RX7 FD3S Tunnel Boost

[sebzero2]

sounds better than any ferrari

[kashrx7]

@sebzero2

So true!!

[sebzero2]

@kashrx7 you goin USC? look out for my brothers white rx7 :)

[MrEleventy2]

10 ppl drive honda civics

[closer2greatness]

@MrEleventy2 10 ppl drive honda civics with cut springs

[Julzilla]

yeh nice compresser surge there mate.....

[xIcarus227]

@Julzilla it's a bov not compressor surge.. noob..

[Julzilla]

@xIcarus227 cool story, needs more dragons.

[xIcarus227]

@Julzilla there's a difference between being clueless and being stupid. you've successfully accomplished both. what you're hearing is a bov.

[Julzilla]

@xIcarus227 umadbro?

[xIcarus227]

@Julzilla cheap kid attitude to cover up the fact that you're wrong. good fight.

[Julzilla]

@xIcarus227 lolsomad

[tumzy187]

WOW this is the perfect replica of how my dream RX7 would look like!

[ricerable]

DaMN!!!!

[bertanderny]

blackwall tunnel :)

[ytk3000]

I'm looking into buying one.

[jpskyline01]

gotta love the RX7!!! way sexier and quicker than that nasty rx8

[ThaFabolousLyfe]

maaannn... thats one beautiful daily driver FD. its real clean, nice job with it.  why did you make it wingless :( that looks like a downforce and grip machine. did i spot a rear diffuser? what are your numbers if you're willing to share :D

[kashrx7]

thanks dude.... I've changed the look of the car and unfortunately the wing didn't go with it so had to go...... I've gone for a more smoother/ sleeker look.... yeah I've got a rear diffuser :-) Numbers in this video were 365hp

[supafly47]

nice car =]

[Dunnezer07]

Sweet rx7 man. How many miles per gallon you getting out of it?

[macluis925]

y dont his hood aline right?

[kashrx7]

It's raised from the back with bonnet raisers

[micky13b]

@kashrx7

Did u notice any drop in underbonnet temps?

[02WRXsuby]

What kinda flutter BOV do you have?

[MuppetNLL]

That isn't a bov! that's the turbo pigeon! omg...

[iroctpi88]

sounds like compressor surge

[GroundZero506]

nice rx7 man, love it :>

[EmericaJRod]

y that wing?

[sammytoddy]

and the little rims

[envythisRoadRunner]

looks weird with the stock rear bumper :/

[kashrx7]

go and read up on aerodynamics before you open your mouth!

[ilikepie45290]

thats a fully functional wing, moron

[TKUIKn1Fz]

Thts Well Mint mate , nice bit of flutter going on there to =P

[rxrotaryguy7]

nice fd

[kashrx7]

thanks dude :)

[MrGaragenation]

love Rx7's fucking awesome cars

[rappytappy]

aerodynamics Or that shit would roll, It's probably got 700+ horses under the hood of that thing, I'm thinking about trading my stang' for one.

[kashrx7]

near 500 at the moment aiming for 700 next year lol

[rappytappy]

sweet Would you race me? :o

[kashrx7]

sure dude :)

[rappytappy]

:), Who'd win? <.<

[Vamp585]

so you have 500 first...then its like 370 in the video (idk bout that even) so now you have 480 but still 500 and goin for 700?? hmmm...that just sounds a bit odd....

[kashrx7]

whatever mate.... I've been through 3 turbos each with different power ratings thats why the numbers vary!

[Jordan94g]

These are the only cars I can accept having huge wings cuz they dont look as bad.

Nice car man

[kashrx7]

sooo true

[Engelados]

everything looks good on an rx-7 the wing is ok... and also aerodynamics doesn't always mean beauty....

[jettagotboost]

take that wing back to the air port.

[njmo]

fuck you. the wing looks nice you dumb ass bitch.

[iNtAlps]

mmm i gotta agree with him, it does look a little too big :P but i do like it

[gruvens]

good deal, I like to hear that. what ride do you have now?

[gruvens]

You're cavitating (flutter) and loading up your turbo which will smoke your bearings. I'm sure you know this though.

