One-Rotor Speedster FIRST START - CAN IT SOUND ANY BETTER!?

[@gregbrightwell662]

3 weeks. And that sound is intense! Once the turbo, downpipe and exhaust are on it, i think it will sound really great

[@ettumama]

SUPER-LAWNMOWER to the rescue! I like it.

[@gregduncan6279]

You caught my attention with the one rotor, looking forward to seeing how it works out for you. I'm also building a one rotor Mazda 13B based Wankel to use in the two seat home built kit aircraft that I'm building. It is based on what my Dad developed back in the 1980's.

[@seudechrist]

Please put this build on youtube sir

[@jamescrapeticio2771]

Very nice man. That’s really cool. We got a lot of inspiration from the info floating around the internet about single rotor engines in light aircraft.

[@ghostofthedeep]

Got videos that would be kool

[@gregduncan6279]

No video of my single rotor yet. I have to make a couple of internal engine conversion parts and intake yet from drawings I got from my Dad when he was building and selling these engines for aircraft use back in the 80's & early 90's. I do have all of the aircraft mount and prop drive parts already. The single rotor I'm building is a Duncan Aircraft Engines model SR150R and should swing the same prop as a Lycoming O-320. That is a 320 cubic inch four cylinder rated at 150 HP.

[@Yxxj-p5t]

Rotary in a plane sounds like a death trap tbh lol

[@K3Plez]

September. Once you take a day off it’s addictive.

[@blackrogue86]

We don’t have the so we’re going to have to make . Think I heard that 30 times, I love it.

[@samjohnson7325]

Vashaun Roberts story of our lives tbh

[@fcmacken]

Got to hand it to you guys....you all are good at your craft. When I worked for Mazda Southside Motors it was expected that the car was back in the customers hands the afternoon of the next day for major engine overhaul. That's new housings, rotors, cut side seals...the works. Did it 6 years, 6 days a week before going into the Navy. But that is when Mazda parts fit before you took it apart and fit going back in. Time was relative then. But custom fit takes a team of genius sometimes. Was not surprised when the bell housing was not deep enough for the clutch and flywheel. Same thing happened when we mounted a RX2 engine in a VW bus....lots of set backs. I know as subscribers we are your worst critics sometimes, but cheers on the build...your attention to detail is noted...so is some "not ready for prime time" also. LOL But if it was easy, everyone would be doing it!

[@Wangan280z]

Guys, ive worked on a few finished speedster builds in the past, you guys are building the best one ive ever seen👌

[@gorkuhmork]

Sounds amazing makes me want to build a single rotor motorcycle

[@venumus1]

I love backyard engineering, I don't know how.many times I've been told I don't know what I'm doing by some kid in a mechanics school that is only taught to read a diagnostic computer when I've worked on more cars then they have ridden in. Keep up the awesome work guys

[@Draft_7]

This build is honestly nuts.

[@base_cannon6066]

the single rotor build is cool.

[@wvuvino21]

First drive, 356 hours after this vid was posted Sound, like a cam’d 4stroke with a 2stroke top end Winning schwag for simply posting a comment, Priceless

[@vw5085]

Omg. Been waiting for the start up

[@julians7268]

Just found the channel. Its amazing to see a build actually come together so fast. You guys could have milked this for 5 years.

[@sc-no8lq]

Sweeeeet!!! That thing is rad. Need to drive it for the 4th of July!!!!! Sleep is for the dead.

[@randysookdeo2990]

Not to worry, within the next three weeks we're gonna see a first drive. Can't wait!!!! Keep up the great work guys.

[@jayswin2]

Love the nod to "bad obsession motorsport"...Big respect

[@Brock_Landers]

I love it bro. Sounds just like a freaking lawnmower. I really CAN'T WAIT to see what this thing makes after a proper tune and running well! Edit due to spelling...dururururrrrr!

[@omnomnom2110]

Excited to see the first start!

[@christopherspier2123]

46 days..... Sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear with turbo/ tune and exhaust!

[@kheff46]

Love the sound of the one rotor!! Great work guys

[@MrNosajwhitey]

You guys have great perseverance luv the weight reduction methods and the rattle can paint job so many things right with this project now

[@deadsols5852]

Honestly I think you could probably finish the whole thing in a month and be ready to show. guys are kicking ass it sounds so awesome can't wait

[@devil2jz500]

That's awesome! I think you guys are gonna get it driving faster than expected. I'll be here waiting for another update.

[@MrHeggie123]

Awesome project , good work guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@theWilldabeast64]

Wait a minute, I have owned your shades before I ever knew y’all had a KZbin channel! I started watching the one rotor build!

[@ptyatas4380]

Hell yeah best feeling startin the project for the first time congrats yall

[@asharabahmed2502]

You guys have the most interesting builds on all of youtube. so underated. you guys got a new sub

[@Mike-xq6ce]

I am glad I found this channel.... Always thought it would be so fun to slap a turbo 1 rotor into some super light/tiny vehicle and rip. Sounds awesome.

[@Sparksofginger]

2 months. But you guys are kicking ass!!

