HOLY SHIT! 519 views and 4 thumbs down?! Sorry if you guys don't like a RX-7 V8 swap.
eletor No braaaaping :*( I love mazdas even I don't know that much about them, tho I love the sound of rotary. I can take all wrong about this, but I guess he had a B13 (?) in this, before he swapped it.
I love it,it's extraordinary unique
eletor Not sure wtf is going on with the thumbs down. Did someone share your page and attract a bunch of shithawks?
insipidMT Yeah, I shared this on Reddit. I love Reddit, but some dudes might not like my stuff. I'm not the most likable dude, lots of people say I sound like an asshole. People like different personalities, I won't be a dude that tries to conform to the normal style. I'll just be myself. I don't care if I don't have a million subscribers, I want to have the subscribers I have now. I love you guys.
eletor I figured as much. Whenever I flash my junk in public places theres usually a few assholes that don't appreciate it.
How can anybody be angry at a TWIN TURBO V8?!?! Granted it is a Ford engine, but still it's two turbos, and a god damn v8! Best combo ever..
Saw the title and just went ahead and popped the weewee out.
we understand.
+eletor thanks for the opportunity to be featured on your awesome CZcams channel. The car is still together and running strong. I recently participated in a slide society drift event with it. Drove 2hr there swapped tires did the event and drove back without issues and yes it's really a 3 season daily driver. Thanks again for the share. Turned out great.
David Lira Good to see you on here! Maybe you will come out to a ClubFR drift day?
eletor I'd like to get some more seat time in the car before I get to a ClubFR day but I'll try to make it out to one sometime soon.
All the butthurt people in the comments. Wow. It's his car, let him do whatever he wants with it. Nobody bats an eye when someone puts a 2JZ in a 240, in place of a KA, even though they're both good engines, but the second someone puts a V8 in place of a rotary, it's the end of the fucking world.
Rolling strong with the orange juice in the back.
Big Mike's Hobby Channel Dat orange juice doe
Lmfao that man was steady sipping oj that whole weekend.
Scott Davis vitamin c adds horsepower to any nutritious breakfast.
Hey I know that guy! He's definitely Keanu Rieves. This is what he does when the paparazzi aren't around.
I can also confirm that the car is his daily, and that he has the engine out about every 4 months going thru it and tweaking something, so the bottom end will get done. It's a solid build that's well executed and maintained.
A little history on the car, it's an '86 chassis that formerly had a race-prepped & stripped '89 NA S5 13B. The car was built to SCCA ITS class rules, but only raced 2 or 3 weekends before it was sold to a friend of mine. My friend owned it for about 10yrs and autocrossed and rallycrossed it during that time, then sold it to me. I daily drove it for a year, roadtripped it, autocrossed it, did one track day at Shawano in it, and ultimately took 2nd in novice class at Wisconsin Autosports Group's Shannon's Wild Ride Road Rallye out west of Madison with the car.
I then sold it to Keanu here, who put the 5.0L and TT's in it, flared it, painted it, etc. He's put a lot of hard work into this car and it's a shitload of fun.
Cheers
135DownToRide Thanks for the update, does he know I put this up?
eletor Yes sir. Keanu likes to keep it low key tho, usually sticking to chillin' on park benches while eating sandwiches, so you might not hear from him. He's pretty happy with it tho.
"i just wanted more torque"
sigh
*****
keep the rotary alive!
+Arnoute13 to be fair at least he doesn't have to change the oil every 1,000 miles
neither do I, 3000 miles is fine :)
And i don't mind that
+Arnoute13 Wankels have thier place, but a daily driven street car isn't the ideal scenario. If it was a track car and the 13b (not sure if this came with a 12a or 13b) was running fine as it was then yes, obviously I'd say go for it. But, when you're just prowling the street and want to have some fun, it's hard to pass up a cheap V8. You gain that peice of mind knowing it "should" be more reliable, and it's also nice having that bottom end grunt.
+Arnoute13. That's like trying to keep the dodo bird alive man. Somethings just aren't meant to live. Like engines that eat oil on purpose!
i like how these videos are still from automotion.... trying to keep people hangin luv it eletor keep posting. ill run into you guys one of these days.
*intervention gunshot .Mp3*
"This is gonna be fucking great"
Being an fc owner I'm not much for v8 swaps but I do like the Ford swap for sure!
Good stuff, eletor! Keep them coming.
NEMO HOES Thanks! Love that username! Did you get that from a Snoop Dogg show?