[aluminumfalcom]

dosnt anti-lag sound like that too? i could be wrong.

[kashrx7]

I definately don't have anti-lag on my car

[grayfox022]

My bro got a tdr1 or something like that...with t51turbo runnin 500bhp......but its only fast when the turbo kiks in which is about 4000rpm....do you know anything that will make it faster in the low revs?

[kashrx7]

bigger porting or nos would help make the boost come on earlier

[grayfox022]

how much bhp urs got? my bros 490

[kashrx7]

in this video I had about 370 ish on my old turbo... but with my new turbo I reckon around 470-480 ish?

[SunDownPoint]

How do you put a new turbo and not know how much hp you have? If you put a new turbo you would need to dyno test it to have it run properly, and if you dyno'd it how would you not know?

[kashrx7]

That is all true if I had it dyno mapped, but my tuner road maps only

[kashrx7]

That turbo was never pushed to the limit only low boost and was fine for over 2 years with no problem until I sold it

[TPMaster]

sup with that hood fitment? lol either way nice but runnin rich perhaps.. lil too much backfire for my taste tho gotta love the flames right and that compressor surge is killin it.

[oceansfront]

that's hood pop thing is supposed to be the drift look popular in japan.....supposed to keep the engine compartment cooler.

[ZenSkai]

nice anti lag :D gotta love that backfiring system :P

[Zulu747]

You got some flutter. Might wanna get that checked out!

[Kreegsb]

that shit sounds hard fresh car dude

[baviaanshit]

has he anti lag system?

[Dotton83]

yea. it'd look better with a smaller wing and a good kit on the back

[Zando24]

Sweet car!

[203132]

heard of a few pops here and there....

=/

but really nice =)

[int3rl0per]

Also, sounds like he's running it on almost too low revs there. Engine definitely needs some tuning, the exhaust shouldn't be popping like that in near-normal driving conditions.

[launger]

DAT ASS

[SICreation]

ah, nice. jut gotta lose the wing

[stevendeigo]

shit ! that turbo sound nice like bad ass MOFO.

[fan296]

very nice

[kashrx7]

Thanks :-)

[vaporkillz]

wheres the tunnel at?

[kashrx7]

not sure of the name but somewhere in London

[dre1507]

love what u did to the front end. gives it a beast-like aura.

[gogugogu]

whats the MPG ?

[kashrx7]

Pretty good actually.... Best to date is 150 miles on half tank with some motorway driving and some driving it hard

[gogugogu]

thats......unbelievable??

anyway i recently found some economizors .....which reduces the cost up to 10% ( 10% = 10 litres / 100 km )

[PETRAKOV1]

very naice sound :D

[PETRAKOV1]

very best car

[propagandos]

the back of the rx-7 looks just perfect

[XXNERVEXX]

needs some decent wheels then it look shit hot

[kashrx7]

thanks I've got some new ones on... you can see them in my other videos

[matasbrahu]

the spoiler doesnt really need to be there either... the rx7 is such a beautiful car without a spoiler.

just my opinion of course.

[XXNERVEXX]

yeh well said. unless it is there to keep it on the trak fuk it off haha

[piersanti69]

if youve seen the movie transformers you know what i mean.

You remember that "noise" the one in the desert made. and a couple of the other ones.

that what your 7 sounds like.

its scary . but good . lol.

[iononickisbored]

oh i love the stock bov. or lack there of.

it makes up to 3 different sounds depending on boost haha.

ur 7 sounds exactly like mine

[3dscott]

Man that is epic! 5 stars man, amazing amazing amzing

[kashrx7]

thanks dude :)

[444422p]

gangster backfire

[hin6487]

awesome sound, maybe invest in a better video camera, doesn't really do the car justice

had a look at ur other vids as well, car's done up tastefully, well done

[kashrx7]

the video was taken on my friends mobile so quality is a bit rubbish but yeah will invest in a decent camera

[sprijic2]

i love it

[kashrx7]

thanks :)

[probmx666]

dude that compressor surge cant be good for the turbo.

[kashrx7]

it's been running like that for nearly 2 years and no probs what-so-ever, it all depends on the turbo and how much boost you are putting through it...

