The best Christmas gift anyone could have asked for, an hour and 26 mins of Rob Dahm and rotary goodness. Thank you kind sir

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

So many things in this episode made me go hnnnng.

[@carsonbreezy431]

Even though it’s staying fairly “stock” this thing is going to absolutely rip, and be a really fun car as well as a part of history, well done rob

[@andrew_6180]

Rob, have you ever thought about getting a 3D printer to make some of the test/one-off brackets and little pieces you sometimes need? There are materials that are fairly easy to use and are plenty strong for brackets. Great work all around though, love the channel and I'm learning a lot

[@GENcELL2014]

Unless he wants to take the deep dive and learning curve or buying a high quality printer he's better off ordering 3d prints or cnc machining.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@GENcELL2014 Yeah I agree, especially because he's got a cnc (or two?) and a milling machine. 3D definitely can do shapes that would be impossible with a mill or CNC but the use cases are less important for automotive. Also the time required is an order of magnitude longer

[@GENcELL2014]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 exactly, totally spot on.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@GENcELL2014 Knowing Rob he probably has a 3d printer at home and already knows how to use them but doesn't see the point for automotive

[@acters124]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 yeah, I understand the awesome use of 3d printing is only for testing or prototyping because of tolerances not as tight as other methods. Professional shops are at least capable of 3d printing with more precision than home brewers.

[@capnthepeafarmer]

Just use an open lug nut, Rob! 949 racing makes a great 7075 forged lug nut. I use those on the track and have been very pleased.

[@zomgz932]

many tracks actually require open ended nuts so they can see thread engagement to pass tech

[@michaelvarady8349]

Facepalm!

[@Silverhks]

Yes, this. There are plenty of good open ended wheel nuts. In any material you can think of but you're better off with steel if it's not a dedicated track rat. Also by cutting the end off you have lost any anti-crossthreading techniques ARP engineered in.

[@capnthepeafarmer]

@@Silverhks true, the popular mod for RX7 guys is to use GM studs so they stick out like 1/4" from an open nut. I cut mine down too, but added a rounded pilot.

[@scottdangerfield3227]

I was thinking the same thing, It was definitely a cringe moment watching him Sawzall the studs off. But, in the end it works so whatever

[@Monty-Gue]

Awesome video, looove the long ones. You and Isiah need matching single rotor mini bikes to get around for track days or drag days. Let everyone know the Dahminator is around even out of the car :D

[@henrylima6974]

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

You have to de-rate the amperage capacity of any cable based on how well it can get ventilation and how hot the operating environment (like under a car hood, especially in the summer, in the sun). Refer to the manufacturer's documentation on the wire or cable and error on the side of caution. Going too small and the wire isn't going to last as long before the insulation starts to deteriorate. For automotive you also want to use cable and wires designed for that application so they can handle oil, road grime, and other fluids without breaking down. It also helps with not cracking in cold climates or even just going over a mountain pass on a cold night. What was used here should work fine, but checking the data sheets first is always the way to go and not rely on a rule of thumb. At least, that's what the guy running the industrial electrician program I graduated from taught me and nothing I have set up or repaired since has had issues, other than one tube radio, but that ended up being bad tubes and rotted out resistors. Keeping a steady voltage across the power system is a very good idea, especially for electronically controlled engines. Computers and sensors don't like low voltage levels and will start doing weird things.

[@handsolo6241]

It is also advisable to derate even further for how many current carrying conductors are bound together. 1 heated conductor heats the other. Important in conduits and especially important in bound conductors. Science is cool.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

@@handsolo6241 There are charts for that, so it is pretty easy to figure it out.

[@Creesic]

43:20 Rob, just wanna say there's two types of surge. The "dose" type you're talking about isn't what the anti-surge housings are for and it's not as destructive as you may think. Sure it's not good for longevity, but fuck it sounds cool. What you're thinking of is surge under load (making boost) where the impeller "loses grip" on the air. It's where the compressor is hitting the surge line on the turbo map. Here's a video demonstration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHTNZ4amrNFkebc TLDR: huge difference between closed (no load) and open (load) throttle compressor surge.

[@slideglow]

Yeah like to raise this so he can see Also the compressor doesn’t stall/stop during off-load flutter, it’s just the sound of the compressor chopping the air up. I’ve had a 20 year old Garrett run 17psi with no blow off valve for the 3 years I’ve owned it, 0 damage at this point.

[@singlecams]

There is a wheelspacer company in fremont ca they make custom spacers you can get hubcentric inner to outer for all kinds of sizes their name is "Customadeonly spacers" . Also on the end of your lugnuts if it looks like they are capped you can cut the cap off and it will expose the end as an open lug. there are no threads in the end

[@Murgledoo]

Hearing how much Rob paid for these console trim pieces makes me feel better about what first gen Impreza console parts go for.

[@spazzologist]

Yea the guys doing part-outs are making more than the factory who built the fuckin things.. OEM price: $69.75 vs some random second hand shit in decent condition: 100 obo

That magnetic sensor needs to be mounted from the Diff, mounting off the body will not allow for movement of the drivetrain.

[@tommylyeah]

🤔Good point.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Which sensor?

[@austinclifford4511]

Pretty sure it has IRS which means the driveline won't be moving much. Diff and trans are mounted to the body so they won't be moving *that* much.

[@RNCFabrication]

Seeing you use the same water pump again makes me happy. I bought one for my hot rod build with a 460 big block. I love that it runs after shutdown to stop heat soak. I use mine in burnout boxes and just slow full throttle situations. It has no problem keeping everything happy. I know if u trusted the pump I could.

Hey Rob the RX-7 is getting more and more amazing but don't forget about your safety bro, I think it's time for you to get a HANS device. Remember that most of the time safety comes first.

[@danielmellott5076]

You should do a master cylinder brace it really helps under heavy breaking to prevent the firewall from flexing

[@darkenruso]

Amazing, one thing about the fuel setup from Isaia at 10:30 on the video is that instead of using plastic wraps you can shape and L adapter from allow with 4 fittings. This adapter is really common in IT to organize UTP Cat 5-6, Rob nows what im talkin about if he had a datacenter. Also plastic wraps dont support stress and eventually the plastic loose the flexibility and breacks by itself. Otherwise great restore.