[@FastCat_Motorsports]

This sounds absolutely savage! I can't wait to see what it does with boost.

[@chadbracegirdle5498]

Sooo happy to see this video, even turned the new 1320 video off for this. Lovin it

[@kisiel1612]

Omg that sound is insane, I can't wait to see you guys running in this. Great job!

[@SeroTonyMedia]

Awesome! I'm so happy it started!

[@spacecase70]

3 weeks till first drive, it sounds awesome!!!

[@hevymtal1]

I hope it drives soon it's a badass ride for sure

[@fredericrike5974]

Well it made noise- a sure sign of life! It sounds as noisy as my 12 year old Husky ZTR- even has a shot out muffler! About 32hp from the Husky! You're gonna make that 48 hp for sure now! Great going- even though it was a wild thrash- great work!

[@SuprSi]

can't wait to see it get tuned, nice work

[@warummussmeinnameangegeben6502]

Sounds like a bad running bug engine :D I love it

[@Sniper269]

Good job guys on getting it going...well started. I'm sure the current sound will change to the point it want sound the same after the turbo is installed and piped to the intake.

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

I appreciate your level of drive on this build, but don't kill yourselves. It will happen in due time, I'll still be watching... Definitely has the 2 stroke sound, can't wait for it to be spooling...

[@ROBERT78950]

Glad you got it started

[@gaspumprob]

Thanks for sharing these videos!!! It sounded exactly as I thought. Kawasaki introduced a single Cylinder 300 Jet Ski in the 80s that sounded just like the single rotor vers the twin rotor. The 300 was a single cylinder two stroke vers the twin. Keep up the good work guys! Rob

[@smalltruckadventures]

That was an amazing amount of smoke & noise from A 152 lb engine! It will be spectacular to see it drivable I'm guessing in late July!

[@slimkid1317]

I like the sound of the engine, very much surprised of the first start.

[@kd7jmy]

Ya buddy it sounds too cool. You should totally make the tuning video. Make sure to follow this part to a tee! "6.1.3 Setting cranking timing" in the user manual. I Have seen issues with tunes because this step is not followed correctly. Wish ya the best of luck! Keep up the hard work!

[@turbofb24]

2.8 weeks and it sounds amazing

[@marcushare8114]

11 days. Sounds like alot of fun!

[@noahkalnas97]

Alright after 2 mins I've decided that yall get my sub. I'm digging your content. Good work boys, dont be hard on yourselves yall killing it.

[@noahkalnas97]

Also I'm thinking that you all will have it running and capable of driving in a month or so but actual ready to hit it hard will 3 or so months these projects are never truly done and up to what you want you'll end up probably doing more and more to it.

[@goldcoastrob984]

Wow it runs awesome I think like 3 weeks until full test drive 👍👍👍👍

[@jordandwyer8196]

You guys are puttin in work! Good stuff

[@MK-pi2zt]

Incredible video ! I saw another 2 weeks to get it super dialed.

[@nuggetboys7731]

Good to see some other Project Binky fans!

[@Med1na2012]

Sounds like an old Suzuki RE5 motorbike I seen a while ago! Great stuff guys! Might take a few weeks to a month slowly but surely 👍🏻

[@bam1153]

This is so cool pluse I wanna build one now love the sound and I say about another two weeks and y'all will have it up and running on it's own power

[@34built30]

Sounds awesome!! Id like to say in the next couple weeks..

[@deezyjay4582]

Luving it all the way from Australia 🇦🇺

[@kawaiikeyboards]

epic!!! Should sound better with the turbo on, but again contrats on getting the engine started

[@atmosphericdump4997]

This video was so exciting! I love the brappy boi!

[@frankgile1996]

Man, this single-rotor Speedster is gonna be rad... I love both this and Bad Obsession Motorsport's "Project Binky", but I can't help but notice how you guys are constantly pushing yourselves for more episodes... I appreciate being able to get a new episode every few days, but it's your car... No need to hurry things if you don't want to, or just for KZbin... Otherwise, really solid build, keep it up...

[@darianistead2239]

I run 2200cc primary and secondary injectors so 4x 1000cc injectors is about right lol. Been waiting for this to pulse👌

[@samjohnson7325]

Darian Murcott-Istead we are thinking it should be great for ethanol but I’ve heard of people having drivability issues on single 1000cc primaries on 13b’s. Once we have a wide and we will know for sure

[@duffyboy510]

a month and a half till first drive. good job guys

[@thekid_aj242gamingchannel8]

nicely done @teamboosted

[@Questchaun]

Hell yeah boys she sounds amazing!

[@dqultimate]

I like the sound of the engine it does remind me of a really old plane!

[@Nile9063]

Still very nice to watch!

[@floatncoffee]

Congrats guys!! Awesome work

[@Daniel.Ghoust]

That 1 Rotor sound beasty nice video was waiting for that! 👌😁

[@teamspikerspeed9093]

Thing sounds sick for a first start I give you guys a month and it's driving!

