650 HP Monster JDM RX-7 | Waking the Wilderness 

Nothing more natural than that!

Brandon G except a peripheral ported four rotar.

...they're all boosted though...

Anyone know if this stuff is twin turbo or single turbo?

@@akenohimejima1126 For an FD to make 650hp they are usually doing it on a single turbo

true

+S-chassis Very true, I just subscribed

that is SUCH AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THIS CHANNEL IS CRAZY! I BARELY KNOW ANY CHANNELS THAT WERE THIS PRO WHEN THEY STARTED! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I agree bro

That car is toast now. Go on ig @15stingray

Ha ha i noticed that too and went to the comments to see if anyone else did......did you also notice the color matched piece of tape covering a hole just to the left of the wing bracket lol

can you do a 240sx next?

You have some serious filming and editing skills! Great video!

yes! that is one sick FD for sure. that car is set up properly, perfect amount of pull and everything. win!

+Roads Untraveled lets see his friend's soarer when its ready

+Lachlan1662 Motor is assembled he needs to rebuild the trans and get a push pull conversion kit for his clutch then to put it all back in the car and a tune. Maybe by the summer time his car will be ready

abracing199 I totally agree

Chopped!! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

Maaaaaaaadddddddddd

+Sour Dsul thanks!

+BTroxTV Thanks! Grayson and I started with music videos (our most popular has 920,000 views) and now we're doing this! It's a lot of fun. - Marcus

+Roads Untraveled It shows. You really know what you're doing with filming. Are you using both a steady cam and slider dolly for the shots around the car?

+BTroxTV Yepp, we use both.

+Roads Untraveled Can you link the music video?

ls junk? you mean that ls that weights as little as v6 makes more power then rotary ever will the one that is more reliable and cheaper?

+nawzy202 considering a 2 rotor can make more power than a v8? weighs 3x less? has like a quarter of the displacement? that's what I though

+Strength OD which v8 though? which rotary makes more power we are talking about extreme power here let me see 2000hp rotary and il show u 2500hp ls. Rotary is a failed engine its a two stroke design burns more oil then my semi truck

+nawzy202 k show me your 2500 hp ls that isn't even practical can't run on regular fuel(isopropyl probably) and needs 3million sprays of nos, not only that but every 2 runs it needs a new build because the stress that is endures makes no more sense than semi truck uphill racing. Show me a practical ls v8 that can out do a practical rotary. O

+Strength OD you kidding right practical rotary? there is no such think even stock its a 100k milage engine if you lucky. how much do u know about rotary and the problems it has? it burns more fuel ten ls engine per liter. its more expensive to rebuilt the power output is weak how about difference is temperatures on the rotary sides resulting in poor sealing and low compression. take 650hp practical not only will ls make those power easy it will last a lot longer and be cheaper to build.

+moostang09 Thanks for the feedback man!

its about to be parted out

Brook Taylor-Richards what do you mean

RotaryKidVideos I'm parting out the car lol.

Brook Taylor-Richards oh okay

rx7boy had to sign a court order to not drive it for 3 years and want to pay off debt and it also has a vehicle inspection notice on it. Which makes it not road legal. And it currently has 5000km on it as it's been parked for the last 7 months in a government seizure yard.

Funny how you write "done" like a tuned car owned by a car guy could be "done". :D

Tac Junior I know. They're never done..

www.rx7club.com is by far the best forum ever

Rotary engines are really simple to pick up actually... I guarantee you'd get it if you tried. BUT they have terrible gas mileage no joke -__-

Leave it stock and you'll be fine. Trust me. Modify the shit out of it and expect problems, 'cause you asked for it!

LSs are not cheaper i can say that lol If you're picking one from a junkyard okay but it's not that cheap to buy it brand new

+Sofair the FB/SA22 are pretty cheap, the FD's are 10-20k

+Sofair They are cheap in Europe. Especially in the uk. Go look on Pistonheads!

