 has just given up the go fed up with me refusing to change gear till 9k Every time in towns ,city centres ,pulling off from lights and my favourite sideways out of junctions,I promise to treat Felix the same

Fun fact about bridgeported renesis’ and lightened Renesis rotors. Porting literally does next to nothing for power, the engine is already maxed out. There is plenty of info to support this, but also, there is plenty of false info being thrown around that says otherwise.
As for lightened Renesis rotors, while lightening will allow for quicker revs, they are very unbalanced. This will lead to excessive bearing wear and possibly housing and iron damage. The problem is that Renesis rotors do not have enough material to both lighten AND balance, so you need to pick and choose what you actually want. I sent my Rx8 rotors to CLR motorsports who explains all of this in this video: ua-cam.com/video/HahComhZR9c/v-deo.html
This may have been done in the video already, but when dynoing an RX-8 the ABS system needs to be disabled. More info here: www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/diy-how-dyno-rx8-132083/
*Also clean your SSV while the intake is off if it wasn’t done already
Nate Rist funny that because my bridged renesis makes 215whp and is definitely quicker than stock, I have the lightened and balanced rotating assembly to and have no problems as of yet, Rotary revs also tuned and built my engine and couldn’t be happier with it
MegaBigrob123 the rotary is complete dog turd pal, buy an Evo or something that works.
L
Paul Sykes you’ve obviously never owned an evo cause they are horribly unreliable 😂
No it doesn’t, uncalibrated or altered dyno results are not at all uncommon, porting WILL NOT make any considerable power over stock in a Renesis period. If you knew anything about the Renesis you’d know that. But enjoy your placebo I guess
these vids at rotary revs have been some of the best vids. that guy woud make a brilliant presenter 😂
So what was the final horsepower on the dyno after you fixed the problem?
Next week mate, next week... 😂
As always. 😂
What is this 'At the Flywheel' stuff on a rolling road, Hub Dyno is the number.
@@wobblysauce iirc, you have to let the dyno slow down just on engine braking and calcs are done to get the flywheel hp
181 Hp
@@jonnoMoto @the Flywheel... just sounds like internet numbers and not real world use. settings Internet +20%
Omg the way he is jumping like a child that got a new toy love it!
Maybe you could a a spiral supercharger.
a massive turbo or nothing.
With an engine that actually produces some power?
Rotaries are amazing. And they stay amazing provided you warm them up, and you don't fuck with them.
He can't replace you because he can't fit in a MX-5
love it.... Josh and the guys there are all so cool... not into ring dingas myself but love this series
It would be fun to do a BMW E39 project.
Nah... Turbo E36 is where it's at.
M52 cast iron engine with a good sized turbo, that would be nice. ^^
Seen really cool supercharged ones
M20 straight six e30
You guys have to get another rotary just to come back to rotary revs!! Amazing
This is what happens when you buy a 650 quid used car.. Everything needs replacement. You cannot be expecting perfection from a 650 quid ruined car. If you bought a more decent used RX-8 it would be up and running like a champ. This also applies for every car, not just a rotary one.. Maintenance is A to Z in every car of every type and class and this poor RX-8 was owned in the past, from someone that did not care at all for it. I have mine 12,5 years now and through the right maintenance over the years I had no problem with it. Everything runs 100%, it is an awesome car to drive and I love it.
A 650 quid car is doomed from the beggining to have issues, no matter the badge on the hood..
KbaltRX but they make more videos and more money by buying a shit car that needs a lot of work
Noone could replace you Alex...You are in our hearts!!!
But we love Josh
We need to see Felix the RX8 vs Phil the V6 MX5 come on Alex
Bro... that camera work and music when the exhaust was being done... WOW!!!
get mark II rear lights pls
Charlie from southern rolling roads is a legend
You need to get some new rims
Wheels*
He did
and new paint color, lowered, new headlights, literally eveythting
And lights
No, he needs to drive that piece of shite into a lake and do a proper car.
I owned a RX8, AE05XEU, for 6 months until forced to sell. Best time ever. I know it is still going strong somewhere, mots done and insured.😔
How is that failure “part of having a rotary”? It’s a failed component completely unrelated to it being a rotary.
Extreme heat
u should be a presenter on top gear, that would actually make me start watching it again :p
love your videos 👍
miss Phil's turbo though :p
DORITO POWER!!!!!!
Hey this is for the guys that who are indeed thinking getting a rotary I’ll tell you tip. When your ready to get your rotary, ask the dealer if you could test run it. If he isn’t confident tell him to ride with you. Go to an express way where there’s space to test the rotary. Do a big pull up then pull over and turn the car off. If it takes a long time to turn on it means the apex seals are bad if it turns quick the rotary is healthy. Hopefully this is helpful for beginners.
Aaa wanna see ovver twoo 'undred 'orse powwer ! ! lol hahaha
Loved my RX8, but like them I constantly had little parts break here & there.
Wats it make with the replacement solenoid?
After spending 2008 through 2012 employed at a Mazda dealership, I can honestly say that RX-8s are wonderful if you enjoy working on your car more than driving it.
also is that mustang in the back rotary powered?
Doubt it
Looks like it has a red Whipple supercharger on it
james4v Correct 😉 A stage 2 at that
It's just a Mustang through a crowd, ignore it, it's a casual meeting 👌