[@nevilleweskob3613]

The ear muff throws when it runs were class haha

[@mrkthmn]

I’m gonna say... 3 months for first drive. I think like the 2nd round of the Datsun youll end up re-doing a lot of stuff “the right way” and without the rush it will just take time. The sound is way cool though!! I had no reference point before hand and I was _not_ disappointed!

[@world616]

No header, throwing fire. Love it.

[@tajvwss]

Hey guys, love the videos. You asked if anybody would like to see more of the super beetle and I would definitely like to see more. What you thought about the rotary powerplant, thoughts regarding the Mendeola S2 suspension, driving impressions, etc. Keep up the good work!

[@kyleflowers2641]

Sounds awesome! 2 weeks until it's running and driving.

[@BboyWhiteNinja]

Sounds so sweet!!! 1 month 💪

[@MrMadkaw400]

Great work boys

[@562LBLegend]

4 weeks 5 days till first drive. Cant wait to do a 13b in a 59 Rambler wagon.

[@danw1955]

Hah hah, too cool! I'm sure it will sound *MUCH* better once the turbo and the exhaust, muffler, etc. get built and installed. Pretty nifty! Can't wait to see the first drive vid. Nice work you guys!😁👍👍 When that thing finally popped and took off, I immediately got some Suzuki RE-5 vibes.🤣

[@andyperrett4015]

You guys dont have to rush through it to get to your goals . But it is fun to use deadlines to push projects ahead . 4 weeks

[@mister9643]

Congrats guys!!!

[@ryanstuart1705]

Killin it. 3 weeks driving

[@joseluisgutierrez3497]

Buen trabajo, chicos en el primer encendido, mis felicitaciones, gracias por compartir.

[@scottjinx]

nice, it sounds like Mazdas original rotary prototype, the Mazda RX500 which used a single rotor rotary engine using a 10a sized rotor

[@Tiltymilk]

Sorry to correct you, the 10a was a twin rotor design you confused it with the 40a, I believe

[@scottjinx]

@@Tiltymilk hi, haha, yeh i know the 10a is a 2 rotor but if you read my comment again it says 'a single rotor rotary engine using a 10a SIZED rotor' so a 60mm wide rotor rather than the 80mm 13b rotor used here, cheerz :)

[@scottjinx]

@@Tiltymilk it's been ages since i first saw that vid of the RX500 putting around the carpark so i searched it & had another look, i assumed it was a single rotor using 10a parts because of the name RX500, i was thinking 500cc & one 10a rotor would give that capacity & it sounded like a single rotor because it was running like a bag of shit but after checking the specs it was actually a 10a hey , haha, they really should give it a freshen up & get it running properly & do some decent demo runs, it really is a kool piece of rotary history & would be good to see it performing the way it was supposed to hey :)

[@Tiltymilk]

scottjinx ohhh my bad!! Didn’t mean to come off as rude or anything lol I agree with you they should definitely not be firing it up unless it’s getting tuned because everybody and their moms know you don’t sit there and rev the shit out of a cold rotary and shut it off...it’ll bite you in the ass. No hate because it’s for video purposes 😁 I recently picked up a 13b renesis, the previous owner is 2JZ swapping his rx8, i’m going to rebuild it and drop it back into a rx8 when I find a decent shell 😅 if you’re reading this I hope YOU have a GOOD ASS DAY! Keep them dorito machines talked about and aliveeee ZOOM! ZOOM!!

[@FAFO1984]

That thing looks fun

[@AnubisPrime79]

I think it will take another month without the major time crunch. The sound so far is simply amazing.

[@Mackanpackan28]

4weeks! And it sounds awesome!

[@jtwkrc1]

I think 6 weeks on driving. Sorry... I love the sound. This is a really interesting build. Keep it up.

[@itekani]

It works! :) I have one concern about the gas tank though. Are the leather straps really adequate for holding it? Think tank full of gas and you crash into something, the forces gets pretty strong.

[@rangirides4884]

So bloody cool, loving the content

[@distantcrowd2405]

That engine sound is badass I cant wait till we hear it bounce off limiter

[@stephanedoyon102]

1 month , that nice to hear the motor for the first time

[@ocjim13]

2 weeks, engine sounds braptastic!

[@sliminus92]

Cant wait for the idle, going to sound dope! :O

[@ARandomGuy13]

This is awesome. Great job

[@jordanmelville1]

I say maybe another 3weeks to a month before you guys get it out on first drive Don’t feel like you guys have to rush I enjoy all your guys content keep up the long process of work 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽☺️ 🎥 👨🏻‍🏭🏎👨🏻‍🔧

[@TheMongoose69]

I think you guys will have it running within the next two to three weeks and on the road what's the proper wiring harness in and of course

[@Chelu_Guam]

Damn about time we get to hear this baby braap. Nice job guys

[@andrewkim3118]

Can't wait to hear the turbo. Probably in 2 weeks and another to get it driving

[@jeremiahc4838]

20/20 build 🤔 sounds like a 2 stroke dirt bike👏

[@rcracer55o]

It already Runs :D yes and sounded good for no tune or Turbo
