@@JB-sv5pr There's 4-rotor RX-7's with far more stock parts than what Rob is building. It's doable, but it depends on what you want to use it for. If it's only track days, then Rob's RX may make sense, but for more daily-driving stuff, you'll keep most of the changes 'under the hood', so to say.

He has said he's gonna have a running 4 rotor. Didn't say it was gonna be in car. I believe the engine stand getting to sema more than the car to be honest. He's gotta mount a whole new carbon fiber body cuz the one there is missing the front fender and I don't see him finishing it paint ot wrap in time for the show. Unless he's been hiding the new body and is storing it somewhere... I don't see him doing that though he'd be bragging about it and been working on mounting it.

Hi Rob. I recently built a similar setup using the SmartWire on Azn's Dung Beetle and it works great. You might want to consider a small fuse and relay block for your ignition (as you stated) but also for the injectors and the ECU itself. You can activate all the relays with one of the SmartWire outputs.

Can't have it all with variable valve timing I guess.

for many setups yes. IIRC two 16AWG wires with 20A each will equate to 11AWG/40A which could be inadequate. In these cases just use a single fuel pump output (freeing the other in the process) to trigger a dedicated relay or two.

That wasn't aluminum; hopefully, you knew that and were just offering extra advice. I have found that moving too slow, with too little heat, makes it harder to get nice beads on either metal. Running hot and fast can help reduce heat input into the part. X2 on consistency.
