This video was posted 7 years ago and you probably won’t see this comment but I just have to say I’ve been watching your engine build videos over the years and they were always top notch but I had no idea the absolute amazing fabrication skills you possessed! Freaking excellent job man I’m blown away I’m going to watch this video a few more times over the weekend. I am super impressed!

Great build, and what a choice for a sleeper! Most people would be leary of racing any rotary vehicle, but the 79-80's with their steel bumpers, plaid interior and especially THAT paint!.....gonna surprise many who would challenge it!! Also a great choice to spec the chassis with the highend SE running gear. Its too bad the wonky position of the 79-80 shifter caused so much trouble with engine placement. That's where I'm glad I have an 84, since the interior console is pushed back a bit. It made fitting up my S5 TII quite a bit easier. Even with the stock OMP and my aftermarket rack and pinion steering, any 13B swap is a cakewalk compared to the 20B. FWIW, I have over 15 years of daily driving on my 350hp-ish S5 swap, running into the stock SE rearend....its a pretty tough little nut. Congrats on a clean, tasteful and massively overbuilt sleeper!

As a mechanic in Australia, I only ever saw the insides of a rotary at trade school. Your videos were great for me to watch as it clearly demystified the rotary for me. I built many high horsepower engines only now to see that had I taken the plunge into rotaries I could have done it easily. Just my workshop with ridge removers, cylinder hones, conrod alignment and balancing, valve facing machine, boring bar etc etc - all totally redundant. Thanks for posting these videos.

I built a lot of engines in my early years as a mechanic and I can tell you guys know yer SH**, I mean "stuff". Plus you take great pride in doing a methodical and precise build paying close attention to detail. I don't know what the price is for one of these but I'm sure it's fair considering the research and testing you've obviously done.
Some of those oil pan welds looked sloppy...Not sure on the details of HOW it was assembled, but those welds looked like shit I did in high school.... I'll just assume you touched up the holes and globbyness before you painted it, or your gunna get massive seam rust down there.....Everything else was spot on (bent radiator fins is no biggie and happens all the gawd damn time on those old rads).

Glad you liked it but just so you know the piping and muffler were both temporary and were not delivering the sound that it should have. At that point there was also no tune in the ECU (very basic base MAP) so the engine only sounds good cuz 20B's just sound that good period. The custom turbo system we built is as good as they get and no doubt it will eventually deliver on all aspects when finished. My personal car (20B/FD) has a very similar turbo / manifold set up coupled with a rare 3 1/2 V-band exhaust with straight through resonator and free flow cat back. I will feature my car in an upcoming video...then you'll hear the true roar of a 20B

Very thorough step through. One of the problems with rotaries is that a significant component the force produced from the combustion process contributes to the rotor’s sporadic angular momentum at only acute/other angles; rather than - as a traditional 4 stroke/piston engine does - contributing a significant component of the force produced from the combustion process in the same direction as the downward travelling piston. That said, their absence of reciprocating mass and a valvetrain - combined with the addition of port geometries that even rotary valve piston engines would be proud of, certainly go a long way to compensating for that. I knew a guy years ago that had a 428 cobra-jet Mustang running high compression, dual dominators, nitrous and a few other modifications that made his car the fastest in the hood. That was until he accepted a challenge from an old beat up looking Mazda with undercoat splotches all over it. I had been in the Mustang a few times and it was certainly extremely powerful and fast; it could easily lay rubber as you changed into 3rd with 4 people in the car. Back then not much was known about the potential of rotary engines, and most tradition hot rodders laughed at them. The Mustang owner was completely oblivious of them, and also how modified the Mazda was also. After the Mazda won the ¼ mile race the Mustang owner was so embarrassed that he sold his car. Prior to that the Mustang owner had owned it for 8 years.

We got into the practice, back in the 70's and 80's in V8 performance engines, to build the bottom end to withstand 1,000 rpm more that what it should see at redline. I've only had one engine break, and that was due to the addition of NoS that wasn't accounted for during the build. We had no other failures other than when the customer chose to finish assembling the longblock themselves. Most often this would be a small block Chevy where they re-used the original oil pump pickup tube and then used too much RTV on the oil pan, allowing a pinched off bead of RTV to get sucked past the screen on the pickup tube and seize the oil pump. Chevy screens detach from the inside of the pick tube's can when too much sludge builds up to prevent oil starvation, and then when they use it during the rebuild it gets sucked right into the pump. The other cause is dirt getting into the engine, destroying the bearings.

