[ALTENATIVE0PUNKS]

iron maiden!!!!!!!

[herbienbrian2]

this is so great, I hope there will be a video of it running soon.

It looks so nice to, you spent some time on this one.

[aaroncake]

So here's part 1 posted 3 years ago...Any more parts?

[snorky2208]

god they are one ugly car

[RedStaryPuu]

uneven numbers of rotors seem to have lots of problems balancing problems mainly at lest from i noticed so id just stik with pairs of 2 4 if your even crazyer and what far past 1500hp you could go to 6 .... maby even 8

[aaroncake]

@RedStaryPuu This is a production Mazda engine, the 20B. There are no balancing issues. And it's not exactly trivial to build a 4 (or 6, or 8) rotor either. Large rotor count engines (and there have been very few, mostly prototypes) carry their own problems like eccentric shaft flex and lack of torsional ridgitity.

[RedStaryPuu]

@aaroncake true but that dos not mean evry one makes wankels to mazdas standerds , mazda makes rly good wankels i deal with wankels evry once in a while but there not from mazdas there from russian vehicles and tripels over around here in the balkans "im Albanian" rattel alot and 2 and 4 seem to be fine russians if you did not know made quite a bit of stuff with wankels in them and still make lots of replacement parts

[aaroncake]

@RedStaryPuu Yes, but in this video, it is a Mazda 20B, not a foreign engine of some kind. If the Russian engines are of poor quality, why bother with them when doing a conversion? The Mazda 20B in this video is very reliable and doesn't have balance problems. Then a larger multi-rotor (5+ rotors) from any manufacturer is going to have the same issues just due to its length. Look at the Mazda 4 rotor: they have a bearing at every iron due to shaft length.

[Gavinlance]

Dude wtf would you use an rx 5 shell ??

[DemoFly]

@Gavinlance Because they're old school and awesome? It's not like hes ruining the 20b...you can take it out and put it in anything.

[aaroncake]

@Gavinlance Easy answer: 20B Vintage Cosmo.

WARNING!!...........This video carries an infection...........its called the aji8 bullshit bug.....careful now.....its contagious!!!

[yukiotakata]

classic car check.

classic song check.

you cant go wrong with that!

is the little beast finished?

[TyLiermann]

Typical aji8 trolling any video with a rotary. Just ignore him.

[burnout1981]

ROFL the motor looks really small in there =P

[aji8]

The rotary engine is junk. Get a piston engine in there and be happy.

[Agile3100]

power to weight ratio. learn it

[aji8]

20B Cosmo is no 13B. It is heavy! Learn that you don't know what you are talking about and you will be better off.

[Agile3100]

compared to a piston motor making equivelent power and torque...no, not really. See, I actually do know what im talking about

[aji8]

No you don't know what you are talking about, actually you really have no clue as an identical weight piston motor can vary incredibly in displacement and performance.

[Agile3100]

@aji8 name one piston motor that is equal in weight and power to the 20B? Just one.

[aji8]

With a weight of around 350 kg with accessories, turbos and manifolds, and 300 h.p. I would say PLENTY of piston engines...LOL

[FATMIKED5183]

5* for Maiden!

[adriandrifter13]

haha nice run for the hills! badass rotary good mix ;)

[Ruzzia]

5 stars for iron maiden

[xcruzrr6]

Iron Maiden. Reminds of the first Carmageddon. The sound of running over pedestrians with Iron Maiden in the background. Awesome game

[Prob1em]

xD, my reaction exactly haha

[pgtv69]

who builds those triple rotar engines??

[trianglepower]

Mazda, was an engine option on the Cosmos in the mid-90's. Came stock with a twin-turbo.

[45Mang]

JDM

[fc3sghost]

Iron maiden!!!! the Trooper =D great song to get to work on

[31144]

Listening to Maiden and playing with tweaked cars,It doesnt get much better than this dude

[Hecubus84]

Old school Rx + 20b x Maiden = Win

You sir, are my new hero.

[TheCordiaMASTER]

ROGERCORDIA HERE: if your contemplating doing a video series of making a engine conversion, can you atleast open your mought and talk. Silence within a series that you are intending to make will render it crap and not interesting.

Listen to the kings orders.

[DickWheels]

UP THE IRONS!!!!

[cody1413]

where do you work to afford that engine? i want it.

[dirtdevil4386bd]

lol i want 1 too for my 2nd gen rx7. they cost around $3000

[sh3lbot]

where are you from HAAA?????????? they cost about 15,000 where i am. brand new 0 kms im talking about tho...

[steverx7]

nice conversion

i think this is the only rx5 20b in the world lol

[13BTRX3]

It wouldn't surprise me. When it is finished it should turn some major heads!!!!

[cozmoguy]

Well how is this project going?

[coopersuperfastguy]

dude thats a sick car and some sick music love the rotarie to! good luck with the build dude should be takken down some v8's in no time

[fc3sghost]

Hahaha an Rx5 with iron maiden.... nice!!! and its the trooper hahaha/

[markdaddy]

Nothing like some Maiden when around rotaries :P

Cool vid

[bigmoosen]

i hear iron maiden. slick car though.
