Building the perfect 650 HP 13B for my FD RX7 

I’m so glad you kept the rotary in there! That color combo is 👌🤌 keep up the good work!

I’ve heard there is exactly one million seals/gaskets in each rotary engine can you please count them all and confirm 😂😂😂

The rotary is a blessing and a curse. Your dedication to make things work is astonishing

The coating on the rotor housing looks wonderful! It's giving me a bit of M45A1 vibes!

Seeing the turbo drop in next to the 13b and seeing how close in size it is was hilarious, awesome content as always!!

DAMN! THOSE GLASSES THOUGH!! Put some tape in the middle of those to make it propper 🤣✌🤙

That engine put together and installed along with the alternating color scheme you picked it absolutely flawless with the white... holy shit, I am still just taking it all in at the moment and super stoked to see you super stoked lol 🔥🤘🙌 🔥

Dude the bronze is killin it.

Love the black/bronze looks 🔥🔥

I'm so glad she's coming together so well. Glad you went with the bronze on the turbo. It looks gangster. She's gonna be a little killer. Way to go, brother. 💯

Just in awe with this build. So sick.

The black and bronze looks fantastic dude

Listening to you talk about the keyway under the oil pump gear reminded me I tore down an FRS engine for a recall a couple weeks ago and whoever was in it previously just slammed the crank bolt on without lining up said keyway. Customer was lucky they had oil pressure at al

This is looking so good, love that colour scheme for the engine, mint🤌

Bro….. an FD is my DREAM CAR….!!! Watching you working on this one fuels mer😂😂😂 Brap brap brap brap brap ❤

Nice build. Can’t wait to see her running brap brap!

One of my favorite builds on RU-vid.

Awesome editing!

Let’s goooo this thing is gonna be amazing. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you find 600+hp wayyy to rowdy for an RX-7 haha it’s gonna be insane

that powder color looks soooo good.

Cerakote makes a heat rejection coating that is black and would work well to tie your intercooler into the rest of the theme rather than being polished and help the efficiency of the intercooler. The car looks great you are doing one hell of a job!

I'm really loving all the rotary stuff. Everything looks really well done. Cannot wait to see the final product!

Good video Tanner. Seeing that freshly powder coated turbo hit the ground broke my heart. Looks like it didn't fair too bad though, little ding in it.

Such a nice clean build. Really coming together.

When putting in the apex seals loose, there is a little trick if you're not gluing the end pieces together. I put the apex seals in the rotor without the springs to make sure they're lined up with the bottom corner seal. Then I slide the small spring down and then push in the long spring. The long spring pushes the little spring into position. This is the way Rotary Aviation does it. I don't like gluing them because if you glue them wrong, they may take to long to separate and you'll have weak compression on your 1st start-up. Edit: On the big flywheel nut. Breaker bar with 3-1/2' pipe. Put 100lbs on weight on the end to hit your 350lbs torque.

there's something so satisfying about watching a rotary come together. I swear i'm tempted to get an RX8 just to rebuild the damn thing lol

Nice work looking forward to seeing it rip.

Awesome stuff man. She seems to be coming together quick. Love the pacing of the videos, you seem to be hitting that sweet spot. Refreshing to see a Sema build that isn't all about the last-minute rush to make it to Sema on time.

That thang is so clean, rotary is alien technology, no?! Lol so rad Tanner, good stuff!

Happy 4th, Tanner 🥳. Thanks for the holiday rotary video. Fascinating to watch rebuild

That bronze and black on white was definitely the play hot damnnnn

that things gunna need to see all the boost to do 650-700whp! Cant wait to see!

Man, it has been a while since i've seen you build the rotary. Had no idea what kind of witchcraft was being put together up until you got to the flywheel/clutch. Cant wait to see 650 whp, im interested to see how well it does!

That thing is a masterpiece

Looks absolutely incredible! Great job man! Beautiful!

so clean :D we appreciate u G

650hp rx7, now that's living the dream my guy👍🏽

Oh yeah engine time

Looks sooo dope 😍 Sweet work dude, let's gooo!

Someone said you have a 2024 rx7 and that’s all I think about when I see your videos 😂

That color combo 😍 dope my dude 👌!

