7 Second RX7 - Turbo bigger than the motor! 

+alZiiHardstylez ya instead of those shitty chevy small blocks and the gay LS motors

+rannz8 those are the master engines

+OG Rocha not in imports

+rannz8 a select few , usually in the RWD ones

Lmfao ls motors aren't shitty . Far more reliable then a dam rotary and still this is cool just because it's still a rotary

nice one

Sidewayz ha ha ha ha suck in bird shit

Or small boys with kites . .

Haha

Lmfao

hahaha good one

is that a chassis on your turbo?

Lol nice

ill be honest I know how to fill up a car and drive it. I just love cars enough to watch this stuff, and be subscribed to this channel. it annoys me when I see arrogant comments like the ones youre talking about. just enjoy the fuckin video right?

I don't think even Wankle imagined this lol

MobiusPhantom7 thats a 13b pp by the sounds of it, no need for a ls swap there mate

Matt561 *Wankel

MobiusPhantom7 how does that thing get the turbo spooled???

Its more reliable (relatively), less turbo lag and easier to set up.

Piston engines are naturally less reliable. More durable, yes, but this is a drag car, it's not doing 1000 mile road trips, is it? Less lag... there's no lag worth mentioning in a modern setup, and the fraction of a second it takes to come on is probably a benefit. Gives the tyres time to breathe between shifts. Easier to set up? Depends how you look at it. Technically a crossplane V8 is impossible to 'set up' due to its natural incapability of firing in an even manner across the banks. The only thing I can think of is that at this moment in time, it's cheaper, slightly. But then, since when did anything that isn't boring and awful come cheap?

Foxtrot Oscar Rx-7's love blowing engines, much less engines in cars that run 7's. I meant they're easier to set up and build because more people know how to do it and there is a bigger market for parts for it.

RX7s never blow up engines. Owners who do not give them the level of care they need to keep them in tip top condition blow up the engines. If you're good, it's theoretically impossible to blow up an engine. Theoretically... Sure, you could go down the V8 route and everything is there for you, you just throw some cash around and you've got an 800hp engine, no problem.... but where's the fun in that. A 7 litre, 800hp engine is not impressive at all. A 300hp 1.3 is very impressive though, and an 800hp 1.3... now THAT is entertainment, and interesting to build! And once you DO know how to do it, it's a LOT easier, as the whole engine is just two triangles and a bent shaft.

Why? Cheaper, more reliable, less complicated and doesnt sound like a leafblower... Need more reasons?

...no. 7 snores...yawn.

No replacement for displacement has been an obsolete saying for years. Boost is a perfectly acceptable replacement for displacement.

Joseph Victors boost is displacement!!!!

Joseph Victors yeaaah but when you add boost, plus displacement, you shave 2 whole seconds of that 7.95. v8 drag cars kids, always ahead.

Joseph Victors I guess that's why this 7 second drag car can't be registered to drive on public roads while Drag Week has low 6 second drag cars running V8's that drive over 1000 miles on public roads in a week. Besides, displacement can handle more torque than boost could ever hope to.

After 6 seconds of boost lag..

+losi8ightyew FIFY 6min** turb lag

+NoOneImportant556 hahaha

+Emil Madsen damm straight! lol

Haha

The turbo have more displacement than the engine XD

With 2 curvy triangles

They're obviously Dominican by the flags on the car & Dominicans dont talk like that.

Jeffrey Vallejos Espinoza its called joking.. humor. lol.

i like this guy

SUPERTIGERG3 Its called racism, but...

Sam Signorino no, i was stereotyping... racism woudla been, "wow, stupid mexicans,go back to mexico with you're fat turbos." im not racist, just a humorous person speaking freely as I'm ok to do on the internet.

omg i was thinking that!! XD

it's a friggin rotary thats how they sound

Antonio Philip thats how a ported rotary sounds.

***** it's still a rotary :P

+aaronzack14 *calls advanced auto -hi, I'm gonna need 16 gallons of royal purple...

