The RX-8 is ALIVE! I feel bad for nuking his motor 

The second seems more believable

It was not an apology. Rob said he would never! 😂

If they had the end of an AK or pistol just tipping in and out if frame it would have made it perfect

I think that was supposed to be the funny part, Leo.

I'm thinking the latter...

I always have trouble with the nut behind the wheel

@@griffinsells2611 same, it keeps coming loose

When I had my RX-8, I was looking to get a 20b and do a bridge port on top of adding a 50 mil turbo. Would have been epic but life happened and I had to go a different direction.

the chassis is smashed up trash, not worth an expensive engine, just put a 13b and a small turbo on it and be done.

One better. 3 rotor Renesis.

Please 🙏🏻

Mick farrall in Western Australia has built a 20bt rx8. Absolutley bonkers little rig. Has no patience for tyres

The rating is gonna be significantly lower than the melting point

@@tippyc2 them things were vulcanized 🤣

Yeah I don't think many people understand the "impact" part of "impact wrench". 😂

so what you're saying is he needs to buy a big drill ?

@@2404charles well, my grandpa has a old drill, a bad bitch of a unit enough torque runin through that gear box to start a big block, enough to rip your fucking arms off too.

@@2404charles Exactly, a drill that could basically rip your arms off...like an old craftsman industrial 🤣

@@djaydeved yup

"Modern" = better! Just like Lizzo is better than Elton John!

@@mikescherrer4923 The chassis and layout is actually arguably better than most other rotaries that have ever come out, the FD is the only comparable one honestly, and even then there are people who prefer the handling of the RX8. The main thing the FD has going for it is the power and the looks, not necessarily the handling.

@@jamtea573 Didn't Rob said he likes more the handling on the RX8 than the others in the same video he blew it? So yeah it's one step forward and another one backward regarding the motor

It's 100% a better chassis. The suspension geometry on RX7's is world class

@@jamtea573 You are right, I was just talking shit lol. I think one issue is the 3rd door adds a lot of weight but yeah it definitely benefits from a decade of suspension and chassis engineering, as well material technology. The FD RX7 was a bubble era car, though, and had more value jammed into it comparatively. They're both cool.

That’s what I’ve been thinking the whole time. I thought if rob blew it up, rob gives him a Dahmified engine

@@spazzologist Oem ++

I thought Rob was going to send Isaiah a text.

I think the phone was just him shopping for more rotaries while apologizing.

😂😂

I hope you'll feel better soon

@@matgreggorz2904 thank you. I really appreciate that

@@edwincolon8631 no problem man

lol

Clp!

@@aaronhall7740 we use hoppes no.9 gun bore cleaner. Worked amazing

you’re more blind than they are he actually blew it up during the previous rebuild, not on the track in general, it’s always the people who don’t have any idea what they’re doing that make the rotary engine look bad. It’s not the engine; Renesis or otherwise. it’s well documented that a properly built NA Renesis will sing out 265-270 bhp, the general issue is that by and large very few people do it properly. No exception here. The only part they got right is that the Renesis costs more, but the drivability you get for the output can’t be matched by the earlier engines. This a proper Renesis engine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uGuLPFYJgSk.html .

@@nobodyspecial5026 Rewatch timestamp 28:01-28:06 and 28:27-28:30. Isiah's comments at 28:01 about side plates and hybrid Rensis motors shows he's aware of what others have done. the takeaway is that they are aware of what the motor is capable of. Rob's comments at 28:27 offer a perfectly reasonable explanation why they won't be perusing the Renesis any more. At the end of the day Dahm racing is a business and they need to do what makes financial sense. And if you are unfamiliar with hybrid renesis engines: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cnNt_meR12Q.html While you are on that channel, check out videos of their Formula Drift RX8 runs like the one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4rt33XOKJrg.html

@@splynncryth Not to mention theres already a slew of ongoing projects, adding a Renesis build ontop of the 4rotor, the indy car, the three rotor, etc is alot to juggle.

@@nobodyspecial5026 Can you tell me how he blew it up during the previous rebuild. I'm not sure and would like to not make the same mistake. thanks

@@danielkruger4305 most likely him not replacing the oil control rings. and just reusing everything...

flooring the gas pedal stops fuel injection to help clear a flood.

@@ValentineC137 Yeah, that’s why I did it.

R3 series 2 starters are best.

@@sofakingdom3076 mine was an 05. Before they started giving them the better starter 😔

@@txpocks1047 it's not like the other one was any good, they had to upgrade it again 😅

This reminded me of him too

It’s called “unboxing the 6 rotor eshaft” or something like that, it’s a pretty old livestream. It’s heat treated so it’s ready to get turboed :)

It was from oil starving from gunning it high RPM around a long corner on the track. Not the engines fault necessarily.

@@dooby1445 no it wasn't. The rx8 engine handles corners fine. They fucked up the rebuild. Either the resused oil control rings were installed backwards or were bad.

Nah...he's going to put a small-block Chevy in there, just to annoy Rob.

My FC is gonna be twincharged

@@claudedottin1312 awesome :D I've owned and driven rotaries since the mid 90s. Always wanted a supercharger for more low end, but it seems the twin scroll turbos almost eliminate that need ... but I'd still want to take on the project some day. Hope it goes as smooth as a project like that can go! Have a blast for the rest of us when done, share a video if you like! :D