The trans and diff will blow up..... T56 and 8.8" diff FTW !!!!!!!

Happy 4th man! Love the progress!

Having been a subaru person myself for a while and i as well recently picked up an rx7 this build is super fun to watch. I've seen a few other people like to run the engine hoist from the side when installing these motors. not sure what the benefits are but figured i would mention it.

Oh man how I miss my old FD! I have been watching this build like a hawk and you're doing an amazing job and all the detail you're putting into it is top notch! I was happy to see you posted a video and I watched after I blew up the neighborhood! Have you decided on seats yet or waiting to figure out the car's long term use?

Damn good looking 👌 sheesh its so clean.

good job man 👍💪

This video makes me want to get an RX7 and I DO NOT NEED another money pit in my life 🙅🏽‍♂️🙅🏽‍♂️

There was a reason why this engine didn't make it... oof Lov the work ma man! Happy 4th!

Man I know you have seen my comments before and I know a lot of your followers care about eg swap been here since the beginning of it and had a “built” 16’ Wrx that is the build of your life keep with that fuck this content shit I know I care about that car more then almost most just keep perfecting bro I wanna keep watching

It was yesterday when I realized you use griz sound clips in some of your videos

650whp will be really stretching it on those tiny turblown studs generally need dowels or 1/2in studs around that power range or above, but I’ve been enjoying your content you put a lot of effort and passion into your builds!

I guess i can forgive you for not going with purple. The bronze be hitting

Click on play, See a rotary cylinder, Directly liked the video 👍

I literally yelled out “noooo” when you didn’t use an alignment tool just because I’m scared the next video will say “ make sure you use an alignment tool”😢😂

13b is dope but 22b is fire Tanner 🔥🔥🔥. Can we make that happen on the next build sir???

I would have done single piece dowels at that power level!

Didn't know you needed a torque wrench that went to 500 plus ft lbs I have one in corner of my garage

Amazing video as always!! I am eager to see it run and drive!! I think black would be better if you choose to color the tubes. That is a fast motor install!! I hope my 12a goes that smoothly when the time comes 😅

Happy fourth!

Those rotaries are definitely designed with alien technology.

Tanner I thought bronze black and white...mmmm ..but mate it looks unreal..pops hard..awesome.e

Let’s goooooo bro

Where did you find the mazda manual? Going to be tearing apart and rebuilding an FC 13b soon.

🤌🏼🤌🏼 beautiful

😎👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy 4th man

Hey teacher, nice job bros one thing put a blancket or some thing u gonna scrash the paint 😅😅

Hey did u get rid of the old fan relay wiring? Im currently doing a single turbo build w haltech 1500, and im cleaning up my harness , should i remove the fan wiring , i wont need it right?

ALWAYS follow torque specs.

Whats your goal date for tune and drive

Where did you get the reference manuals?

Hello yes question! Could you please make a video on how to e-tune? For example… I’m currently tuning my 11 sti with my Cobb AP and I got that whole recording down, but my tuner keeps saying I’m not doing it right and I can’t find a video on how to do it correctly. The instructions he sent are as follows… “When you reach a safe place, do one full throttle pull starting from 2000 rpms in 3rd gear and stop at 6800 rpms and make the shift into 4th but do not keep pulling. “ so what I’ve been doing was just going into 3rd and pressing the pedal to the floor till the engine red lines then I shift. Please help!

Is that greddy v-mount or custom?

and i thought assembling an EJ was complicated 😂

If you ever get stuck on certain things ask Rob dahm he will help you just thought I should put it out there

Bro bro build a three rotor 💙💙😈😈

Hey what’s going to happen with the STI? I can’t wait to see the 2jz in that car

Why not have both OMP and premix?

😎👍🏻👍🏻

its so fucking pretty dude

You skipped past the 3 hours of sanding down the side seals for clearances.

Ohh rotary so simple 3 moving parts. 😅 But man... Seals for seals for hope to god none of this leaks.. I love my rotaries I do. I like my subarus. But ever work on a inline 4?just..so simple

should of stuck an ej in there

first

Is it even a real engine build if you don't have some choice words for it sometimes? 😆

Blood helps secure a nice seal 👍🏻