[CptVXR]

Has it got anti-lag or a bee r rev limiter?

[kashrx7]

no anti-lag or bee r limtier... the pops and bangs are natural when the exhaust gets hot

[CptVXR]

ok thanks :-)

[ThaFabolousLyfe]

oh and i forgot to mention nice sounding BOV. hopefully hes got a large Garrett turbo under the hood.

[kashrx7]

Not running any BOV dude, that sound is compressor surge. In this video I had a HKS T04e which is slighty more powerful then the Garrett version... running about 360bhp

[lejink]

have u had 2 rebuild ur engine? howmuch did u pay? howmuch u got in the car all2gether it looks dope. id kill for a car like that- so make a list n let me know when ur ready 2 part with it :p lol

[ThaFabolousLyfe]

hey frowgli1, shut up. kashrx7 is right. a little bit is better than none. that looks like a GT wing for extreme amounts of downforce, and those little fiber glass piece of shit ones are more so for looks but still help a little. wings help with downforce not just for drag, but for grip and drift. read a fuckin book. and this video was a little dissapointing because i was expecting a 100+ MPH flyby..

[kashrx7]

thanks dude.... finally someone who knows what they are talking about! functionality is better than looks! and as you say downforce is very important at high speeds... keep an eye out on my videos as I have my new turbo run in and mapped and will be doing some nice flybys!

[frowgli1]

lose the bloody wing dude...does nothing for the car unless u constantly move @ an average speed of 150KMH... call me a nerd but ive sorta worked out the drag co-efficiency lol of that spoiler.

[kashrx7]

if you were in my car at the speeds it gets upto every bit of downforce helps, even a big spoiler... I personally dont give a shit if people think it looks big or gay as long as it works thats all I care about!!!

[qazwsxedc225]

rotary owns

[Sjunneh]

I think the wing looks great =D ,, <3 Rx-7's

Rotary owns xD..

Should get some hood vents tho, it looks a little funny with the raised hood..

And a BOV, just to get the nice.. PSSSHHHH!! sound xD...

That's what i would do if i'd have a car lik that :P

I Want one!! :P

[monkman33]

The spacers that are lifting the rear of the hood are pointless. It has already been proven that the area at the bottom of the windshield is a high pressure area, and thusly, you won't help your engine bay temps at all. Other than the the goofy and pointless hod spacers, and the oversized wing, your car looks clean and sounds good.

[trainsearcher]

the rice coment ois gay. its jst a racist way of saying the car looks japanese. I think the wing is a little to big tho

[justcallmebad]

I luv RX7s but that spoiler has GOT TO GO. It makes the car look like rice.

[jackluangs4y]

nah it creates down force but if u put on on a front wheel drive car thats rice

[justcallmebad]

yeah I know but its just that the spoilers not stylish thats why I said that.

[kashrx7]

as jackluangs4y said they create downforce and make the car more stable... this can be seen by the fact that almost every RX7 in competitions in Japan have a spoiler!

[T51RSilvia]

thats one very clean fd.

looks smooth as in white :)

very nice car man great work thumbs up

[Geeitshooey]

e36mmm = fail!!

lol

nice car kash, sure iv spoke to u about sumthing on fduk... DriftR is my forum name

[kashrx7]

It's called bonnet raisers, they raise the back of the bonnet up for releasing heat in the engine bay... shows how much you know... lol

[e36mmm]

you dont know enough which is obvious as an efficient front bar and side vents should be helpful enough for releasing heat instead of raising your bonnet which makes it look ridiculous and nonproffesional. i said bonnets not aligned properly because the sides of the bonnet are also sticking up and your telling me the best way for that heat release issue is bonnet raisers lol. sad indeed!

[kashrx7]

The side vents on the FD are to cool down the brakes not the engine... also if you know about FD's you will know that the stock radiator and intercooler setup doesn't let that much air into the engine and FD's need as much cooling as possible. I wasn't able to afford a vented bonnet at the time which would have solved the issue of releasing heat from the engine bay.