Marty McFly Royal Purple is shit. Use Idemetsu :)

+teamvenom09 Bruh, Castrol all the way

+nihal dhillon Idemitsu pre-mix oil in your FUEL (essentially it's a 2-stroke motor) is the oil way to go! Castrol "motor" oil is great, but if you are not running the oil metering pump (OMP) you always switch to a full synthetic in the motor to better protect the apex seals and create a better overall combustion seal of protection as it does not burn! It is proven that even Mobil 1 15w-50 & Idemitsu 20w-50 full-synthetics in the rotary motor provide the best wear and sealing characteristics. I run Castrol in everything else I own except my 457hp 13B. Castrol has always made a great product. Mobil 1 15w-50 full synthetic also has added ZDDP (zinc) which is a huge help. It is listed in red on the back of the 5qt jug available at Walmart for a whole $28. Never run synthetic if you are running the stock oil metering pump or you are going to ruin your motor as synthetic oil does NOT burn. Conventional oil will burn while lubricating the seals therefore not gum up inside your housings...

Rotaries are a different kind of beast lol. From the factory it is highly recommended to regularly hit red line. It keeps oil flowing in all the right places and prevents carbon build up.

I'd be more worried about the flame that it popped then the fumes!

Same guys own the white FC also. Team KC Rotary

And the oil/fuel mist spraying all over the side of the car

Nick Kautz There's no oil or raw fuel coming out of that exhaust. Just smoke and a bit of flame. This RX7 is on alcohol, no liquid akly is making it that far. Plus, Like I said, the other car belongs to the same guys, I highly doubt they are bothered by it. I know these guys.

paul rogers He knew what he was getting into

And their end is proof that the majority of the world is pussy soft to handle rotaries

Not sure of that.. Felix Wankel joined NSDAP (Nazis) aged 20. Hitler made the Autobahn. So god is a Nazi? Fun fact: Wankel never had a driving license

+FSXgta Hah true. Sounds a bit meaner and deeper than my Kawasaki 85cc :D

I always say that

+FSXgta Rotaries are a two cycle four stroke, they have a true 4 cycle (combustion event) but unlike a piston 4 cycle engine the Wankel rotary only needs one crank shaft revolution to complete its cycle, just like a two stroke piston engine.

+RonbyBobinski its more of an all stroke, theres no cooldown in the rotary combustion cycle.

+RonbyBobinski it has 3 combustions per revolution... so its a 3 stroke

more like brap brap brap brap :)

more like crap crap crap crap crap ;)

Alexander Young sorry to hear you own a Prius

Haha, nah I'm fine with tuner cars, but I'm not really into this kind of engine sound

Yeah lol it takes it takes a love for the engine to really enjoy the sound

+dave runner Damn its fast.

This weed wacker will kick the shit out of you got

LOL it isn't a 4 cylinder, so it is acceptable.

HEY CRAPPER MOUTH?What the fuck do you have?

Runnningonempty whacha mean i like the rx7 thoo

Id be amazed if someone with a car like that had a Chihuahua

I have to agree realy 2 stroke like sound .

Bobilator Realitywall I agree a vvvveeeerrry pissed off 2-stroke! haha

Acutally alot of older snowmobiles have wankel engines just like this....

because it's only a little 1.3 liter engine pumping out 800 hp

It is.

Yeah from what I've seen, Most Dominicans aren't into drag racing!

+Isaiah Strange but true Dominicans are pretty much into rotaries though.

Im domincan and i love cars in general and I personally will have a fc soon

I'm Dominican and I've had two 94 FD3S RX7s both modified. Sold one and then heavily modified the one I kept. I am going to put a 3 rotor engine on it soon. I also have a modified BMW M6. When it comes to motorcycles I raced Supermoto and at the same time owned a modified 07 Yamaha R1. Sold the bikes and kept my RX7 and M6 until I get another bike. I do time attacks and track days along with my Puerto Rican friends. We all race.

Isn't it crazy how turbos work?

I feel like if he put in the work, he could make sick side exhaust vents for it

It's a good way to get the pipe out of the car,

Yeah and the waste gate screamer out the bonnet.

If you wanna see come sick mazdas search pac performance

F.W Spencer pac is fast... But not faster than major league rx8 or loquito killer rx8

I don't think you fully understand that concept. There is still no replacement for displacement. A turbo does not get included in the displacement size of the engine.

I don't think you understand the saying fully. Obviously the turbo isn't included as displacement, that makes no sense. The turbo is the replacement for displacement, people who use that saying believe that big V8's rule and putting a turbo on a small engine makes no difference. This video proves that wrong.

