rotaries - Amazing engines if you know what your doing....But....I'm sorry anyone who would rather take a 13b over a LS1 is just simply fucking retarded
@ahsi88 only people who thinks rotaries arent reliable are the ones who dont know how they work and how to maintain them properly. run premix, dont overboost, run a reasonable port with a decent tune and itll last you forever.
I use to own a rx8. Key word was "use" to own... It was the biggest piece of shot I have ever owned. The only thing the car had going for it was handling. (I currently have a supercharged slk Mercedes and a ford lightning, and use to own a 03 gt mustang so I have been around sports cars...) Mazda RX cars are about as dependable as a crack whore. Piston engines all the way! (preferably with blowers)
I love how nobody on Youtube take's physics into a play, ya it weighs the same as the rotory but it's center body of gravity changed dramaticly due to placement of weight, since the rotory
makes it a front-mid engine car. People!!! A german genius & japanses manufacturing icon made this engine vs abunch of people who never majored physics and high level engineering who post comments on youtube!?!?! My vote goes with the german genius and japanese icon.

When you invest funds, time, and effort into someones car then maybe you'll be justified in complaining about the outcome.. Otherwise, please stop hating.. You sound like children.. -_-
i challenge any ls1 to a race with my fc thats a fair trade ill waste you and i have bald tires done beat to many vettes and if theres a turn ill weaste you more check my tuning vids in 1st gear
I would rather not own or drive another RX7 ever again than to drive a 7 with a damn V6-V8 in it. Its no longer an RX7 at that point. I dont care about the hooplah with people sayin" The LS1 is umpteen pounds lighter than this engine and that engine". How about I buy a Old school nova and drop a 2JZ or RB26 in it. Rednecks all across the planet would shit a brick. I dont mean to seem ignorant or beligerent by any means, but I just cant fathom destroying such a beautiful work of art like the RX7
@pdpdrummerboi Why would we care? Nova came with an I4 and I6.....and those weren't engines to be proud of either in those times... so why care about it? Matter of fact, a lot of old school cars came with I4/6... No biggie...
@pdpdrummerboi Id love to see someone drop a 2jz in an old school Nova. Why, because its an improvement. An old 327 wouldn't hold a candle to the 2jz that's replacing it.
Just like the rotary doesn't hold a candle to the LS1 in a RX7 street car. Sorry if that makes you anus hurt. :)
@originaldriver 26b Would be a better battle to ls1, and You can't say they don't sound better and perform better then a ls1, and for oil drinking, If it wasn't built by a redneck you'd have no problems with that
@Cenon2007 Have you heard a 266b before? I can understand you saying an LS1 sounds better than a 13b for sure or a 20b to an extent but the 26b is awesome sounding. Look it up.
@noshabibis ummmm i think you forgot about the handling... and with a done right rotary they're fast as shit. the reason EVERYBODY swaps lsx into their cars because its a reliable great amount of horsepower.theres a rotary car out there somewhere that will kick most piston engines asses and vice versa theres no way to say one type is better than the other.also theres probably 10x more ppl working a developing piston engines so imagine if the rotary had that support for so many years
@marlinbike "originaldriver" "At over 400lbs, the 20b is heavy as shit for its size. And there's good reason for this. The rotary is made entirely of cast iron. (myth busted)
And yes, they do make excellent track motors, but only such. (Presuming that you have ample cash, the car is trailor'd and there is plenty of fuel on standby.) The fact is, other than a higher redline, they dont offer a single performance gain over an LS1.
Not power, not longevity and certainly not efficiency... nothing."
to bad its not rotary motor. LS1 is fast cheap power. you should at have gone LS7 like the big boys here is houston. Lmk if you want a link and ill show you how its really done.
I agree that an LS1 is a great motor, but i wouldnt call it a "powerhouse". And it sounds terrible in comparison the the original mazda motor. Oh, and the last thing, tell the shop that built it to give your money back, motor swap 101 "ALWAYS line up number 1 spark plug with shock tower".
@SharpyBoy221 Always line up the number 1 plug with the shock tower?It'll never happen with a v8 unless you cut the fire wall out and use the back half of the motor as an arm rest. Its obvious your a 4 cylinder/rotary guy
@jdubcbr600 What i prefer to drive is not the issue, just stating that good "rule of thumb" is proper alignment, Though its easier to "slap a motor in and call it done", that just leads to problems down the road, just my experience over the past decade.
@ogloc61 At what point does my sexuality mean that I am wrong? Your misuse of "your", instead of "you're" tells me that you are poorly educated, but I am not going to call you names.
@mrjurun 342 into a 98 ranger, 5.0 into an 96 mustang, with 4.6 computer, tuned, repined, running. 6.0 into s-10, about to put ej25 into a 70's bug. So what is your point to question me?
@SharpyBoy221 what is the bore and stroke on the 342, what crank? Whats repined? Which computer, what did you do about the passkey? I would hope running, or what's the point. What did you do about oilpan clearance in the s10? 70?bug and how far do you plan on moving the firewall(yes I know it's in the back)? I should've questioned your grammar first, then your so called resume thats the point in questioning you.
wut is the point of having a rx7 if you arent going to have a rotary. the whoel point of a rx7 is to have that rotary. that is why mazda built rx7 and rx7...to have a rotary not a fucking ls1 -.-
it is very stupid to have that in there. stop playing around and take it out. put a ls1 in something else like a bmw or something...
@aznnubbyboy Your comments are unfounded and purely your own stupid opinion.
The point, as it's apparently not obvious enough, is this: this high torque engine coupled with the light weight body of the RX-7 makes for a pretty quick car without forced induction. To me, that's a pretty smart move and ingenious.
Impressive work on the car. Are you going to add forced air via supercharger or turbo? Might want different gears in that case, unless you have tons of extra tires >=)
jesus fucking christ! all you fucks need to shut up, there will be rotary's that beat 4cyls, 6cyls, v8s v10s v12s and there will be rotary's that will loose to all of em. you can pretty much make any motor have alot of power, you can pretty much make any car fast. i honestly believe if you wanna go fast for cheap, get a LS1 and twin turbo it, lots of power and not alot of money.
@adam3176 Yes, torqueless... meaning that you have to rev the ever loving shit out of them to get to a usable powerband. And while doing so, a rotary will burn as much oil as this ls1 burns gas getting there, since the silly things are sealed by flinging oil inside the rotor housing. (WTF?)
