BMI Racing RX8 4 Rotor

[D16y7nonvtec]

why are there comments crapping on bmi saying they didnt have the first 4 rotor? as far as i know they never said they did. and even if they did ask yourself do i have a 4 rotor baby eating monster? the answer to that question is NO you dont so eat s#!t and die. BMI you rule i wish i had a 4 rotor in my rx8 and was able to afford it. and with all do respect f@#k the madbull mike doesnt even drive it in the states....thank you and have a nice day

[666TECHNO666]

best engine in the world, mad mikes rx7 still sounds better though

[LarryLane07]

would love to commute 124 miles round trip back and forth to work in that. They have to block off the turnpike for me first though.

[mswhong1]

Just wondering, what's the mpg on that? haha

[gpc510]

@mswhong1 we might be talking gpm instead of mpg here

[mswhong1]

gpm? Gallons per mile?

[taiyakiuser]

badass face :D

[ITsIMP0RT4NT]

Why don't you guys have any racing from the cockpit view?? You should take some pointers from the GTchannels choreography.

[NISMODRIFTER481]

Hey BMI i think your a little too late. Mad Mike had it 1st. youtube.com/watch?v=eq7w7110Sk­Q

[bmiusa]

@NISMODRIFTER481

yes he had an RX7 4 Rotor - we saw that at the Redbull World Championships.......We are the first in an RX8

[FPSdaybreaK]

@NISMODRIFTER481 scoot sports had it before him

[Brembo240SX]

If you guys look at the date this was also back in 2009 when it may have been the only 4 rotor.

[2009andy27]

the four that didnt like it are ford a chevy faggots that know theyd get woopd by this 8

[sonny94y]

4 rotors is becoming so common these days, still fuckin sick tho!

[JosephCote27]

@sonny94y

4 rotors are common? wtf are you smoking?!?!

[sonny94y]

@JosephCote27 lol well not that common but theres a few round now

[Benji19922]

4 bogans have been beaten by a car with no pistons

[packerdmohar1]

whats the HP and 0-60 time?

[BUZDRIFT]

Australian Made (go Aussie)

[emtildeath]

Sorry to inform you, but this is not the worlds only 4 rotor RX 8, I have seen 4 different 4 rotor RX 8's at track days in the UK :-)

[bmiusa]

@emtildeath wow 4 different RX8's with 4 Rotors that pretty impressive, how long have the been running for? are they with the 13B housings or the 12A. I know of one 4 Rotor in a RX7 in Norway......

[emtildeath]

@bmiusa To be honest I don't know which engines they are using. But they did start popping up not much aftr your car first made its appearence. I think I know the Norwegian 4 rotor you are talking about, an evil little car it is. I know of one 4 rotor Rx7 in the UK, but its not a competition car, its some rich kid that had it built just because he had the money. I will look up the info and paste it either here or on your Facebook profile.

[armedturtle]

@bmiusa

tits dude, theyve been building 4 rotors on everything

[00unknownmember00]

@emtildeath sorry to inform you, but u are a troll

[emtildeath]

@00unknownmember00 PMSL, yeah whateverr :-)

[jameswade2002]

There appears to have been a substantial amount of chassis work done to this car. It might have started out as a factory RX-8 or body in white, but how much of that is left now? What is the significance of it being represented as an 8? I might could also argue that there is nothing all that special about a 13B OR Renesis based PP 4 rotor but I feel a more pertinent question would be to ask how this power plant is any better than a piston engine with similar external dimensions? R26B? LSX?

[eurokid83]

How would you go about raising the compression on a Wankel? A different shape on the rotor?

[meifert2]

i want to see a 4 rotor, twin turbo Miata now.

[SYSPLUCK]

@meifert2 No, an FB would be cooler. 

[666TECHNO666]

@meifert2 you do not need any turbos with these engines, they are powerful enough n/a

[xXning3nXx]

Next, I want to see a QUAD turbo 8 Rotor RX-3. With a 750 shot of nitrous.

On a 45 inch lift kit!!!!