What about Phil???
Phil died.

The chemistry between you two are unbelivable
>buys a shitty rx8

>doesnt improve airflow, only bridgeports
>expects more power
Yes it is very possible.
This is probably the reason for the poor placement of the rotary engine , not only here but for a large number of RX models , and even NSU .
First , it is learned that the engine is small , compact , develops tremendous power , develops a very high speed of rotation , even less polluted if the speed is higher .......... so then the car overfalls so that , of course , the machine bursts ! .
The pops.. the flames.. geez what a car
How ironic is the fact that he is wearing a shirt with a *piston* on it.
As soon as I saw the graph and heard it on the Dyno, the “crossover”, I figured it was that valve. Lol I did not know that these came with that though. Interesting.
Supercharge Or turbo charge it
They arent looking to spend horrific amounts of money on their builds...
Emin GanGster BS yeah but money can buy you happiness in the form of a 450hp rotary

Look at the problems they are having with the heap of shite now let alone throwing a turbo onto it.
this channel is nice cause there is more than one episode on the same car nice
Still not told us how much the rebuild cost
Down here in Oregon, USA it's 3500 USD
@@Mitch3343 That's pretty good for a full rebuild, in Ireland I'd imagine it's double that price just because yano, fuck you 🙄
I'm watching this with my cat next to me. When the car started banging, he ran like hell haha. Rotary power I guess.
330ci is still the better budget sport car, tho.
Anything is a better budget sport car. It's cheap to get, because it's goddamn expensive to keep and to fix.
@@miskatonic6210 They are cheap in the US, its sub $5k for a recently rebuilt one. I paid under $4k for mine, and its doing great! I've had to change coil packs and spark plugs (and tires, and brake pads, and oil obviously, and strangely 1 headlight and 1 running light), but otherwise rev it like you're a lunatic, and you won't really have much of an issue.
They seem to be much more reliable than many modern cars (mechanically speaking, there's not much to them, no timing chain, no overhead valves, basically a spinning triangle on a gear with an oil pump...). The thing about a rotary engine is, you can blow apex seals and as long as you don't shut it off, they will keep putting the power down (which is why they are sometimes used for aircraft). Even when both coil packs failed on 1 rotor, it still drove (I had it towed out of fear it was more serious, but I hooked up an OBD scanner and saw misfire on rotor 1, coupled with the fact it sounded like half my engine just stopped, pretty much meant coil pack or spark plug). I replaced both since I think the spark plugs were the original, and those being worn out cause coil packs to wear out fast too. That's been my only problem, so not bad. I know a lot more people with a lot more severe issues on new cars, and I bet none of those would survive my horrible shifting (if shifting is what you call that grinding sound I often make...), and I keep it pretty well pegged on the RPM (I don't think many cars would last running like a rotary can).
Its a special engine, you need to drive it different (just like a jet engine requires different things, or how electric cars needing completely different maintenance than a gasoline or diesel). So you just treat it differently, in the case of a rotary, its "drive it like a getaway vehicle", and it will last a long time.
It’s not a sports car, it’s a 2 door saloon.
Ive built amd mapped loads of rx8s with standard ports,they make 185 on an accurate dyno and that is about it.
Wait...does it have suicide doors?!??
Yes
All RX8s have rear suicide doors.