The RX7 chassis happens to be light enough to negate a lot of this, however, you risk grenading the apex seal/motor on even the slightest, most miniscule episode of detonation
@originaldriver 20b is also lightweight .... and it sounds cool...... imo, turbo rotors are awesome. also dual and tripple rotors are seriously bad ass for the track.
@fleetfeet2004 At over 400lbs, the 20b is heavy as shit for its size. And there's good reason for this. The rotary is made entirely of cast iron. (myth busted)
And yes, they do make excellent track motors, but only such. (Presuming that you have ample cash, the car is trailor'd and there is plenty of fuel on standby.) The fact is, other than a higher redline, they dont offer a single performance gain over an LS1.
Not power, not longevity and certainly not efficiency... nothing.
@originaldriver i love ls1 swaps but for track only because daily driving rotary is amazing and you'll fall in love. idk why but most of us do. but to you saying that they certainly are not efficient you couldnt be more wrong. gas efficiency yeah they suck but as a motor its one of the most efficient if not the most efficient motor ever made. NO movement in a rotary motor is wasted, unlike a piston engine where only 25% of the movement actually goes to powering the car.
A piston engine applies more mulitiplied force to the crankshaft since it has a greater stroke distance from the rotational axis of the crankshaft than the sproket of a rotor would have against the axis of the non-concentric shaft.
A typical 2-rotor engine produces 12 combustion events in 720 deg of rotation as compared to a v8's 8 events. Proof positive that the LS v8 provides more torque with fewer combustion events and better thermo-mechanical efficiency.
@originaldriver, 20b is a race bred motor, all rotor's are, if you drive them high in the rev range like they should be (always above 3500rpm), then you have your torque, but yes they drink hard, dont get me wrong this Ls1 is a nice setup but 20b's and 26rb's have ther place,,, on a track=win
@originaldriver The one thing that made this car so different from the rest was removed and replaced.This is NO LONGER an Rx-7.FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@dre5491 What ignorance,50/50 weight out the window,PURE sports car NOMORE!Piece of shit rotary you say,thats why chevy copied its body lines.Power to weight,NO ONE else comes close.Being that i have a 3rd gen rx-7 NOTHING handles like it,so good luck with your piss-ton motor.REAL motors comes with ROTORS!
@babot6 Are your feelings hurt?Horizontally opposed in whose world,not when it comes to an Rx-7.They took the RX out of the 7 by putting a Piss-ton motor in it.And by the way,learn to spell WTF is [yous trollin].fagot6
I couldn't help but notice that the speedometer wasn't working. Hopefully you got that problem fixed b4 you got a surprise in your rear view mirror. lol
i feel so bad that you have to deal with all these stupid tubers that have to point out every little imperfection. it takes a lot of time, money, and hard work to build something like this, i believe it deserves recognition. what a sick little toy i would love to own something like that.
having owned an Rx7 for so long......it just sounds wrong for an rx7 to sound like that......lol. I don't think I could ever cheap out and stick a V8 in my 7.
@jdubcbr600 what I mean was, I cant go to the dark side and swap in a V8. I love my rotary, no matter how many rebuilds. Been boosting 500hp for over 2 years in my 1.3l rotary with over 5000 miles, she's been running perfect. I believe its the tune that matters in how healthy and long a motor survives, doesn't matter if its rotary or piston.
@soul111smasher i guess your too stupid, that rotary will never be this fast, all torque, no need for high rev... good combo light ass fuck..... watch out...
@IEatMnMs whats wrong with it.. I drove a 620 hp e36 daily for the last 1 1/2 years without a speedo & guess how many times i got pulled over.......... 1, & that was for my lights being too bright.
@IEatMnMs Most higher end GPS sytems have speedo programs that are acurate to the meter. just use that for a quick fix if you have the wrong sized wheels or what ever.
@viperss2010 neither of those are true. dohc v8 don't have the intake coming straight from the front and LS engines don't have the underwater "blub blub blub" like sound of the dohc heads on the mustang engines
@southplainsREBELS the fuel economy isn't that bad, not if they produce the same horsepower. but I agree with ya, apex seals ftl. on the other hand, when there's something wrong with the rotary it will actually continue to run for quite a while, whilst a piston engine can definitely produce itself alot of damage. we'll just see how mazda handles the 16x engine. maybe they're gonna fix some of the rotary's big drawbacks.
@moham7ad Naa just trying to tell u how stupid u look by posting comments like that but w/e its ur life u can do w/e/ u want....u trying to start a youtube argument? r u a youtube gangster? do u talk shit on youtube all the time? <----I can do it too :)
@bobbywayne310 you're arguing with "the annoying guy" about a "stupid comment" which i think is pretty stupid on your behalf. BAM RIGHT IN THE KISSER!
your mistaken. look at 99-04 mustang gts, f bodies, any muscle car from back in the day. and look at the v6 camaros and mustangs today. way better hp/tq curves, way better 1/4 times, way better gas mileage than the previous v8s. that saying is no longer true, technology has came a long way.
@southplainsREBELS good technology? I don't see any good technology in an ls1, I'm sorry. I'd stick to the rotaries. they have huge potential at a quarter of the volume.
rotary guys wouldnt be so mad if it was a JDM V8 going in like ISF or Tundra 5.4 w/trd blower.. closed minded peeps wake up...thank you Hinson for doing these kits and keeping FDs 'out there' as a cool project option. Wankel wouldnt care
the rx7's body dynamics is built for the lightweight rotary engine. I cannot understand why people swap ls for rotaries. the 50/50 weight distribution is a great deal in its handling.
hmmm i own FD, ive shitted on LS1 swapped FDs, by the way continue to lower the value of the Rx7 by getting rid of the rotary, smart move, might as well bought a Miata....
@bontis101 theres nothing wrong with the rotary engine besides the fact that your limited to power output. ls1s are one of the greatest engines ever built period.so much power can be put out with simple mods. im a ford/gm guy and rx-7/supra/skyline/evo/sti are beast also. but an ls1 on a rx-7 is creating a beast period. but i can see what your saying if the rx-7 were to be a collectable which it would be one day. then putting a ls1 is just stupid but oh well thats his car not yours or mines
I find it amusing that reading through half of these comments that most of you dont have the competence to even understand how a rotary motor works. And for who ever said "The LS1 is actually not that much physically larger than the stock rotary" your fucking retarded..
rotaries - Amazing engines if you know what your doing....But....I'm sorry anyone who would rather take a 13b over a LS1 is just simply fucking retarded