XD What an amazing RX-8. Cant wait to scope out the rest of your vids.

[ongxiong91]

Fockkk yeeessss

[00unknownmember00]

is the motor scratch built? coz if so that's even more amazing!

[Off2theGym1987]

OMG!!!!

[iPROFITDON]

Thing sounds like sex on the track. But just revving it sounds like a bad running 4mil Banshee.

[Marillionado]

Wankels are the best. Great to see the Norton rotary, even if for just a moment there.

[worldtraveler2500]

sounds great!!!

[usingtheforce47]

this thing is a dream..... the sound is just intoxicating, if jedis' drove a car they would drive this

[usingtheforce47]

this thing is a dream..... the sound is just intoxicating

[Clabbe123]

I'm in love!

[mongoangry]

was this a factory R26B or a custom build by your shop?

[98bmw328i]

it sounds alot like the 787B and what a FUCKING GROUND SHAKING SOUND!

[dukedub]

I (wearing the 787b shirt) talked with the builder and sat inside this when bmi came to fd seattle in 2010, cool guy and cool car and beast sound!

[rotarycorvette1]

only with a rotary do see people gather too listen the music!

[bud296]

how am i just now seeing this..

[sqd8r]

Amazing car, thx. keep the rotary alive baby!

[bigguns1997]

SOUND IS SO AMZING such a sexy car

[edoloman24]

how many horsepower is it

[xxxffs]

Goddamn hairdresser got power :D

[funnykevin57]

Soo, uhh how much mpg?

[mauricioalfredo83]

NICE but RE Amemya have done it several years ago whit a FD3S ;)

[preludefan]

very nice

[mongoangry]

where are you guys located?

[brapboys503]

Oh crap, I just blew a fat load.

[XxEggy23xX]

how much was it for al the parts?

[flyinpolak]

ok the infamous question... how fast does it go and how fast does it get there LOL

[extradrybeer]

fukn weapon. F-1 like.

[mytallestkitty]

Shot gun!

[M1911A1]

BTW, that is the most awesome sounding car......ever..

[M1911A1]

BMI, can you PLESE tell me what type of paint was used on this car? I love that type of grey and want to use it on my project car.

[HeavyGhost]

@M1911A1 Just looks like primer gray with a few clear coats to me.

[GTRMeister]

@M1911A1 I think it is the Grigio Medio, same as the Ferrari uses on their special order Ferraris...

[akademiks604bc]

is that a renisis 26b??? what kinda 26b is it

[scorps59]

im in love

[t0msw1ft]

I spy a Norton NVR588 right next to this awesome beast!

[ACMilanAirsofter22]

OH SWEET SWEET SWEET LOVLEY MUSIC TO MY EARS I NEED THIS SOUND ON MY 240SX

[9stevo2]

sounds like a...rc truck on roids or something haha

[flyinpolak]

@9stevo2

LOL exactly what i thought

[maddog8911capt]

Do you guys sell your 4 rotor motor? I have a slightly wrecked RX-8 and would love to put one in it as its going to be a weekend track car.

[horeR34]

Australian's love there rotors and RB's :)

[tredeep]

I just came...: )

[nfelge]

Had one down in Arizona today, driven by Jeff Jones.

THE showstopper.

My ears blew up, and i loved every second it was running.

[AnalogRocks]

Is that really the way it sounds or were you overloading the camera mic?

[Rx7Force101]

No rotor no motor bitches...!

[remembe12x28foREVer]

this thing is just fucking... demonic... theres no other word for it... i want one lol

[dahcchad1983]

i love it!! i just wish mazda would mass produce 26b's and put them in every vehicle they make.. super awsomo!

[odertube]

@dahcchad1983 I would settle for the 20b. 600BHP ain't so bad for 2.0L.

[53295m]

sounds nice and keep up the good work

[jjfortuna]

Maravilha de som e força !!!

