Put a stock rx-7 headlight switch on it to be able to pop up the headlights, then you have one fully stock part :)

[@harleypickin217]

Better yet have one stock bolt from a rx7 and tell people to find the stock parts

[@bbggakkba]

I feel like he should remake the stalk out of billet aluminium though just for because reasons

[@MrDngrsdave]

Techinically the headlight would be the stock part so dont need the headlight switch

[@JB-sv5pr]

Let’s scrap the whole project and build a stock rx7 fd3s 2+2 from scratch let’s cut the motor in half :)

[@halofreak1990]

@@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.

[@ben94cobra]

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.

[@distantcrowd2405]

Build a standoff plate for the dashpak so it's at a slight 15 to 45 degree angle... Better for the cool setup your making

[@Kristo99]

what kind of pistons are you gonna run?

[@jacobwebb8818]

I believe he said Mahle pistons on the 3 rotor and Wiseco on the 4 rotor. Manley rods on the 3 rotor and Eagle rods on the 4 rotor. Rob doesn't know it but the reason the 3 rotor doesn't work isn't actually grape juice, but the knock sensor read wrong and threw the camshaft position sensor off. Can't have it all with variable valve timing I guess.

[@Mgiles1001]

@@jacobwebb8818 hopefully decent cams too

@@Mgiles1001 Didn't he say he will use the FreeValve system? Christian wanted to give it to him for free after all

@@FzudemB I think not, in the end, Rob didn't wanted to overcomplicate it with the FreeValves like with all these spark plugs and injectors. Im glad though that he finally got a decent timing belt, considering the ponnies he's gonna make. I presume he would rip his head of if the first thing after pumping the pedal to the metal was to hear how valves meet the pistons.

Rob, you need to have circuit protection for all of those high amp circuits. A fuse blowing means something is fucked up and you'd rather fix the issue then replace your nice shiny module or run new wiring

[@hanspeter7332]

Fuel Pump wire is to thin for this strong pumps! (2:09)

[@ben94cobra]

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.

[@LocoFabandMachineworks]

Rob Piss the aem dash off and get a racepak logger dash (they can log 42 channels of data) and send all that info over can bus to your smartwire (can control anything based on logic in your smart wire without wiring it all in to either directly the smart wire or a input module) I have the setup on mine and it is outstanding

[@thejman3489]

8:37 A consistent dip and a consistent speed will make it look real nice. Aluminum runs pretty hot and fast and you don't need as much filler as you think you do, especially on thin stuff.

[@CGT80]

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.

[@tag206]

Wait, teng gives you a toolbox full of the right tools, and you still use an adjustable spanner.

[@willjunkin732]

Cant wait to hear it run.

[@boltonky]

I really enjoy the new generation of PWM's but it really comes down to your needs and if you want a "solid state sequencer" that requires constant power (don't know if racepaks one has internal batteries)...great but still have limitations and not to mention you can't borrow parts to fix it. Keep it up and like the engine stand, i am building my EFI/Carb one as we speak

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

I definitely think you should do something to isolate that oscillation. It can lead to the flutter effect and then have catastrophic failure. Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

[@curvs4me]

Rob, Smartwire is not an ecu. It can act as fuses for the cooling system but it doesn't turn fans on and off automatically, you need to run that through ecu
