The Cheapest TURBO Rotary RX8 on the Planet Fires RIGHT UP!

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

so we're just adding compression to low compression engines now?

[@mokokawi]

yes...that's great

[@philbert006]

Compression isn't exactly the same as boost. It's a lot cheaper to cram in more air than open the engine and all that hassle.

[@PartikleVT]

Yeah why not, we are also reducing the compression of a high compression engine and then adding compression again. Make it make sense

[@worldrage619]

No the engines just broken in properly for boost lol

[@irukandji___]

That is just turbo rotary life. Low compression? Just add boost

[@jbmarlinproductions]

Man, seems like everyone is doing RX8 content lately... Glad to have found the OG of the superior platform 😅

[@lochsloy217]

“That’s not an oil leak that’s just sweat from all that horsepower” love that lmao

My vote is for the AHP tig welder. They are around 700 and go on sale a lot. You can weld longer with it than any other in it's price range or far above that I have seen. The pedal sycks though and is the first thing to change. Other than that it's a solid starter machine

[@rivalautosport9228]

Been looking at RX8s since 2016. Glad I finally picked one up. Too bad it's a rust bucket. Thank God I found factory replacement panels on Ebay.

With rear mounted batteries on Rx7's all that is needed is the jumper cable on the positive alternator cable and grounded.

Always a fun time hanging with BuzzRx8. 😂 Gotta love the look of child-like joy. 👍

Primeweld 225x is a great welder for the price. Many welders love it for the price. AC/DC, has pulse, frequency, and Balance can also be adjusted. I've used my friend's Primeweld. I have a everlast power tig 255ext but that's about 2½ times the price of a Primeweld 225x which is basically under $900. I would just upgrade to gas lens cup kit from like Furick, get a wedge collet and a tungsten grinder. Plenty of welding videos on KZbin.

[@青い鳥ちび]

To trick the ECU you keep the OMP still pugged in the loom but unbolt it from the block & bolt a blocking off plate over were the OMP goes.Then tuck the OMP somewhere in the engine bay to keep the ECU happy,as long it is plug in it will not go in limp mode.Then just premix the fuel.

[@SlipsExploits]

Ya got me with that outro I am indeed here from gears and gasoline and am now emotionally dedicated to the cheap turbo rx8

[@LushRR]

I'd been waiting for the G&G video with you in. Glad to see that finally out. 💪

[@psychicer5022]

damn this series is kinda making me want to turbo my rx8 since its on the lower side of compression. I do prefer the greddy/rx8 performance set up where the turbo is tucked away below the intake manifold.

[@el8230]

I'm waiting for a detailed video of ECU setup👍

Where is a place to look for a 86-88 FC for a project car? I'm ignorant of where to look. Would love if it ran enough to get to a store and back. Make it something special some day. This channel's energy has been inspirational for a while. Had 2 coupes and a vert. 2 8s. Now I have nothing but a dream and burning desire to have a coupe again and one day experience driving/riding in a turbo rotary as all 5 of mine were NA. Stripped the vert out and removed the cat-back and it felt a lot faster, nimble, and was loud af in the driver seat; sold it to a friend for some reason, passenger seat was much more quiet. Everyone loved the flames shooting out the middle of the car. Nostalgia and passion. I just don't know where to look and I'm rather certain AutoTrader is not the ideal place. sorry for the rambling, any guidance on where to look for a low cost FC would be greatly appreciated. My first one was a 88 GXL in Tornado Gray. Second was a white targa vert. Third was a coupe with headers I couldn't figure out what happened to the idle and power over a certain RPM back in the late 90s as a teen. Probably nothing! I ultimately don't care for the 8s; FDs were always out of my budget and there is something about the FC styling I prefer. Thanks for posting videos of grass roots rotary stuff. While I enjoy Dahm's stuff, this is more relatable than almost everything he has done for years now, and I'm happy for him living his dreams! I think I've been looking for a channel like this, but a lot of people do rotary stuff as a bit, a series, and they kind of all do basically the same few things ... what everyone else has done, or something over the top, which has still been done a lot ... but all glamour, not substance in the way this channel gives. 'oh hey look rotary, isn't it neato? it can be ported, ...' vs pros and cons of experimenting with a hybrid Renesis with a custom header. Detailed, informative videos. Priceless to the community imho.

[@jacob6325]

Any thoughts on blackstar motorsports new rx8 turbo kit?

[@RADPotential]

Haven't seen it. I'll look at it!

[@slobodanvlahovic2416]

where did you get the turbo lube system from and how? I'm planning to install a turbo on my RC8? I ask because the oil that lubricates the engine is not very good at lubricating the turbine because there is a lot of dirt in it, and that is not good for the turbine

[@ultimatejay]

Apex seals blown in 5….4….3…..2……1

[@e.v.a.l.s]

i have the same sentiment about trunk mounted batteries. but if it's a must, one of those amazon chinee jumper boxes is so much more convenient than the mentioned dirty old jumper cables

[@bigred1619]

Can't wait to see what kinda power you can get. From what I've seen around 7 psi is like the max semi safe boost you can run on these engines.

Unless your homie from blackstar in Uk he's aiming for like 18 lol. All about how you do it.

[@alexkathriner8671]

Like to see a timing map, wondering what the max timing will be in boost?

[@aneveningatthesaladbar6884]

Slightly janky, but I'm running an oil pressure gauge off of the pressure switch connection. The threads for that connection are 1/8" npt. If memory serves, that connection is post filter also.

[@noname-sd5dt]

A T off the oil pressure switch was where most 90s jdm engines got their turbo oil feed. Well it was for z18s l20bs fj20s and rb30s

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

I don't understand. You have a turbo, but no boost? Isn't that bad for the turbo or something? Does it even make anymore power at 0 psi? Might seem like a silly question, but trying to understand turbos a bit more

[@noname-sd5dt]

If the turbo has an oil feed, all it will do is spin off the zorst gasses. It will pump air, but that air is not connected to the intake so it wont create boost. Done this way because when it is plumbed in you then need to worry about the boost and scale your ecu maf accordingly, otherwise no more apex seals.

[@jaydencolon6912]

If all your rotary engines have had a oil leak not saying its not possible but i think your experience with rotaries hasn't been the best but either way DORITOS

[@Sammy-j1c]

Even on a good RX8 motor they can only handle 9 psi safely

[@benfps5654]

Stock yes, but if you Port them and dowl it, you can run around 15 safely

[@noname-sd5dt]

Still safely with rx8 apex seals or are rew seals required?

@@noname-sd5dt yes if done correctly, any more you would want to switch the high compression rx8 rotors for rx7 rotors.