[razioth]

holy shit this thing revs up so fast

notice the very small amount of time it takes to hit the limiter

lol

[wtfyourafuckindoosh]

what an absolutly gorgeous machine :) godlike motor and wicked wide body ;) dont crash please :)

[JumpmanJRH]

Awesome!!!!! No sound quite like that :)  Makes me miss my RX-8 a little, but I like my Vehicross way more ;) 4 Rotor engine is amazing, great work, top notch, and the paint/ rims/tires/details on the car are very professional looking, sharp car all around!

[iCrunchyNutt]

can you say... THROTTLE RESPONSE

[youngwun2789]

were you sponsored by mazda?

[rx7dren]

i like the custom air box for the IDA's

[53295m]

good job it sounds great and i hope you will know of more ways to built a 4 rotor too not that yours isnt great but there is more to it, good luck

[Pigioto1]

Such a kick ass machine! haha

I just saw it earlier today for the first time up close at JRX.

[rbrtp]

how much $ do i need to turn my 8 in that beast ? and how fast do u clear a 1/4 mile

[Coyote27981]

How precise is the throttle control with those slide throttles? it sounds as if its going from idle to OMFG, in no time.

[bmiusa]

@buzdrift thanks for your comments everyone is entitled their opinion, firstly we arem Down Under not Americans, yes Mad Mike does have a 4 rotor in a RX7 - we have said that we have the only one in a RX8 If you like you can give us a call (or we can call you) to discuss the car

[CRAZYSTOO]

@bmiusa I'm a really big fan of your work!

[BUZDRIFT]

Oh and he has a rx7 , a much better looking car

[BUZDRIFT]

ahhahaha the first ever no no no MAD MIKE has a quad rotor 26B hes from newzealand.. yous americans think yr the first to do everything.

It will be an american first.

[sof1map]

how often would it need rebuilding?

[toyotasupra3l]

nice very nice , 4rotors waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

[rb26kinigos]

enythin in the world can`t make that noise

[manning2g09]

Most impressive 20b Ive ever heard!!!!!! Amazing job bmiusa !!!!!!

[20balvin]

@manning2g09

hahaha 20b hahahaha

hahahahhahaha

[taufan8687]

wow man, wow..

[shinobi1203]

holy shit~ revs soo fast

[Ehncyclomedia]

Was 5 feet away from it at wall stadium during practice. Tannner was reving his scion with the TRD V8 and I couldn't even hear it over this thing while it was idling. Loudest thing I've ever heard.

[AlMarshRotorsport]

You might have to change your intro on the video because this is not the only 4 rotor rx8 in the world!

We are currently building a 4 rotor rx8 endurance car in New Zealand.

[marcusd666]

You can't beat the sound of the 4 rotor, but I don't think the wife would let convert our rx8 to something like this. Well done guys you have done a really great job.

[eflecha]

The world's only 4 rotor RX-8????????? Hajajajaja Puerto Rico had two back in 2004.5 when it had just arrived.

[coleandrobert]

where do the other two rotors go compared to the normal two rotor street car? thats amazing though, i think every RX8 should be like this haha

[shearinre]

Why not really race the car, not do stupid drifting.

[dmanagua]

sounds crazy. what kind of exhaust is it running?

[motorsportman1]

does that have a slide throttle set up ?

[xJ3R3M14Hx]

i saw this at sema, this is a great example of passion in the automotive industry.

[Paperairpain]

Hey awesome car! I was wondering how long is the motor block? A guy said its almost if not a bit shorter then a LS7... Now him not having one I don't think he is right, It looks a few inches longer. Anyway awesome car guys. Any shot you guy be racing in the pacific northwest say around Portland anytime?

[simdes13]

Wow nice setup

[stang9804]

complete sickness!!!!!!

[romanosalvatore]

Wow, engine bay is super clean..best I've ever seen.

[JissenKenbuu]

Rumor is 615 WHP. I know you probly cant talk about the exact number but how close is it to that? And BMIUsa, Is brian Wilkerson going to be driving this monster for Formula D? If he is you couldnt have picked a better guy. Brian wilkerson is balls to the wall all the time and he is soooo skilled of a driver. Goodluck this year.

