MAZDA FD RX7 QUICK BUILD - EP 2

[@banzairx7]

Fuel is most likely green because it has two stroke oil in it

[@andya2636]

Looks like the premixed, probably deleted oil squirters

[@DriftyBits]

Thars exactly what I was thinking as well. (Ex Rotary owner here lol)

[@jdcompton328]

That was my initial thought

[@jdcompton328]

On that note, do you guys plan on running two smoke oil in the fuel? My limited rotary experience says it’s a good idea.

[@banzairx7]

@@jdcompton328 It looked like the oil pump was deleted so I'd say yes.

[@getweir_d]

Happy to weld for you guys any time. I'm not too far.

[@speedacademy]

Youre the man Aaron, We’ll call you next time.

[@brianrobinson9979]

I couldn't say as to all the sediment in the fuel but as to the color, I'd say the previous owner probably pre-mixed. So it's probably just pre-mix oil giving that color

[@anydaynow01]

I was think that or someone put a bucket of that marine grade stabil in it!

[@mrrlucky3631]

I am a mechanic student I’ve learn a lot from ur vdo. Thanks guys anyway I think I’m the only Cambodian 🇰🇭Viewer haha

[@duomaxwell5807]

Big up bro..

[@TrojanLube69]

Look up a channel called Rainman Ray’s Repairs. That is real mechanic work. By real I mean real world scenarios. This channel is awesome for car enthusiasts not for mechanic oriented students/carrier. Even if it has the aspects of working on cars, the end goals are 100% different unless you are aiming to work for a performance shop.

[@moereefer]

I still love the fact it’s a true RX-7 rotory engine. Great job I can’t wait to see it start Brap,Brap👍🏻

[@beansandsausages]

Love that you guys list and link the main tools as well as the parts used in the build videos in the description. Really helps with pricing up projects where new tools might be needed as well

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

Another great episode on what is shaping up to be an amazing RX7. I love how the engine bay is looking! I'm pretty mind blown that the Magnaflow mid pipe bolts up to the Trust axle-back portion. That never happens! Another response monster in the making. You guys are really perfecting what OEM+ means with each build!

[@billshoe22191]

That mid pipe is a work of art. Beautifully done

[@antbymcnair4297]

I'm glad you guys post the issues! No build goes super smooth, so don't be one of those channels who makes it look like they do. Great looking build.

[@neo8378]

That thing just looks so beautiful. Prefect color. The lines are just timeless and godly.

[@RajnathKhanhai]

[@djseiya4998]

Great episode! Love the positive vibes and real process. That downpipe came out excellent 👌

[@rhubarbpie2027]

14:00 those DMC tools are EXPENSIVE. That's a legit wiring person right there.

[@tekniq511]

Great build series so far! Enjoyed this one a lot more than I was expecting. Especially really appreciated the input from Nam on adding a relay during the wiring process too. I'll be looking forward to this next one. Thank you!

[@dragonstorm2074]

My heart dropped for you guys when the coolant leak came up. Rest in peace lol

[@saulenriquemendozabarrenec4721]

There is just a few RX7 here in my city Lima... regards from Perú ... I love your videos

[@RotaryMotoring]

Body and engine bay look beautiful! For response a 3.5" or 4" downpipe/midpipe helps a lot. Also a v-stack to bigger air filter. You can check out vids of my 2014 EFR 7670 FC build.

[@pFbSpecV]

I appreciate showing the failure! Many channels won’t ever show their fails and you guys always nodmop

[@scotty305]

Well done gentlemen, and remember to use a timing light to check all four ignition coils are firing at the correct angle before driving it hard. Add a paint mark to the 'crankshaft' pulley so you have TDC for the second rotor. Adjust the trailing coils while watching, you don't want the trailing (top) spark plugs firing earlier than the leading (lower) ones.

[@EddyEP2]

Waited a whole week for this, will watch it right away!❤ Just did, enjoyed it very much! Too bad the engine didn’t start at the end of the video but it keeps mee looking forward to te next episode! Have a nice weekend!

[@bgee461]

Another HUGE episode!! Massive amount of work 🙌

[@pj9375]

One step forward 2 steps back sometimes… I know how this feels 🎉 good luck with the rest of the build. Looking super sweet

[@alissanematulloev8910]

I love this FD content hopefully they come out with more in the future

[@kira_the_meek]

I'm going to have to come back to this series for reference someday when I can (hopefully) afford an fd, because I really like how this is turning out

[@drivewaybuilt2265]

yeah that's the oil mixed in the fuel which is needed when running a rx7

[@bryanjames5256]

This is amazing. I am hoping to embark on my own RX-7 journey when I find the right model for the right price. This just amps me up even more. Awesome work guys, with the build, and with the video.

