I *really* hope that chip didn't do any more damage further back in the compressor, and I sure as hell don't know why Rob kept going knowing there were shards of metal in the intake system.

[@boxr_4214]

Adam Baldwin the piece is big enough that it wouldn’t make it past the intercooler, so unlikely that he would have to worry about it. if it didn’t break anything else during the period of time between the chip breaking and the engine being shut off it’s unlikely that it ever would.

5:04 Those clutch plates must be doing some turbo type revs when smashing it back down gears to get neutral while the wheels are still going at top speed, just letting the clutch out in neutral they kick the revs up just slowing them down. Leave it in 5th until the wheels slow down a bit. You have the gear ratios, work out what revs it would be doing at top speed in first. As good as they are, they cant be happy going 50000 rpm. Crunch crunch crunch crunch. bang. Clutch plates have left the building.. Edited..Watched it closely again, It was still in first when you let the clutch out wasn't it, that's what kicked the revs up. (counted the crunches and watched your hand)

[@Amsinckster]

Please keep the car in 5th gear when slowing down on the dyno, then go down the gears back to neutral when you’re rear wheel speed is down. Banging down the gears with 150mph RWS makes the input shaft spin insanely fast.

[@rotorhead5826]

This needs more likes. Anybody who has done a money shift will know.

I was thinking the exact same thing. When I've dyno'd manual cars, you let the dyno slow the car down, then get out of gear. Those downshifts look painful.

[@danyockey1230]

Imagine if he inadvertently let the clutch out while doing that..

You should put the vehicle into neutral when the run is done. Since he's rowing trough the gears with the clutch pedal always pressed, i'm not sure what you mean.

Hey rob, great videos and I’m Glad you went into some more detail, what sort of ignition timing are you running? On another note, downshifting after a 9000rpm dyno pull speeds up your clutch disks by a multiple of each gear ratio, so ultimately you are rotating your clutch disks at upwards of 20000RPM right next to your leg! You might be better off just holding in the clutch till the wheel speed reduces as you can’t just put it into neutral! Keep up the great work!

this was amazing man I almost teared up with seeing you so rewarding I cant wait to start seeing it hit the track and having fun

[@jadejoeramsaybrawn6160]

Congrats Rob I've been following this build From the start every episode I get excited to see what you are doing to this unicorn of a build you are an absolute inspiration to all who watch and believe in you and your vision of what you can achieve in your quest of to taming the rotary.. you are an amazing human being thank you for who you are

[@Blahsheep]

I can't wait to see this thing on a track

[@Stevo1361]

15:00 come on dude, with all the fabrication you’ve got access to and you haven’t even made some kind of decent shielding from the driveshaft during dyno runs?! Crazy.

[@mohgujai]

The whole build is pretty much held together by good luck. I'm surprised he haven't got injured yet.

[@sparkie5571]

even some stupid simple bolt on would do well enough

[@matthew-wy1ix]

The bell housing and trans should also have a scatter shield of some sorts

[@ScottKenny1978]

We've been harping on that since he did that massive burnout at hoonigans. I would be looking for a big carbon fiber tube to use as a driveshaft guard, and then some steel around the top for driver protection.

[@XBullitt16X]

Right ? His arm is so dam close to that high speed rotating mass, he could atleast put in a teporary tunnel cover, or something especially with crazy high speed runs like these.

[@francoroco5223]

Awesome vid with awesome results! Big congratulations to all your hard work!! Keep it up!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@timkirk3736]

Unreal! It was so cool to see that shot of her up on the lift. Seeing that oil sump took me back to old vids. So killer that you did this yourself! Congrats!!!

[@badatmath8995]

Yoooo, I was scrolling through my FB pictures and found the 4 rotor back before it got tore apart at the belle isle meet. Crazy to see the transformation!

[@jayceanderson6541]

Haven’t watched the video yet, I don’t know if I’m ready to witness this insanity.

[@AnthonySvt_]

Rob IM FYCKEN PROUD OF YOU!!!! Years of work and now you are finally seeing success!!

[@connerhoagland9811]

Really wish I would have found your channel earlier in the build, still going to go back and watch them all. Congrats on 1200!

[@ericzeigler7500]

you know what dahm!!! your are my inspiration!!! when you fully build this monster rx7 4X4 ( that's 4 rotor X 4 wheel drive or awd to you) i think the world will have to take notice. i'm starting my build on paper now because of you. one day i only hope to shake the hand of the man who build the first AWD RX7 :-)

[@THEMIGHTYALPACA]

Me closing my eyes every time the hose in front of the turbo gets sucked in a little edit: oh hey look it broke

[@ralfszemzars1885]

Oh my god, that hose going past the turbo is giving me anxiety. Oh.. OOooooh.

[@flywithusMSFS]

For me this is now at a stage where it is humanly impossible to describe my feelings and thoughts a out this. Congrats man, project of a lifetime!

[@MetallicalCatastroph]

So yeah.... Prep this bad boy for SEMA and get buzz around it so it wins the GT award and shows up on GT7. Just saying.

[@Wopadas]

Sema is cancelled for this year so he should have enough time to finish it.

[@austinrode3974]

I just finished a 5 year project and its so cool to see this car getting done now never doubted it after I met you and talked

[@colinpringle8705]

Congrats buddy so glade you hitting you goals, and thanks for letting us come with you. Keep it up mate

[@DaftFader]

"Hi I'm rob dahm, and you might remeber me from such videos as 'we learned to braid', 'my turbo's eating my car' and 'I just pissed myself, i'm glad there's no floor!"

[@Cryocleantexas]

That open cockpit is scary but it’s so cool to see the mechanics of it though!

[@Nordic3i]

Dude it was practically yesterday you decided to jump off the cliff and go full send. As radical and long the journey it might have seemed the day you uploaded the video making a commitment to yourself and your fans, you have finally witnessed what you are capable of, and we got to witness it. I have watched every video the day you release them because of how much I enjoy watching the progress of your determination to make something people will talk about for decades. Inspirational, incredible, and scary as hell what you've made.

[@reynojam]

Congrats man! That is a huge milestone and the look said it all, incredible job!!!

[@MegaKlanten]

Rob is always roasting himself in the editing 😂

[@tlakehlubi1214]

Rob has the most infectious mad scientists eyes, got me looking Dr. Frankenstein🤣🤣

Longest is 2006 to 2019...

[@von...]

the only thing that I am able to point out, as a "know-it-all commenter", that might be helpful is that around 20:24 during the pull you can see that you are pushing the clutch slightly in with your foot during the heat of the moment. I dont know where the bite point is for this clutch, but in my bmw that definitely would impact the heat the clutch sees/how long of a life it has. My proposed solution based on nearly no insight or experience is: Make a floor pan so you dont rest your foot on the clutch as much but duuuuuuuuuuude holy shit this is insane & i am so happy for you Rob

[@chaleowin7732]

It's fun to watch you work through all your gremlins. It will be interesting to see if you can put all that power to the ground once your done with it. You heart and soul is being poured into this project and everyone can see it. Great job.

[@codyserr7331]

Hell ya Rob!!!! So fucking badass!!! Yet so much more to come!! That beast is capable of SO much more!! You're so lucky to be doing this! I can't wait to get there. Much admiration

[@naterypka1165]

Awesome job Rob! Congrats!

[@gunsnrosesforever100]

Man, as someone who wants to get into doing exactly this, building and testing parts and understanding why they fail / how to improve them, this channel is awesome. Nothing better then building something from scratch using nothing but youre brain power.