[AerodynamicFlow]

Bring this to Canada, please?

[KnifesRfun93]

does anyone know HP? anyways great souding and great looking car, nice job with it

[rx7dren]

i hate to see short videos of rotary, makes me think they broke down

[arghone]

that sounds FUCKING COOL!

[bogus67]

Nice, but a few seconds on a road course is NOT enough. You guys have had a T O N OF TIME to get to a 1/4 mile or Willow Springs and goose the juice. What are you afraid of? I am really reducing this project to all goose and no juice! Sound is not enough!

[DriftkingS2K]

show us ur 4 rotor rx-8 then u can complain ....

[dcskinx]

Very very cool. Awesome work!

[de0ndre]

I came.

[rx7dren]

@de0ndre

then i went and came again

[DonovanxPetersen]

Wholy piss. XD I don't even understand why that beast was created !. Sick car. Even better motor.

[Mistadobalinask8]

OMG the sound is FUCKING amazing!

[branton001]

When will this be hitting the track and/or any chance of some more test day action?

Cheers, and good luck

[bmiusa]

We preparing for Formula Drift, as long everything goes to plan, this will be its first event - and we are looking forward to it!

Thanks for the support

[20bking]

In about 4 months you won't be the only running around in a 4 rotor rx8.

[bmiusa]

Awesome, it will be good to see another 4 rotor getting around. Is this the one in Miami?

[20bking]

Yup he's from Miami. I can't wait to hear it or one day run it when i move back to my home city too.

[romanosalvatore]

@bmiusa Is it currently in Miami?!?!? I'll be there as of NOW!

[subeefan]

@bmiusa i think he is talking about the Badbull man mike RX8 it looks...ight

[TreVox]

@bmiusa hey hey just wanna ask if you guys got in Formula Drift yet? Would like to have a look at it if you do..

[akosiCoco]

[KilluaV8]

What's the name of the music theme? More specifically, the one from 0:45 to 1:25.

[bmiusa]

We Are Rockstars - Does It Offend You?

Is the name of the song (also from the Fast & Furious movie)

[zanthraxnl]

And the song at the start?

[KilluaV8]

Thank you.

If it's not much to ask, I would also like to know the one in the beggining. I though it was the same, just being cut and replayed again.

[bmiusa]

Its the start of DJ Jamie Norman - Best of 2008 Mix

[KilluaV8]

Thanks once again!

[lpu301]

the worlds only NA 4 rotor rx8........ive seen/ know where a TURBO 4 rotor rx8........cool vid though

[TheCrf450dude]

2:00 best hair style ftw

[chad174670]

how many gallons per mile are you getting?

[mikemrrymn]

is there a flywheel, u moron..

i saw this car at sevenstock 09, that thing is LOUD and if I recall they said about 500 or 550 HP

[bmiusa]

We currently use a Tilton 5.5" Carbon/Carbon clutch, with a Tilton race flywheel.

[ShrumPotter]

how much power can u squeeze out of that thing?

[csmith5810]

sounds like a weed eater

[sstrawsburg]

did my comment get deleted?

[bmiusa]

@sstrawsburg

Hi I sent you an email

[1newb]

damn u gotta love that rotary sound >.>

[Techn9neAlbum]

Bogus, you're about a dumb shit. Don't "estimate" unless you know what you're talking about.

[bogus67]

There are few 4 rotor cars to compare.

I likely weighs hundreds more than a 787b.

It likely makes less than 730 hp like a 787b.

2700 lbs and 600 hp is my guess.

0-60 maybe 4 seconds.

Qm maybe 9.0 @ 155

T.S. 185-200 mph.

Bye.

[chegafonya]

dude , wow, love it, so how fast does it go 0 to 60?

[NorthShoreInnovation]

are those sliding vane throttle bodies?

[bowlcutsaresweet]

Is there a flywheel on that thing? Incredible car.

[mehmehxxx]

oooommmmmgggggggg I just completely nuted myselffff and am now in the process of cleaning up.....