[@TonysTechAndCars]

Love you guys and keep up the fantastic content. I always say this but you guys should be way over a million subs. One thing I need to say is the one video a week pattern you have been running is painful for me to wait for! I get it you have busy lives... but if you can squeeze 2 videos in a week then that's awesome!

[@14KShadow]

Another great series guys Love the music you choose!

[@ianm432]

Best thing about haltech is the tech line, when Haltech USA is closed in the evening the 1800 number connects to haltech Australia with the time change. I've had an Australian remoted in on my laptop a few times in the early am lol If you bolt the housing up to the flange it won't warp the flange. I do not like those flex pipes, make sure you check on it in the future if the car seems down on power.

[@chrisokeefe6280]

Excellent content PT & DP. Turn14 coming to the rescue on parts sourcing like a boss! Too bad about the dreaded “startus interruptus” but PT wielding that paint brush like Picasso saving the day 😊 Can’t wait for the start…FERDA!

[@csincos989]

Getting closer to 600k subscribers of BADASS NESS!🤘

[@Naki7g]

I don't mind it not starting today that's more content for us keep it up guys love your work

[@DJ_Driven]

That engine bay is looking proper. You guys are doing a great job! Too bad for the coolant leak but no big deal. Looking forward to the first start ◀️🔼▶️💥

[@tj1993rx7]

Great series, thanks guys for taking it on and sharing.

[@samirlesmes1732]

This FD is gorgeous!

[@frun4]

Cant wait for the next one. And i really cant wait for the new wheel and tire package because those mismatched tires are bugging me lol

[@aquila121]

Was about to say the same thing.

[@PANTYEATR1]

Great episode guys, i do have some input tho. When i weld V-band flanges, i use the back-welding technique, to reduce the chance of warping. Anaerobic sealant cures with the absence of air. It works best in machined surfaces that will be mated together. I would have used a good gasket maker on the studs instead. Then i would have pressure tested the cooling system, while full, before installing the transmission. Either way, good job guys💪

[@hydrolics5449]

Loved watching the video as always, keep up the great work!

[@Bot_967]

Thanks for changing the hose couplers to black

[@friguy4444]

18:21 LOL. Oh the old 90's cars, and some 00's too. "If you leave the dome light on" lol that seems funny now although I grew up with that as a possibility and I even did it more than once I'm sure LOL.

[@benjamindavidson632]

Premix in the fuel Peter. Come on you should know this. And Dave you let it happen on camera. Hahaha

[@RattX7]

Pretty excited to hear the car started. Our builds are very similar so I'm interested in seeing what numbers you guys will get at the dyno.

[@mattsticrazy]

You guys are awesome, love all your work. I would love to see you guy build a mr2. I'm building an mr2 and would love to see what you guys could do with one..

[@TML34]

DP, you’re going to get a lot of smoke on first start-up, it’s fine. Looking forward to some brapiness!!

[@mmavcanuck]

My first start had by-law enforcement looking down my road for fires.

[@TML34]

@@mmavcanuck 😂😂

[@maxtech27]

Fuel have 2 cycle oil in it you need it is call premix

[@arrivendrive6831]

Very nice. I can't wait for the start up.

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

Brilliant video, no worries not starting it up.

[@kc550]

Can't wait to hear this baby brap!!

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Exciting FD Stuff!

[@jimkim23]

Always wondered, it gets stated that you need a lithium charger for lithium batterys. How does the battery know what charges it? For example if it's charged by an alternator a lithium charger? Believe you don't change out the alternator for a lithium approved alternator?

[@soulshinobi]

That fuel color is likely from the addition of blue 2-stroke oil. And I hope to god you're putting oil in the gas before running this rotary. Made a world of difference on my FC, you can feel the difference in engine smoothness right away.

[@aMcConghie16]

Excellent vid guys best channel on KZbin

[@-Cristian_12]

Great episode maybe a less love RX-8, will be great to see an RX-8 build, great work.

[@rambow70]

Super clean build, can't wait to hear it start! Do you guys think that coolant fix will hold?

[@nampmuj15]

Cant wait to see them bbs wheels ?? And the S15 touge battle 🙌😅

[@z_855turboR]

Anaerobic sealant is used on the machined surfaces that takes no gaskets, I'm very interested if is it a way to go on that rubber washers? SA duo is always fun to watch, like the little kids with toys:)

[@jamest5149]

Those ‘washers’ are called Dowty Seals or bonded washers 👍

[@doubletee4391]

might want the double check total number of inputs if someone is choosing between the 2500 and 1500. Sometimes you have to get top shelf just to run all the sensors you need.You might not need the outputs for injectors but you can and may need to repurpose them. You way want to upgrade to a drive by wire throttle body and if memory serves you need the 2500 for that. Unless they have changed something.