+The Real Santa Claus Yeah, sadly FDs are

+Justinus van Linden That's true, but pretty much all of them are RHD, which isn't very practical in mainland Europe

+Sofair - Mainland Europe as opposed to?

Nope. 650 HP = 550 WHP

so 650 at the crank?

lol bud, every OEM used that trick, BHP is different from WHP

This kid

I still would have clicked the video even if it was only 550 hp....

Paused to look at that too. Maybe it's some sort of cork-gasket to stop leaks into the trunk. I just cut some custom shapes out of black rubber for that purpose for my MX-5.

same at 1:32 under the wing

Another one lol. Im all for rotaries but go read about this bedore you start chatting shit on here.

Abhir Malhotra um the car was engineered around the rotary engine, by placing another engine of course you offset the original engineered design of the cars center of gravity, weight distribution and various other things, its not to the exaggerated point you may have taken it as, but enough to disrupt the design in which the RX7 was originally made. Maybe you should learn more about the physics of a car and what effects it rather than simply relying on what you feel or think is better. its cool man i was just poking fun at the LS1 swappers but of course we get dudes like you who take a literal serious notion on a comment like mine :)

+Katsu Wolf actually the ls1 doesnt cause all the many problems you might think it would. Everybody thinks that.

Abhir Malhotra it disrupts its original engineered balance. any modification will effect a vehicle in some way or another, its not a problem, I never said it was. I simply stated it creates an unbalance, the LS1 is a massive engine compared to the rotary. it is heavier than the rotary. this is a disruption and imbalance of the original design. do you have the years of experienc and credentials like the engineers behind the FDs design? no, while yes engine swapping works. it doesnt mean its perfectly balanced. or perfectly tuned. as cars are designed around a one specific engine that fits its purpose.

+Katsu Wolf what you are saying is absolutely right. A car is designed for an engine and changing that will disrupt balance. However with the ls swaps the imbalance is so less that its no problem at all. And yes the rotary is lighter provided its NA. With a turbocharger and all associated plimbing the weight difference is probably single digits. So its never a problem and not enough the change the car feels driving through a canyon. Isnt that what matters? Technically however you are absolutely right. You are right if ones follow the book. Peace. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks!

+Plantbased David Ⓥ thank you mate!

It sounded so familiar to me but I just didn't have a name haha xD Also thanks mate!

Thank you!

Check the channel again! You must've missed our feature on 6 NSX's :p

+Orlando Mendoza Our temperature here is much colder than some places which is a huge bonus for making serious power

+Brook Taylor-Richards that is true!

maaaaaad

CHOPPED!

Its a trend from japan in the 90's in drifting culture. Im sorry if my spelling is bad im not from the us

+Chinaman Champ If you hate is your problem, but dont lie.

its a question. If it is really reliable I would buy one.

is not as reliable as a "normal" engine, but if you keep it with good oil it will run pretty hard for quite a lot of time, obviously way more than just some 5000 miles, maybe you should look for a local owner and check for comments in rx forums.

+Chinaman Champ 120,000 miles on my 13b rew before i had to swap out my apex seals, total cost for a rebuild $1,200. The engines are better then piston engines, there are less then 10 moving parts in the engine which means less to break. Keep in mind the rotary originally is an airplane engine so it's only natural that it's reliable. Only those who don't know anything about Automobiles claim the rotary is unreliable. those are usually the same idiots who high rev a non high rev engined vehicle and expect it not to shoot a rod, which the rotary never do because no rods. The car was designed for racing first, economy second.

+Numinous A lot of people that aren't as nerdy about cars only know #'s like the Hellcat's 707hp, Corvette's 650hp, or a Porsche 911 that has 500hp. This RX7 has 650hp, plain and simple. I'm sorry you find crank hp figures annoying!