Yes! Hahahaha
One bad ass swap. Be nice if he can put on them new mustang gt 5.0 coyote engines in there. Those engines are already doing 400+hp stock. With twin turbo will be awesome. I just love the sounding of the turbo's blow off valve and the sound of the turbine spinning. The whistle sound from the turbo sounds amazing.
Daily without air filters?
I've never owned a Mustang or anything with a mustang engine in it. But I have a feeling that he's going to have to build up that bottom end, as well as put lower compression Pistons if he wants to get the full potential of those twin turbos without getting detonation damage to his engine. Good video tho. Your videos are always entertaining.
Nice vid eletor!
Great I love it, being that I am currently building a 1987 RX7 with a 5.0 swap and have been contemplating turbo or not. It was nice to hear what it would sound like if I were to go the turbo route.
+Jacob Flores. It sounded a bit like a turbo'd 5.0 didn't it? I don't think it cares what chassis it's in.
+Joe Clark I didn't think it'd sound much different but you never no man that kit in that car could give it more drone or something. At the time I was really curious what it would sound like and it was crazy this video just happened to show up displaying exactly what I was contemplating.
Jacob Flores. I get what you were saying, I was probably being a dick. It's nice to see your vision culminated, even if it's not by your hand. It's inspirational right?
All that money and you can't paint your door jams.
HAHAHA, "so you prefer the push rod motor?" most people wont even catch that.
+rob brown yeah because they never showed us in fast and furious...its basically how i know about cars
What did he say his ig was?
Found it! It's holset90
Austin Smith Glad you found it! Make sure to tell him you seen the video with him!
Should've put a Chevy in it, that Ford will just put you on the side of the road.
I would love to get a 95 cobra and put this turbo kit on.
You should do a pop your hood bro at a local circle track
do you have any videos with your car in it +eletor
Are these still videos from Automotion?
Malcolm "Damn Shawty, That Ass Fat" Hansen Yeah. I'll be doing some real ones pretty soon, not short shit like this.
Bad ass whip
Isn't orange juice supposed to stay refrigerated?
just wondering if anybody knows on what wing he had
More torque! I like the build. It's different and looks clean. Only 400 hp?! That's the part that baffles me. All the money invested, (cage, tt's, motor swap etc..), and he's waiting to build the bottom end before he turns it up? All the work to just pull the motor again? Unless he was bull shitting. This car is far from ricer files. The dude maybe but who knows. The car is cool.
Stock 5.0l blocks split around 450-500 hp. Not much of a point in turning the boost up now. It made 400whp /430tq @8psi. Could maybe up it to 12pounds and get the 450 but then risk blowing it up.
+wtsig76 Brian Hinson (Hinson Supercars) was a friend of a friend back in college. He was one of the first people to do the LS1 swaps in RX7s. He was the first person to start selling the swap brackets (so I was told). I rode in his first RX7. It was the generation after the one in the video, with an LS1 with a mild cam and a 100 shot of nitrous. He said it was making about 350hp without the nitrous. It was INSANELY fast. That car was so light and hooked like nothing I've ever been in. If I remember correctly, he said it ran 11.1-11.2 without nitrous and mid 10s with the nitrous. I absolutely believe it.
The reason I say this is because I bet the RX in the video is insanely fast with "just 400hp". I've been in lots of fast cars, and owned several (including a 650hp KB blown Cobra), but Brian Hinson's RX7 with less than 400hp was the most violent off the line and to 100mph. Oh, and that was all on 255mm tires on the stock rims. Not even drag radials. I couldn't understand how that thing hooked up so well.
Keanu Reeves
LOL what's that medal he is wearing? That his medal of honor or something?
Was on my way back from a car show in the dells where the car got 2nd place best Mazda.was awarded the medal and forgot I had it on.
David Lira
LOL, that's your V8 RX, nice man, I was just joking around.
Death to rotary all hail the knight engine!
+xkeeni Nah.
he put the slow mustang motor in it
+b00st👌 what do you have? probably nothing
+Spencer Hall k pal
that was a real question lol
Spencer Hall
i dont have anything right now since i went back to school for diesel tech degree, but i had a 96 lq4 caprice that i sold to buy a more fuel efficient car since my college is 45 min away
and i am speaking from experience when i say thats a slow motor. my friends mustang had the 5.0 HO motor in it and he would floor it and it would make a bunch of noise and go no where. im not talking crap about the car im impressed he did the swap but wasnt quite sure of the motor choice
they are slow stock, and probably in an rx7, the rotary should have never exited the engine bay, but the 5.0 has great potential especially stroked
LOL I’ve enjoyed listening to you berate people. LOL in the words of Tag Team, “BRING IT BACK YALL BRING IT BACK”. You should start doing it again to the new breed of posers
like that it's not an lsx.....i don't like that it's cxracing. have fun when that shit grenades!
lets get some more ricer vids .
he should replace the gt35r with gt28rs would spool way faster and make more torque down low.