People use that saying because it's true. Example: a 3L engine can make more power than a 1.3L engine everything else being equal. A supercharger of any kind is only a replacement for displacement to a point (and usually when the other engine doesn't have a supercharger, funny enough). Ultimately though, there is no replacement for displacement. I don't care how much boost and power you can make with a supercharged engine, you can always build a NA engine big enough to have more power.

Bullshit! Please show me an engine that is N/A that can produce over 1500-2000 hp

While I'm not sure what "1500-2000hp" has to do with anything, seems like you brought that up for no reason but Sonny's "EXTREME PRO STOCK 892 CU. IN." comes to mind. It makes 2035HP at 8100rpm and 1415 lb/ft of torque at 6500rpm NA. I'm sure you can find other examples by other makers of NA engines over at, about, or over 2000HP. Sonny even make a truly monstrous 1000ci, 16.39 liter engine which they say is over 2150HP though $/HP I'm not sure it's as good a buy as others relativity speaking (or, of course, what you could build on your own if you have the skill, time, and money. We are talking engines that cost as much as a decent new Corvette.) So, as I said, ultimately there is no replacement for displacement when you can simply build a bigger engine. And we haven't even touched colossal stanonary or marine engines, some of those you can literally fit a sbc inside ONE cylinder!

It's a wankle. Lots of power in small package but horid mpg

Lol we got a Chevy guy over here who has never heard of a rotary. Better hit up that Google pal

david leatherhof ok it's a wankle it's a rotary...tell me than how the hell a 1.3 engine rotary wankle whatever can be fast as hell like that.. magic? funkn MAZDA! now i have ls3 vette for example if my ls3 was 1.3.. what is that a one piston maybe 2?..my question is.. with the same turbo can i get the 7s ? someone explain for me please how a small engine like that can be that fast i know and i believe the chevy engine not slow with some work with ls3 i beat any porsche gt2 & turbo S since day 1 with a big smile in my face always ...just i'm wondering if i was wasting my time with big ci engines for nothing if i can be that fast with rotary 1.3 engine?

First off it doesn't use Pistons Second it doesn't go back and forth like the piston it just spins in one direction If your really interested there plenty of videos on RU-vid that can help you grasp just how amazing this engine is. If not I can write a hole fuckin essay about that engine if you really want

david leatherhof thanks for the reply well all i can say is... the rotary engine is pure race engine for real if you are a gearhead this is the right choice...this engine is real quick!

Yup I was like a fellow Dominican

Yeah, I know the feeling. Seeing unorthadox things run is fun though. Guy had a fully loaded late 90s Buick Lesabre supercharged and it was basically a street car. Ran the quarter in 11 seconds with the AC on.

That's the exhaust pipe. They pipe it straight from the manifold to the side of the car for maximum airflow. That turbo is putting so much air into the motor that it wouldn't make max power if it couldn't get rid of it all.

OJ Simpson ohh i get it now,., thanks bro appreciate it :)

OJ Simpson that and the motor would probably rocket its self out the hood.

rotary motors dont rocket out of a hood like a regular piston engine would.

Robert Roberts Yea... it will shoot back and kill anyone behind it :>

show me a 7 second car that looks streetable.

***** Look up the channel Sloppy Mechanics and look up Mark's notch, should be a relatively recent video of him running 7's in the quarter in a fox body. LS powered, stock truck heads stock LS1 intake stock throttle body lol.

yamahondarider I just did, and this rx7 looks WAY nicer than that.

Well no shit, thats the difference between spending $100,000 on your 7 second car (RX7) or $20,000 on building a 7 second car (Mustang)

The Mustang is great. No frills just fast as fuck and you can drive it to get pump gas and coffee, then to the track, run 7's, drive it home.

Episode is called Import This

wangel rotary's for ya ;)

it is a 3.9 if you know your shit

+Amer Muratovic how is it a 3.9

it has 3 rotary chambers of 1.3l capacity each

+Amer Muratovic its a 1.3l in all you dumbass

With 1.3 liters haha I love it

What about the top fuel big block making 8000 hp? It is a fact to say no rotary engine is anywhere near those numbers.