[@neoanderson7]

Nothing worse than having to take things apart again to check where leaks are coming from. 😔 Alas, looking forward to seeing it fire up. 👍🏻

[@The_One_Over_There]

Indeed, It's very frustrating. But, It's also just part of the hobby though. Those things happen to the best of us

[@histandard31]

Great video, beautiful car! Nice job guys!

[@hyper8545]

Pre mix is probably why fuel is green xD

[@robevans916]

The old ‘let’s not put gasket maker on the studs to create suspense in the video’ gag….classic.

[@senatorchinchilla5389]

My 97 XJR took ATF for the power steering. It was news to me, but easy to find and cheap.

[@cats.cars.33]

Been waiting all morning for this ❤

[@03nike80]

looks like there might be some oil premix in that fuel to make it look like that....along with being old

[@MrDannyd9]

12:40 It is premixed… but also dirty; I see chunks.

[@RolanTHUNDER]

Hey PT u should've 1JZ swapped that thing and called it a day ;) Good episode though :)

[@SXV550]

I'm pretty sure the fuel had premix in it, you'll need to put premix in the fuel too!!

[@Alexander-sr5fg]

The fuel color is from premix being used instead of the OMP

[@joshuasutton4043]

Nice ride 😊

[@qrtrscale]

I like when you guys cut to the pulsating music with nonsensical voice (or synthesizer) in the background synced with clips, clicks, snaps, and ratchet sounds as you zip through the upgrades ... wish I had that music, and that stuff ran that buttery for my installs :-o.

[@thinkeightsix]

Gasoline is dyed so you know what type of fuel it is. Green is used to designate it as unleaded gasoline. Fuel also has an expiration, usually about 90 days.

[@leetoburrito]

Car is coming together great. Would love to see a cat on that exhaust, though.

[@anydaynow01]

I was thinking the same thing for a street car, but in the end it won't make much difference considering they are going to be running remix most likely and a rotary already has atrocious emissions when tuned properly (safely), plus how few miles this will actually see being a classic car and all (saying that just made me feel old!), like I doubt they are going to daily it.

[@arongenesismagdayao3826]

Green colored gas is a 91 octaine unleaded gas +2stroke oil

[@MultiChimRichalds]

Perhaps the greenish fuel was some pre-mix added to the gas for the apex seals.

[@towpig8575]

You need to put 2 stroke oil in the fuel of a rotary engine to keep the apex seals lubricated

[@bighomieJ5X]

The fuel looks like that because of "premix" if u delete the OEM oil injection u have to do that, key to rotary longevity.

[@MR_equis]

Get rid of the factory air separator coolant reservoir. They are prone to cracking and causing overheating. Either delete it or upgrade it to metal one.

[@dbeckMSP]

is there a plan to add a cat into the exhaust system?

[@my4cars528]

That ending!

[@colinmcdonell5034]

What model of Mega Life battery are you running? I'm currently running a Odyssey PC680 battery and would like to go lithium. Thanks

[@docwyte]

No catalytic convertor? Don't need to pass smog up there?

[@Beezy_Builds]

Stoked!

[@johnpocian7818]

What size ID injectors did you end up choosing? ID1050's?

[@speedacademy]

Yes 1050s

[@kevinbruner9255]

Pre mix is why it's green

[@ldadol]

That fuel has been premixed. My fuel is red for example, depends on the premix chosen

[@Durrty_z]

Gotta treat rotaries like a lawn mower

[@jdmcarcollection7263]

you might want to replace the plastic air separator tank to an alloy one as they are prone to cracking

[@vwmikeyouhoo]

aren't you supposed to premix the fuel on rotaries? Its most likely that tint due to that.

[@kona41]

was the fuel oil mixed or leaded? dam!

[@Nishan210]

Fuel looks like that most probably coz it's got premix in there and yes it does kinda smell like varnish when it sits for awhile

[@jamest5149]

I have never heard someone say ‘its an odd size because it is metric’ before… I hear that all the time the other way around… 10mm v 11/32tooths😂

[@bims7057]

are u guys still premixing the fuel or just fuel?

[@xozindustries7451]

The old fuel probably has two stroke oil mixed in it that’s why it’s that color

[@josephmatuszak3855]

The only thing about flex pipes with rotary is how hot they get in EGT. Flexible couplings like that expect 1/3 the life expectancy due to extreme heat. To reduce the wear, you must reduce the drivetrain from torque twist, i.e. stiffer mounts.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

I also (maybe just some crazy bone in me) use Idemitsu rotary blend oil for mazda rotary. Sounds odd, but they always seem to run just a touch better and it's a smell that is very unique to rotary. When I've use synthetic it oftens coats the entire exhaust system, and using other conventional oils seems to clump a bit.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

[@ANDERZENAMG]

Isn't the fuel an odd color because of pre-mix?? Maybe you guys were just thinking fuel and forgot rotary involved... :) Sweet Build!

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

Needs an auto transmission...or EV swap, even better, areal response monster 👌