jdubcbr600 2 months ago
@jdubcbr600 what I mean was, I cant go to the dark side and swap in a V8. I love my rotary, no matter how many rebuilds. Been boosting 500hp for over 2 years in my 1.3l rotary with over 5000 miles, she's been running perfect. I believe its the tune that matters in how healthy and long a motor survives, doesn't matter if its rotary or piston.

@southplainsREBELS the fuel economy isn't that bad, not if they produce the same horsepower. but I agree with ya, apex seals ftl. on the other hand, when there's something wrong with the rotary it will actually continue to run for quite a while, whilst a piston engine can definitely produce itself alot of damage. we'll just see how mazda handles the 16x engine. maybe they're gonna fix some of the rotary's big drawbacks.

your mistaken. look at 99-04 mustang gts, f bodies, any muscle car from back in the day. and look at the v6 camaros and mustangs today. way better hp/tq curves, way better 1/4 times, way better gas mileage than the previous v8s. that saying is no longer true, technology has came a long way.

the rx7's body dynamics is built for the lightweight rotary engine. I cannot understand why people swap ls for rotaries. the 50/50 weight distribution is a great deal in its handling.

@bontis101 theres nothing wrong with the rotary engine besides the fact that your limited to power output. ls1s are one of the greatest engines ever built period.so much power can be put out with simple mods. im a ford/gm guy and rx-7/supra/skyline/evo/sti are beast also. but an ls1 on a rx-7 is creating a beast period. but i can see what your saying if the rx-7 were to be a collectable which it would be one day. then putting a ls1 is just stupid but oh well thats his car not yours or mines
