[@cd5sircoupe]

First of all, 4 rotors are sick, swapping a c8? You do your thing man. Second, I scrolled forever till someone said it was an LT2 not an LS. Lastly, I saw the 4 rotor rx7 at sema 2016, didn't know your channel at the time but it was impressive regardless. Can't wait to see it done.

[@angel-xo6hb]

You should definitely do the new corvette 4 rotor rear enigne. Would be the coolest thing around

[@theonecalledgr]

I check in on this channel every 6 months to see the 4 rotor. Its been years, and I dont think I've ever heard anything other than "Oh yea its not done were waiting". See yall in another 6 months.

[@cbarr0288]

Finish your 1st Vette and your 3 rotor before going through with your crazy 2020 4-rotor Vette

[@ZayedGR]

yep

[@xaytana]

Except the C8 would be a fast car to build, that would also bring a lot of publicity, especially if it goes to LS Fest and races, and would probably end up as another SEMA car. All it would take is some work to adapt the four rotor to the transmission and motor mounts, upgraded cooling, and some ECU work. It'd take less work than any of the other vehicles have required, as it'd just be a simple swap, and not a long list of additional things to do; no framework, no bodywork, etc. I'm not saying it'd be super simple, but it may be the simplest of all current and potential projects, especially if an already built and tested four rotor is used. The ECU would more than likely be the largest pain in the ass to deal with in this build. If it comes down to finishing a couple cars or swapping a C8, the C8 is the better business decision.

[@cbarr0288]

Xander Vice you’re absolutely out of your mind if you think that’s the easiest . But I agree it could be a SEMA build & attention grabber **in the future** once he’s completed the builds he already started. I never said it was a bad idea , but doing it right now is.

[@alexanderswander8176]

Christian Barrett finally someone who agrees with me, how in the hell would he be able to do a c8 4 rotor when he hasn’t even finished the rx7 yet. He doesn’t have the money to do that. And what about all of the people on patreon who’ve invested thousands of dollars to rob waiting for him to finally complete the rx7. Buying the new corvette would be like sticking up the middle finger to all those people who have already waited years for this. I’m gonna stop there.

[@xaytana]

@@cbarr0288 you clearly didn't read the entire comment I made, maybe try doing that next time. I also never said 'easiest,' I said simplest and fastest, because it would be, for the reasons I stated. It'd require less overall work compared to the other projects, and it'd be a money maker. It's the better business decision to make, for obvious reasons. Not taking an early opportunity would be a bad idea, and would just be a loss of money; the C8 is the newest thing, swapping it early would create publicity, taking it to big car shows, like LS Fest, and later SEMA, would keep that publicity going, and it's pretty obvious at this point that various brands are willing to do partnerships and sponsorships on these rotary projects. Doing it as soon as possible gets it done and out of the way, since it would be a fast swap and a simple project compared to the other projects. Claiming that doing this project now, before completing other projects, is a bad idea really shows that you don't know how to make business decisions. All the projects will eventually be completed, but the C8, right now, will be the money maker that then funds the other, and future, projects. In the same way the AWD four rotor RX-7 gained a lot of publicity a few years ago, the same way the C5 gained publicity and became the most recent money maker; the C8 is the next best business opportunity, probably even more than swapping a Supra would be.

[@trevorjaster4072]

Why not a 2 smaller turbos? Realy interested i just feel like the lag and power spike of a turbo that big would not make sense and not be ideal

Finally, You should save your money instead of buying another corvette and invest it into the RX7

[@TheKnightOperator]

Hey just an fyi on cooling, the coolant speed should be high flow, if so, there should be ALMOST no drop in temperature from the inlet to the outlet. jest saying. actually experienced. as temperature creeps up, all temperature in the coolant creeps up together. imagine it not as different section of coolant, but 1 coolant as a whole heating unanimously, better way to visualize it. All tho coolant should cycle through the block and radiator, once every 2-4 seconds in a loop.

[@cyrtroy]

I think the 2020 vette will never run with your track record 😁 finish one before before you start another rob c'mon 😂

[@TheKnightOperator]

Also make sure to get your eccentric shafts blueprinted. formula7's shaft was SEVERAL degrees off each lobe (from perfect 90 degrees) making the whole motor a timing nightmare, causing bad tunes, it was obviously assuming the essentric was trued, it wasn't.

[@MattStoodles]
