The COST of SWAPPING A Legendary Mazda 787B Engine Into A STREET LEGAL RX7

[@everydaydose7779]

15k for the crank alone jesus Rob Dahm needs to save us from these prices

[@tdkyt46]

Rob dahm cant save you from billet and machining costs at extremely low turnouts

[@BushidoDriver]

​@@tdkyt46 there is no way on earth a billet e-shaft cost anywhere near 15k to produce, there is a healthy profit margin on (currently available) billet rotary parts. Rob Dahm may not have all the answers, but he has the potential to influence the market in a positive direction (from the perspective of enthusiasts)

[@CouchBuilt]

A 26B billet e-shaft with counterweights is $4,500USD from Billet Rotary Store 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BushidoDriver]

@@CouchBuilt which has absolutely nothing to do with how much it actually costs to produce. You can get an entire billet K24 engine block for $6500 which is easily 10X the amount of material. Current mfg's of rotary billet parts have a monopoly, and that is what their prices reflect. What incentive do they have to lower prices, if there is no competition?

[@CouchBuilt]

@@BushidoDrivercool story. I was simply calling bullshit on a $15k price tag. Supply and demand is also a thing.

[@RX7Cody]

Haven't even started the video and my credit card is already maxed out

[@thefunniestfarm4731]

150k for a daily driver rx7 supercar is well worth it if that is your favorite car. You can do a 2 rotor turbo rx7 with more power for cheaper but you would only trailer that thing to places without bumps or potholes, plus the noises are less cool.

[@LuckyFruitRacing]

Or you could still do the mods which make it streetable and still be way under the budget of this...

[@RADPotential]

The black FD has like 25k under the hood and it's going to be basically the same performance, but it won't sound like a 4 rotor lol

[@leoncarlier]

With rotaries, you never, ever add it up. You cant measure the joy of rotaries in $$$. It is more than that. I literally think of rotas every day.

[@NotNicot]

Easily my favorite build i've ever seen on all of social media, it must be truly a dream car to own and drive

[@pspecd]

Such an awesome build! Gorgeous work, cannot wait to see you start building your fd

[@RotaryMotoring]

The slide throttle helps it sound great, but you should implement step motor/carriage screw drive by wire on slide throttle. Stop the sticking and dial in pedal damping at low rpm.

[@MrMeoow91]

I spent 1/3 of my rebuild budget for my FC on A/C and cooling system, so I can brag to people how my car is completely stock and slow, but it has cold AC 😂

[@Freakinsweet1234]

This looks so good but the front plate looks so dumb on it, gotta lose that

[@RX7Cody]

Very thankful i saw this one in person, i really took it all in. Even more thankful for my stock 94 Chaste White FD PEP that i wont be putting that kind of money into haha. 🤙🏻

[@wthomason]

Can we please get an update on the yellow RX8? I will continue to post this on every new video… 😂

[@mrsquirrel8079]

I have both a hardtop and a sunroof. The hard top has WAY MORE head room than the sun roof.

[@sweettooth80]

I have thought about getting a rx8 and a mx5 engine and trubo charge in in the rx8

[@josetomfigueroa3128]

5:08 is on point, can’t get enough of it!

[@RandyAugustus]

Dream car numero uno for me. If I had the money, I’d spend that much to build mine similarly to this. I’d need the turbskis though.

[@BushidoDriver]

Since you asked......so many compromises were made for it to be a "street" car, I definitely would have gone with a intake plenum/ throttle body instead of slide throttles.

[@TGBuild270]

Perfect way to build a street 4 rotor I'd say. Although I'd probably add in a little more exhaust. From what i can tell, it's pretty loud. Is it uncomfortably loud on longer trips?

[@RADPotential]

With the extra muffler it sounds awesome. Honestly a perfect volume in the car. It's still outside the car for sure!

[@Joeboost8805]

Sent you a couple messages lil while back... you have some part's for my 10thAE you may not remember me... but this FD is SOO sick 1:53

[@rotorhead5826]

The car in the thumbnail is a 767.

[@dakula1]

Yes indeed you are right the idiot in these videos doesn't seen to even realize what hes saying half the time, I said the same thing unsubbed better off watching a real one like RED BULL MAD MIKE

[@jacobball4594]

I can’t believe how much that motor looks like it’s supposed to be in there

[@Tsunamirx7]

I wouldn’t change a thing on that car!