In may 1988 I took a job selling Mazda's Porshe and Audi. I was young never sold cars but was a prove closer. I was told import buyers are different you needed to know the product for my first 2 weeks I was instructed to study all the models and drive them. There was a spot one could go to put your foot down without worry on Dow Chemical property. So I got around to the 89 Turbo II that was it .. guess what car was the first one I sold ;) yep a turbo II guy came in to buy a 911 when I price qualified him I told him for his money the RX7 was just as fun as the 944s4 , our 911 was a dog and his buget was realy 924 money but I said you can get for a little more a R7 Turbo II a drive out to my spot he couldn't pull 5K out of his pocket fast enough to make his offer. I got $2k over sticker ;) I didn't even know how to do the paper and wasn't supposed to even take-ups shit happens. I would still take the 944 s4 but for the money ;)

Always love seeing shops use schedule 40 tubing for exhaust manifolds. Cant tell you the number of times I had rx7's come into the old shop where I worked and complain about some e-bay special manifold that cracked/broke............. Though I'm not a fan of lapping irons. In my experience the nitrating depth is inconsistent. I've lapped and the motor was fine after considerable miles, however I've lapped and the engine went to pot in 4k miles. Just the one iron that I lapped........... (of course I ate the rebuild)

The first one I thought I must have done something wrong, because it was just the 1 iron. The side seals just dug right into the iron, scored up the surface..........Well you know how that goes. Fortunately the customer brought it back quickly as soon as it started hard starting a little bit. When I seen the rear housing was lower on comp. (if memory serves +-20-25% lower) than the front housing I knew something mechanically was up. But what confused me at the time was it was all 3 faces. Anyhow got it apart and that's what I found. The rear iron was all scored up from the side seals. And that one was lapped. After I rechecked my build log, I chalked it up to maybe a side seal/s were harder than they were supposed to be. Other than the rear it was beautiful. Actually I was quite pleased otherwise. It was my first time getting to see a NRS 3mm 1pc seal working with JHB housings. (well first time getting to check one out with significant miles and abuse on the combo) Some time down the road from that one (couple of years if I remember right) I had it happen again. Same exact symptom. But this time it was the rear face of the intermediate iron. After that we stopped doing it. More as a precautionary measure, "just encase" to eliminate a variable. Some time later I heard Pineapple ran into the same issue. Though I heard that 2nd,3rd or 4th hand so I don't know that to be true.

Nice work lads, it sounds like a 3 cylinder version of my CR 500 minus the Turbo of course. That was a Mega difficult job, though I would recommend a heat shield on that Turbo before it melts something. Would like to see it performing up the road. Oh and the sleeper bit I think is blown with that noise going on. I had a real Sleeper, as quiet as it was standard and even very nearly sounded the same too but if you ever open the throttle past half way people knew then it wasn't standard by the sudden Growl coming from the motor and the carby Snorting sound it made apart from the fact the front end lifted a lot & the car took off, but nothing like 700 HP on this build, but the difference between my rig and this one is I had tail shaft Twisting power at 1200 revs..

good idea using permatex 609 thread lock on the side housings and corner seals to keep everything in place during the build.

We dont....Did I miss something or did you see a bottle of thread lock near the assembly area and mistook it for an actual applied product? The only thing that foes on the side housings and corner seals is assembly lube?

Hey Adam, nice build! I enjoyed watching your work on the classic 79 RX7. Had a couple suggestions on the videography. The fade in and out on the stills was a bit much especially as fast as you cut from scene to scene and the written description didn't last long enough for me to read it, so had to back up and pause, which is no big deal, just interrupts the flow. Otherwise, excellent work. You guys did a bang up job on the custom fab work. I know how much effort we put into building the Turbo RX8 project car with all the custom fab work. I agree with the other comment about the air filter sucking hot air off the heat exchangers needs to be corrected. I don't know why anybody would spend so much money on a build like that (or any build for that matter) and not want to protect the engine and maximize performance as much as possible by avoiding inhaling hot air. I guess he won't really be able to use even half the power its capable of with stock 14" wheels, so hot intake air probably won't make a difference in his application. Gonna melt the rubber right off the rims if he nails it thought. LOL..

Hey Richard hows it goin? you know what funny...when my editor was done with it and I finally watched the entire thing....I picked out the exact same things. I mean exactly those 2 points caught my attention and thus mentioned to him. We agreed it was a bit too late to change it now...especially since we had already taken it down once and reposted. If it wasnt for that repost already I actually would have leaned toward re-doing it. FYI all the vids we have done so far are rushed using from unfinished B-roll. I have never put in full effort due to time. We have the capability to do this with very high end equipment so from my view...nothing I've done so far it what I see as top professional work. Its a balance of time ..as Im sure you can understand. Love the advice...keep it coming!

Have to say that from get go , your build looks like " THE BUSINESS ". Build looks exactly similar to Legendary Mazda 767 C group racing engine build. Tho i think they used titanium on some studs/strengtening bolts. But other than that, it looks absolute joy to see people doing things right the first time and not skipping anything for money or time saving. 10/10

Wow! Wonder what this car weighs. The power to weight rate has to be insane! Not to mention the torque from the rotary.! Hard to be a sleep the sound!