[kashrx7]

I temporarily used the bonnet raisers as a short term fix and whether you believe it or not my air temps were considerably lower in traffic, so yes they do release heat from the engine bay. The bonnet raisers are now off the car as I will be getting a vented bonnet soon... If you have nothing constructive to say please don't post on my videos... I'm not the one who has come on and written some stupid comment on someone else's page... now you tell me who's sad?

[meliketopaintball]

To all those saying that there's no BOV..there is. It's recirculated back into the intake tract. Someone correct me if I am wrong because rotaries are alien motors.

[kashrx7]

There is no BOV trust me

[frowgli1]

no BOV=back pressure=bad for turbo cars.

[Default598]

yeah, but rotaries are known to back fire

[CanAxlHelpYou]

Yeah you're on the money. Every turbo engine has an internal BOV system, it's the after-market ones that make the loud PSSSSHH noise.

[sickEMII]

does that thing fly?

[Tunercraze]

That sounds good. The audio is a little rough but that BOV sounds nice. Is it the HKS ssq?

[kashrx7]

Thanks... I'm not running any BOV...

[Tunercraze]

..What!?? I'm suprised. It sounds great though man. Looks smooth too. I'd take an FD over an FC any day. The sleek style of an FD is always the stuff.

[znallar]

You can hear there's no BOV... a turbo isnt supposed to make that sound when you let off the throttle.

It's wearing out your turbo man, get a BOV, your turbo will last longer.

[kashrx7]

You only need a BOV for high boost applications 17 psi +... I'm only running 12-13 psi at the most

[znallar]

ah ok... but get one anyway :P compressor surge doesnt sound good imo :)

[ytk3000]

get a bloody BOV then

[jinxtacy]

Higher applications of performance make a lot of people not use BOVs. It makes for a more responsive car and less air fuel miscalculations on cars that read incoming airflow that magically dissapear. Goes into rich mode for that second because fuel is provided for the air that escapes the intake track through the BOV. won't go into too many details and certain cars are different and BOVs can be made to recirc. Result in lesser turbo life, but how much I guess would depend strength of turbo.

[rotacon]

Waste gate from a 3rd or 4th gear you take accelerator off it makes that sound. Even feed rx7 on touge makes taht sound.

[chris11213]

humm i am no expert but is that compressor surge happening there. if so thats not good.

[txstonerm]

idk wat else it could be... hard on the engine, harder on the turbo's bearings. overall a waste of money, considering that your maintenance will cost you more than a BOV would

[Wangan300]

Rotary engines are the best!

[dthebuk]

amazing

[bedeanson]

I know exactly why you have that wing! I took the angle off mine for the top speed runs. It just feels wrong, Deffinately needed for the road! also a difuser is next on the shopping list lol!

[therealpodge]

Very nice rx7 mate.Sounds sweet.What mods have you got?

[civicmike01]

dude got compressor surge

[kashrx7]

As KidBajan said look on D1 videos, RX7 track cars, even street driven RX7's in Japan and you will see that most have GT wings similar to mine, some even bigger... As for power, in that video I had 300rwhp at 0.8 bar

[ZRmini]

how much horsepower?

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

Dood, that wing is just too huge. I know it makes a difference, but you could get away with something less than half the height and size and still benefit fine. Also, black with silver lip rims are played out, don't care how much they cost.

[KidBajan]

the wing helps with downforce jackass and if you ever watched a d1 dvd you will notice that the RX7s use those same size wings fool!

[kashrx7]

Have you ever driven a RX7? The wing is to keep the car in a straight line when doing high speeds because without it feels slippery, trust me I know and that ain't no cheap shit wing, that an original carbon fibre Buddy Club... The rims are orignal Re-Amemiya and the bodykit aint no cheap shit either all original, you obviously dont know the difference betwen ricer and JDM...lol

[kashrx7]

yeah

[ricostuart]

you on mrc?

[kashrx7]

Rex can only referer to RX7

[darkrx777]

Is REX Wrx or RX7? it fuks me off cus i call my RX7 REX but my m8 calls his WRX REX grrr what one is it?>

[shinobistyle86]

tell you friend to call it a scooby

[MOMO96]

nice.. wat front bumper is tht u got on der?

.GoRe.