[@digdugbingo]

The question then becomes, which one makes the iconic... vop vop vop vop vop sound that the 787B produced at LeMans??? Which ever one makes that noise, it was worth every penny!!!

[@leoncarlier]

All the things you suggested would be what I would change also. It is a really good car though.

[@fishingwiththeks]

I can confirm that we enjoy driving the car.

[@doubletee4391]

street cars need to be comfortable! Swaps in one of the angriest race motors of all time lol

[@TheRayco86]

5:07 You're welcome

[@josetomfigueroa3128]

That’s on point 😉

[@jimbowcracklehead8071]

How far along is the hybrid renesis?

[@RADPotential]

Rotors are coming back from mazdatrix as we speak!

[@jimbowcracklehead8071]

@RADPotential YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Finally dude, I'm waiting on you to show results so I can pull the trigger myself

[@huffdesigner]

Make a 4 Rotor Rx8 :)

[@RADPotential]

What about hybrid turbo street car.

[@huffdesigner]

@@RADPotential That would be so sick. Also could you do an Rx8 Turbo Video, what you need and the build process. I have a Rx8 and I would love to turbo it. So it have a bit more power.

[@RADPotential]

When you see yellow car final tuned and ripping in an up coming video, I can outline the details once I have done it, and it's reliable. I'm learning turbo rx8 just as you are

[@huffdesigner]

@@RADPotential Keep up your videos! It's so cool seeing what you are doing. I own an Rx8 and a Corolla. I am so tempted to just sell the TOASTER the Corolla (that car is just an appliance) Daily drive the Rx8 that car is 6 speed and its so much fun.

[@ajsummerhayes4639]

To do differently? Do that to my FB instead of the FD.

[@kevinshchepanik5378]

Defined Autoworks does great work!

[@ColinLee-ms8ni]

Wheres the variable inlet trumpet lol

[@ADudesRotary]

If that's what you want, that's what you have to pay.😊

[@CorvetteC8ZR1]

[@hayden6332]

Cold start video when 😭😭😭

[@zacharypierce4672]

I know you live in Nashville man. I live in Franklin. I hate to be the guy that asks. But what do you do for a living. I’m a crane operator and I feel like there’s more out there with better pay.

[@edlippjr]

FN'A that thing is... RAAAAD! lol

[@faultyistired2556]

Maybe I'll just stick with an ls swap❤

[@robikon2204]

How much? About 1750000 credits in gran turismo 7

[@Psyrecx]

*Mewn Roof* > *

[@swilleh_]

sunroof 🤮

[@James-z4i4v]

Thanks for the forecast! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@squirrel6158]

Opps 🤦‍♂️

[@harrod19]

I change the name on the title 😂

[@pilotode.teclado]

Que vídeo satisfatório. #ACF

[@tabithabillings1526]

🤙🤙

[@nickwells20]

Add another 50 bucks for a wash and wax because your your dirty hands are touching the beautiful white paint and shinny interior lol. Beautiful build though congrats to both of y'all.

[@RADPotential]

Lol we have a detail guy! It's going to spend some time there for sure. Thank you!

[@desmondmarshall7384]

😂

[@M-PASTA]

You don’t have to do emissions there or do you just gotta “know a guy”

[@RADPotential]

No emissions at all

[@dakula1]

Doesn't need to worry about emissions as it's completely stock standard no porting or anything like the 787b engine, this guy is an idiot just saying this crap, he bolts 4 standard rotor housings together and calls it a 787b engine, such a waste of good parts poor Johny I say.

[@dakula1]

MR Rab here haha the world's first low compression smokey 26b lol

[@Vipurs]

What a jealous hater lol

[@rotaryperfection]

For me, emissions are a must. Not because it's regulated locally (which it isn't). Only because I cant stand smelling like an oil refinery when I drive my car. To each their own.

[@unheimliche9410]

click bait. the only thing it shares is 4 rotors

[@shmazy86]

I knew full well he meant a 4 rotor and not the actual engine from a 787b

[@squirrel6158]

First to comment 🤪

[@MotoWot]

Please show us the late trailing spark plugs on your "787B engine". Formula 1 cars used to have turbo 4 cylinder engines. My car has a turbo 4 cylinder engine. Therefore my car has an F1 engine. Not.

[@Rayden-c1e]

Third to comment!

[@stevestewart-pw7vb]

One look at the intake would tell you it's not a 787 motor.... dumn, the lot of ya