Roads Untraveled What you call nerdy others call honest. And apparently you don't know too much about car culture. The only major group that discuss bhp (i.e., crankshaft horsepower) is auto manufacturers, LOL. Engine builders do too, obviously, but that's because they hook up the engines they build to engine dynos, not chassis dynos. Any respectable tuner never talks about bhp. Power at the crank is irrelevant to performance enthusiasts. It's what you put down to the ground that matters. Number inflation, pure and simple. And even the 540+ was smoke and mirrors because he kept talking about it being on a 500whp tune throughout the vid. Call a duck a duck, simple as that. It MADE 540+. It is MAKING 500whp. One day he HOPES TO MAKE 650whp.

Rich Samuelson I'll just call a liar a liar. Or, to give the benefit of the doubt, semantics semantics. But let's be clear: there was NO 650whp car in this vid, period. As someone who has tuned Mazdas, I can't stand number inflators.

Well your point in your last comments were how little people talk about HP at the crank. In my experience people talk about whatever they like. Either one of us cannot say exactly how folk behave everywhere in the world. But yeah, I agree with the click bait figures..

Rich Samuelson Agreed. And that's my point. It's a form of click bait, leaving the number-inflation "issue" that's prevalent in car culture aside.

Roughly 650 HP at the crank which = 546 whp that it was recently dynoed at. In the video it's at 500whp. I said all of this in the video.

+Eli George Stop changing it? Seems like you couldn't pay attention and understand.

+DutchFlamingWheelz it looks way better in person

+Drake's Vlogs & Shenanigans i bet ! haha

Lol nice joke!, you should become a comedian

Rotary engines don't blow.. they're made to be revved high and hard. The rotor heads will wear out after 60,000 miles, which even for an average daily driver is 6 years away..

+Shona I put 18,000 km on one of my motors in less than a year lol

+Brook Taylor-Richards Which is around 11,000 miles. The average mileage per annum for a day driver is 10k - 12k miles. You're not special princess.

+Shona It was about 8 months of driving the car. and was just saying for driving a car that is built you dont see many driving that much.

It's only 50hp off what it was making in this video. Why bitch about it?

+Tommy With 540 WHP, 650 is a pretty good estimate of what the engine puts out before drivetrain losses. It is a number that can be used to compare to the hp numbers that manufacturers put out.

+PacificCoastAuto hey my boy Derek watches roads untravelled too?!

+PacificCoastAuto I understand but 650hp was never mentioned by the owner or recorded on the dyno tests. No big deal, just saying Roads Untravelled should put the actual numbers not a 'pretty good estimate' to attract viewers. Still an amazing car and great vid.

+Tommy pretty much all tuned cars are RU-vid are listed by their estimated crank hp rather than their recorded whp. This is nothing new.

+DannyH Hey! So basically there's two kinds of HP. HP measured once it reaches the ground, and HP at the crank in the engine, generally about 15% is lost through the drivetrain. So the new Challenger Hellcat has 707HP as Dodge advertises it, but if you were to put it on a dyno it would read somewhere around 600HP at the wheels. Same story here. This car has around 650HP at the crank, which equals out 546 HP at the wheels which is what the dyno graph read. Thanks for watching!

+Roads Untraveled I get that but putting a false number on the title is misleading just say the whp of the cars or in the title or specify that it's crank horsepower.

+DannyH We're just trying to appeal to the widest audience possible, and by putting "WHP" in the title, it will confuse a LOT of people who don't know what WHP is. Same if we put "650 HP (At the crank)" in the title, people will be just as confused. The car has 650HP as I just explained, no false numbers! Drive channel, Motor Trend, EVO, and a bunch of other channels do the same thing, using the HP metric that manufacturers use is just easier and everyone gets it.

Roads Untraveled why don’t u just put 546HP in the title. Problem solved...

+zum Personal preference i guess =)

the fd rx7 is gorgeous, I just hate that color

+JustKyzuuh i love it! matter of taste

+lelegume1635 for sure! it's his car, if he loves it then that's what matters! that green is definitely unique though!

I reckon you drive a Prius or some similar shit...

if you want to see the car in a more current state look up @99fd3s on instagram

unfortunately there wont be another video on my car. ended up getting to much heat from the cops with it so now im parting it out if you want to check out the final look of the car you can search my instagram 99fd3s possibly getting another fd soon
