400HP BIG TURBO Mazda RX7 Review! - Why the Rotary Still Isn't Dead! 

ThatDudeinBlue the rotary isn't dead because of all the Australian rotary company's

ThatDudeinBlue MORE 240SMURRFX VIDEOS DAVIDDDDDDDD! ! ! ! ! I hope you can deliver... i love your videos. Please dont ignore meeee

ThatDudeinBlue yes

ThatDudeinBlue Hey!! I saw that one out in Lebanon, TN for the Import Alliance meet! That is a bangin car and looks soo freakin clean😎

Also...

Rob Dahm I wanna see that

Rob Dahm at least David won’t damage your hood 😄

Rob Dahm I want to see this happen

DAVID MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Make this happen @thatdudeinblue !!!!

@MDS stfu you'll never see how beautiful this car is until you drive it

Your humble opinion is based on fact. I have an FD3 94 sitting outside and I can not look at it enough................

maxxjett films yea I wish more modern cars were like this. I like the fact that David had said it's very hard to mount his camera on the rx7 because of its smooth styling. I don't really prefer the hard lines like the new civic type r

Sarah -n- Tuned lol they already gave them up years ago

yeah that shit been dead

You're a bit late

So what's the 2020 RX-Vision concept that was unveiled earlier this year about?

most likely wont be a rotary, or at least not the same type of rotary like it was with this car.

Don't get me wrong, I love me a LS swap.. especially in pre coyote mustangs.. but don't think about putting one in anything that starts with Rotary eXperimental..

Fr3ShPRiNC3 go to Australia they love the rotary

edgar mendoza I literally have contemplated moving b.c of their car scene. Rotaries and RBs for days$sssssssss

@MDS its a shame you cant please everybody lmao....but im all about saving the earth but god I love the rx7 FD so much lol

@MDS there are not enough of them to count. don't worry about it.

@@antskrt107 humans are in jeopardy, not earth. you need to wake up > try some Mag Bitter Truth channel and help save "us"!

So will slicctopfyeah

That's right haha

miss it dude

Marcus Mar treat it like a dirt bike it’s pretty straight forward and learn what it needs. The issue is cooling and fueling They were under fueled for years and had people who didn’t understand them

Rotaries don't "burn" oil. They inject it prior to each start for lubrication. Takes about a quart a week.

@@commandlion8667 if your rotary is using a quart a week you've got SERIOUS problems! I change my oil every 3000kms and I barely need to add any oil to it between oil changes.

@@A234921 nope, that’s pretty normal. I’ve had 2 RX7s, been a forum member, was in clubs and it’s not at all abnormal.

@@A234921 Also, I drove quite a bit.

OpK 140 on my and no issues, people just need to do regular maintenance and keep a bottle off oil with then at all time 😅

OpK yah my RX8 has 150k original motor and no rebuilds. I always have a QT of 20w50 oil and bottle of premix. Still going strong ! 💪🏼

OpK n also u only drive it to ur mail box n to church Sunday which is next to ur house

RB25luvGT35R But what if i dont go to church lol. Will not deny driving it to get the mail.

sleepybird09 Having to do Maitenance on a rotary is never typical lol

st421D maybe because he called out RU-vid on their bullshit.

Joe Urdak why not both?

Thanks for letting me know!

No real rotary guy has ever used that term.

@@GlassTopRX7 I have and i love rotarys

Alvin Ameyaw Hell Yeah man! FBs are bad ass, keep it rotary for sure!

fb and fc are my favorite! look so great with 80s styling

Corey Hough oh man I could NEVER swap it, people keep telling me to LS 🙄 I'm over here like "can you lay down behind my car plz..."

Alvin Ameyaw well I heard Mazda can make a new Rotary engine and they still want too.. they just don't got the funds for development yet to actually put it into the production line and research so it remains on the back burner.. but it definitely is possible as of today!

Jordan Price yea, I saw an article last month that they will ACTUALLY do it this time, because they have more support, it's sad because random people has "perfected" their rotaries to an extent, I think if they adjust some internal shapes they can do it. Also they make unbreakable Apex seals so it's possible bro! If they do that'll be the first car I buy new 😎

I also heard randomly once that the FD was pulled from the line up in 1996 when Ford bought 33% of Mazda stock. Aside from that, looking at the sales figures over 1993, 94, 95, you'd see lower sales overall and then to a big drop. In 1995 only 500 units were sold. The R26B in the 787B is different than the other because it uses two thick intermediate housings like the 20B. PPRE and other engine manufactures use two thin intermediate ones from a 13B that require machine work to fit a stationary gear. The 787B probably used the larger 13G Racing 3rotor bearings I would guess too. The new shop built 4 rotors are nice since they're shorter and lighter (the thick cast iron housings weight a bit). Also, to chime in the street port does not give a rotary its distinct brap brap sound. Bridgeports, j-ports, semi peripheral ports/ full peripheral ports make it have the brap brap sound.

TheHRookie ^ yes! Couldn’t have said it better. The brass start at Bridgeport and above! Have you seen formulaseven’s rx-7? I believe he used a ppre block and had a custom manifold made that is identical to the one from the 787b so that’s why his sounds extremely close to it!

TheHRookie the FD had no issue selling in the rest of the world. Japan has it until 2002 and they revived probably the best FD from production (spirit-r)

TheHRookie You can expect to start hearing the loping idle with a large street port, step up from that would be a half bridge, then the full bridge. The engine in the video has a mild street port and at times has a loping idle.

TheNuke95, Yeah I've heard formulaseven's car! Sounds pretty wild for a street car lol.. I also really liked his old 3 rotor as well. Both sound so good. Yeah I know Japan had the FD till 2002. Just saying for us in the states, the sales numbers were low. Europe wasn't selling them so hot either. I didn't really ever look at the figures for Australia and Japan over the production years. I know Australia received some special editions. Adding to what you said, I've wondered if the people who were interested in the car didn't have the cash, and the people who did have the cash debated what other cool cars they could drop that money on. Corey Hough, Yeah, I suppose if you do have a large street port you'll get some overlap, and it will start to. Of the typical street ports I feel like its not near as distinctive. I don't really go around searching/listening to street ports though either lol. I'm probably biased. I want to build my FD into an N/A car, so I don't really search for street porting info I guess.

daniel toral Same here man, I loved my FB, sure it was 12A and slow but such a fun car, and I dailied it with almost no issues.

Ty U. Yeah man my was 1994 street ported single turbo TO4z done right it's just sound like this one.. such a unique sound get you addict to

man you aren't alone I'm still crying about my 83 rx7 tbh but I kept her and i'm doing a lot to make money so I can finally build her to what I want

Ty U. I still daily drove my 1982 rx7 for about 2 and a half years with no problems, still runs perfect but i daily my work truck now

The Insane Biker If I could thumbs up this comment 20 times I would. Lol
