Just remember to premix and not reve the nuts off it when cold, but I also know @Angel Motorsports will give you a set run in procedure just like they have @Cleetus
As an old guy (70) I enjoy watching the machining side of it as well as the 'end product', please consider leaving in a little more machining in your videos.
I agree its interesting to see. Do you have a rotary? Are have you? Just curious I don't know many 70 year olds who like the rotaries. Most think they were a failed experiment.
@@andrewbartleman9169 No I don't and never have, and I do think the production version was a good idea that wasn't done properly. What I like about what these guys do is to take these 'motors' and give them the "TLC" that they needed 'back then'. When I first learned about these guys was on the 'Cleetus McFarland" channel, then seeing that their Rotary engine was almost bullet proof, well that shows they know what they are doing.
23 years ago I did this on a S2 rx7 as a 10yo kid with nothing but hand tools. We nick named it the firebreather. Lasted about 3 days and all the seals went. Hahahha good times. Havnt touched a rotary since but always loved them. Seems like now days the tech has caught up and secrets solved. Maybe again one day!
Nice to see Mike getting more comfortable with the camera. You and John could easily just upload engine builds and dyno sessions and we will watch every time. I do think a rotary powered b series truck would be cool to see from you guys also! My boy had a Datsun 1200 roadster back in the day that we talked about putting a rotary in it but it never happened.
Man these videos are second to none. You guys are the only ones producing this type of content! it's awesome to see especially considering how long you've been floating around on other peoples channels!
Finally went back and watched build N battle, shit was awesome. I literally busted out laughing when Mike did the burnout and ran that 11.2 at 125. Best example of “driver mod” I’ve ever seen. Love yah too John no shade 😂
When you showed us that process on Cletus's "mystery machine", you left out the part of (balancing the rotor), you went right to balancing the assembly. Very cool either way nice job.
I learn something new about these rotary engines everytime I watch you n ya brotha. The insight is dope. Didn’t know so much went into building these motors. Great job
Glad you guys are getting exposure, first learned about you theough watching hert & hoonigan. Im sure yall are gonna start blowing up now that uoure messing with some well known people. Wish you guys nothing but the best you sure earned it
Its easy as tying your shoe laces for you Bois aint it?! Suprised you showed as much machining detail as you did (shhh suppose to b secrets!!) it was awesome to learn. Best of luck with it 🖒
Best way to keep a dying art from dying is to stop caring so much about “secrets” and showing people why we put so much effort into these cool sounding engines
@@angelmotorsports yeah its genuinally awesome. One of the specialists showing the world how to do things proper. My old man was always on me about keeping assembly tips quiet, but honestly i love boring my mates with the "how to's and why's", i help close friends make informed decisions or lead them to find the information they need, as you say it is a dying art for sure
I’m In absolute love with tour guys tiny little machine shop looks like my dream garage just enough stuff to be able to machine anything you could need so sick guys. Love manual mills and lathes really shows skills to make it work and that Cnc mill
With all this coverage and the upcoming event season I think you guys could have at least 200k subs by the end of the year. BTW BIGBOOSTs engine looks like a double stuffed oreo cookie. Angelmotorsports 2020 is going to be a good year.
You should go through the best elements to use from each series of 13B, for either an NA or Turbo build applications? eg. series 4 rotors, MSP E shaft...
Hermano usted ama lo que hace y al amar a los rotores ama a PUERTO RICO. Ni los japoneses pueden entender como unos Tainos como nosotros dimos en el clavo y sin martillo. La vena rotativa desde Puerto Rico para el mundo. Te felicito. Saludos desde Nebraska.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering how can you say that they aren't machinists? It may not be their full time job. But you cant say that there is isnt alot of precision work that goes into what they do. And thats not something your average mechanic can do.
@@Speedy_2nr how can I say that? the same way I can say it about myself... I built my own large CNC machine that could do work to that tolerance or better, but would I consider myself a machinist... hell no. Being a proper machinist is a very different kettle of fish to being able to do basic machine operations. Operating those cutters dry is something a proper machinist would never do in a million years, even I have a crude lubrication system setup for mine. The way they manually cut down the sides of the rotors is something a machinist would never do for a repeat job. Precision is about repeatability, the material taken off the sides was more of a best guess, yeah that looks about right measurement. The balancing was done without any proper indexing.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering yea dude, i understand what u mean, but whatever they're doing seems to be working for them. Im none the wiser. I just like to observe.
@@Speedy_2nr if they used flood cooling (cut while the job it is being flooded with coolant) the finish would be much smoother, not introduce the chance of rotor warpage, and the cutting tools would live a lot longer / stay sharper. I'm with you I enjoy seeing people modify stuff just for general knowledge, even though I would never do it because I don't even like rotaries, but I do love seeing people push design limits, especially with OEM parts. I enjoy watching videos like this that explain the changes and why.
excellent vid yet again and love the shop work, the satisfaction of seeing the machining done on the rotors is what makes metalworking such a pleasure when you get such a good result.
Hey guys, question? From watching your videos, obviously you do rotaries. And WELL. A fellow YT creator also a serious rotary enthusiast, I believe could use ya'lls help. Rob Dahm, is fortunate to have the capital to fund serious builds. Like his 4rotor. But he is really lacking in the rotary Knowledge department. This is where you guys come in. Sure would be some incredible content.
Nice work, I like when people are willing to show the machining processes that go into custom engines. Are you guys seeing any issues with the RX-8 rotors/apex seals in the FC/FD PP exhaust rotor housings (flex, warping, failures)? Unless I missed it, you are not modifying the apex seal slot for deeper 2mm FC/FD seals. I know they are still taller than the 3 piece seals so you would assume okay, just curious to see what your experience has been.

have you hollowed out a rotor from end to end at all 3 corners with 5mm full enclosed material to spare and replated before balancing for weight loss? I reckon theres 50 grams a corner in it I dont know what the over all effects of having a pocket of air would be or loss of material around the apex seals but i reckon theres some hidden rpms in it?
If you're going for a lighter rotor wouldnt it make sense to drill all the way though where you were lightening and balancing them at? If you hit a void it might be worth drilling maybe up to the maximum size you could then pressing a sleeve in to "fix" the casting error.
Weigh out "X" grams of shavings from the rotor lightening process, place the shavings into a graduated cylinder and you now know the dementions of "X" grams that need to be removed. You should be able to get real damn close on your balancing, with only working each side of the rotor one time.
Hello guys I can see that that’s an a clean job,I’m trying to learn something here, I see that alberto’s engine has to (cams or rotors) my question is is there any rotarory engine with more than 2 rotors (if it can be possible) or you can have as many as your crankshaft accepts? ,sorry if I didn’t elaborated a proper question ☺️✌🏻keep up the hard work 🏎
There are engines with more than 2 rotors, there are 2 rotors, 3 rotors, 4 rotors, 6 rotors, and technically a 12 rotor has been made. For the increasing number of rotors comes a different eccentric shaft that accepts the increasing number of rotors, along with the extra housings and irons to accommodate the added rotors