+davidusminimus On a 5.0 that would be stupid to do.
Why? please explain
davidusminimus well a gt28 has a smaller exhaust housing. You may spool up quicker, but youre going to run out of efficiency much quicker than on a 2 liter. Even with twins youd have to run the biggest exhaust a/r possible and biggest exhaust wheel you can to keep from running outside the efficiency islands for that turbo. Besides that, a lot of the "bigger" gt28's are actually just big compressors on a small exhaust wheel. Which means the turbo is prone to surging. Twin gt28's are a good idea for 2.5-3.5 even 3.8. Beyond that though its somewhat small for a v8. Revving to 7k a twin gt28 setup would probably just be pushing hot air and be restricting exhaust flow.
A properly sized twin t3 based turbo is going to have more efficiency throughout the curve, especially on the top end. The guy said he made boost at 2.5k rpm. Trying to make boost lower than that is useless on a gasoline engine. Maybe if it was a diesel that would be different
So like gt3076rs ?
+davidusminimus yeah that would be a better choice for sure
5.0l V8 twin turbo to koenigsegg
wonder if it spins a tire or two
norflett I wish I could have found that out!
norflett
eletor
what's his ig?
+Jermaine Simpson @holset90
love the car. love that you went Ford and not the Ls. The sound is ummmm...not for me? Which surprised me as i like the sounds of Ford Mustangs.
It's an LS now. Lol
Shoulda stayed rotary
slowrx04 I think Mr. Regular put it in good words.
"When you drop a V8 into an RX7, you have a mini-Corvette", Or something like that.
I don't care about who drops what kind of engine into which chassis, but IMO the RX7/8 loses it's charm without the rotary engine.
Really, someone wants to know what's done to your car and the first thing you say is bushings. Wtf....
Twin turbo ford and only 400 hp? He coulda got that with ls3 or ls1 with a cam. Smh.
+JayBDaBoat He will be making way more power when he ups the boost a bit. 7PSI is pretty low.
+eletor Car should still be making more power even at 7-8 psi. Way too much money spent for those hp numbers.
+JayBDaBoat an n/a 302 can pull more than that
A lot of work for a 400hp build
His wastegates aren't hooked up properly..............
Still is slows ass hell. my 2016 stage 3 would smokes this shit. and I'm bone stock except for aftermarket exhaust
that was half ricer files....? cx makes these....sorry. it was kinda weird.....and a ford in it....hmmmmm
Ben Derpinghaus I've heard those turbos with the holes are for show, the ones with the full open ring actually function.
rambow70 what?! All this time I thought my turbos were fully functional. Guess my boost gauge has been wrong this whole time.
Haha. I think he's tryin to be funny cause it was an odd interview. We all know ur turbos and anti surge housings work fine
David Lira I am talking about the anti surge holes, I am glad your boost gauge works fine... The holes really have nothing to do with that? But anywho, the housings with a full ring machined in instead of the holes I have heard actually work. The holes are cheaper to produce, and do not function like an anti-surge should. Being cheaper, they are usually found on cx racing turbo's to fool kids into thinking, advanced turbo technology!
+rambow70. Or you could just size your turbos correctly to your engine build with a correctly sized bypass. Surge only happens when you noobed your system together.
Obvs bullshitting about it being a daily and only making 40hp :P
400*
Schlob SS Why could that not be his daily driver?
I know Keanu. I promise you, he DD's it.
Schlob SS
I wonder how much gas mileage he gets on that thing
NEMO HOES I figured between 20-25 mpg depending on how I drive it. I really do daily drive the thing.
now sell it and get a good condition FD
Buys a rotary... wants torque and puts a fucking mustang v8 in it. I guess. 😐
that shit doesnt even have airfilters why is he bsing about it being his daily.
2 years daily driven without air filters says otherwise. I mean it's a three season daily. Doesn't go anywhere in the snow.
kinda weak. all that work and 400hp.
+Justin Crediblename get a comeback more clever. your shit is just as weak as this build. I have 2 cars that have more hp from the factory.
omnious112 She wasn't satisfied so she was rode out by two more?
+DillaWorld you are proof that some people should not breed. Jim can come pop my hood
Breeding? Popping your hood? Yo, you are into some freaky shit man!
+omnious112 Dave?
First. Also gay.