Everything's beautiful - And I hate to be a critic here, I hate to be "that guy" so please try and read this as a QUESTION! Ha-ha. But you had me right up to the point where you've got this truncated foam POD FILTER and it's located right behind the radiator! Wouldn't you rather fabricate an air-box with ducting to a cool air intake, and internal over-sized factory type pleated paper air filter? I mean, I defer to your expertise on all of this other stuff, but it just seems like common sense that you could improve things via ducting & isolation of air flow to the inter-cooler vs radiator vs oil-cooler vs air intake. That's a lot of stuff all vying for that cool air intake & exit flow, but there are ways around all of it, I'm sure YA'LL know just the type of thing I'm talking about. But just to clarify what I mean by that: For starters relocating the oil cooler and if necessary all the way to the back bumper or perhaps split it up and relocate it to the front or rear wheel-wells? Old's-Cool Grand Prix type air-flow ducting. Which is to say separationpanels aft of &/or between/above/below the RAD(s) &/or OIL-cooler(s), angled to minimize baffling, channels made from super lightweight thin grade alloy/Carbon sheets & even corrugated plastic pipe if necessary, (with home heat-vent rectangular to oval to round transition mouldings that are cheap plentiful & lightweight.) All of this stuff could either replace or be integrated into the firewall, weatherproofing, soundproofing, the hood, wheel wells, mud-flaps what HAVE you - Even if it's necessary to the stock appearance, so long as you're only looking at it from the one side then I say it's fair game! Like I say, an OEM style air-box, fabricated from the same lightweight ABS plastic or Nylon if you're good with the blower & stick type plasti-welding (Nylon sucks to plasti-weld imho, & Delrin is nigh impossible to do it reliably due to weaker 'weld' areas etc) Carbon, CPVC iirc has better heat resistance than regular PVC's, maybe good enough for an engine bay - Well EITHER which way, the air-box could be constructed in such a way as to integrate with or incorporate factory grille crap, to use factory filter retainers & lids etc etc - perhaps to double or triple up on the OEM unit for instance, or go all "scientific" by calculating additional CFM's & look to the figures on the K&N oiled POD filters of various types, compare 'em to CFM's on the "factory replacement" air-box type oiled filters, search their catalog for a filter type with your desired CFM's, cross-reference THAT to whichever OEM style fitment it's applicable to - then steal the factory air-box off whatever sort of ... long-haul 18-wheeler rig or ... marine diesel ... locomotive, municipality grade stationary power generator - WHATEVER it's applicable to, you could potentially dig up a decent lightweight plastic HOUSING for said filter, which MIGHT be in a similar type of styrene plastic you wanna build your duct-work from, and so just that filter surround ALONE - not the whole damn air-box 'cause obviously that's gonna be a pain in the ass moving your engine back ANOTHER 100mm-200mm-300mm etc just to squeeze that air-box in! Ha-ha. But so long as it isn't so constrained as to reduce laminar flow etc, the damn thing could be located WHEREVER you wanted it, just so long as it's air inlet is ducted to a decent source of fresh cool ambient AIR! Barring all of THAT ridiculousness, it could just be a matter of letting more air through headlight surrounds & indicator mounts, trim pieces what HAVE you, crests & mouldings, decorative trim etc. All of which could be in discrete "sleeper"/"stealth" ways & means, where even a concors judge would need to grab a vernier caliper & a bone stock NOS part just to prove there's a difference. For instance rounding down square back-side corners of the cast plastic grille even! ANY little thing just to eliminate drag & increase frontal area inlet size - Every little smidge adds up and cumulatively this could produce a sizable fraction more open area - So many other engine mods which squeeze out 10% of this or that, well I'm going out on a limb to say that THIS is one of those areas where it's warranted, going to the fuss & trouble, hassle even, of opening up that space - Definitely so, if you're already refinishing the grille & front end parts. Especially so if you're boosting performance and drastically at that! I don't mean to rant - I ALWAYS type long & rambling like this, so don't go reading it as "vitriol"!))) It's just ... That hood now has one hell of a lot of power under it! And yeah for all intents & purposes the owner's probably never gonna use all of IT - But I can definitely see a shituation where they use up all of their inlet cool air flow. Might not even run out of cooling capacity long enough to damage anything. EXCEPT, of course, the car's absolute performance figures for that given RPM, that given moment - Look at what all ELSE has been done to get to this point - Is it expecting too much, that somebody should now play around with a bit of plastic & Aluminum sheet? Especially when you'd be able to say what you're searching for is "THE COOL FACTOR". Heh-heh. Cool AIR, that is. Well if not, just look at all the trouble somebody went to, just making that pod filter LOOK cool......

Yup hes is doing a cold air system as a part 2. This filter is quite temporary ...same with the temp header back exhaust.
