World's quickest rotary powered drag car controlled by Microtech EFI. A close up look at one of the most legendary rotary drag cars in the world from Puerto Rico.
Can I just say that this video was very captivating, fascinating and beautiful. Everything about it is perfect, the guy talking, the music, the car and scenery, the information for the viewer. I could watch these videos all day and I was never really that interested in cars until this video. It makes me want to build a drag car and hit the strip.
You're comparing road course racing to drag racing? Course cars are geared for top end and have shit for take off torque, your comparing a 6 second 1/4mile car to a maybe if there lucky 9 sec./10sec. Car. Be like a nascar setup going against a NHRA prostock car.
@@nwil804 I assumed that was just common sense! If one were built for that,then of course the other would better with the other course, but the topic was based on a drag race so the latter was used.good pointing out what some wouldnt piece together though.
Damn, that is one wicked car. Thing fires out of the starting gate like it's being shot from a cannon. On board computer system that constantly makes adjustments to everything on the fly. Wow!!
Godly Powers you’re not building nothing you damm hill billy. You’re here to hate. We need haters. You probably don’t even own a car. But hey it’s all good. Stick to banjo playing
Ssshhhh, the secret is....turbocharge, nitrous a computer light chassis / body and to finish high fuel grade, with all of that, will never have a chance with Piston engines, Piston drag cars are in the 5secs. Already, don't get me wrong, the sound is impressive but...nah, too slow...😎....👊👽
So I thought the car was on race gas because @5:25 the narrator says it runs traditional fuel . Then later @6:42 mentions it has no cooling system because cars that run on methanol dont use the cooling system ....... I know methanol v8 race cars dont always use a cooling system either . Many years ago I saw Todd Shepard run his black 1962 plymouth wagon (I called it the Warpig) in Pro Street with a blown alky hemi , and he had to do the mandatory 20+ mile round trip drive prior to making runs . He had no cooling system and it did not overheat on that round trip drive , pretty amazing stuff . This rotary is so badass , very cool car
although this video is 4 years old (and the car is 17 years old) I just saw this "RX8" competing in Maryland at WCF 2022. it's great to find these technical reviews after the fact.
Awesome Car Love The Tech On It....Rotary Power has a new infinite road found. Infinite speed who doesn't want that, the technology makes me dreaming to want to drive around the world with speed that nobody has ever done or wants to do ... Drag racing changes your life forever and you never want to lose it again. Needing the speed makes you get up every day and deliver top performances without interruption, looking at the next challenge on your path. Going to an unprecedented height with your team is the goal. Thnxs for this great video.
many built rotary with many rotors 6 o 10 rotors only for auto show purpuse , but in the drag world don't work only 4 rotor are capable to break the world faster rotary but 26 b are in development right now .
Hello, I'm interested in purchasing one of these for doing mad braaps and fat skids at my local Maccas carpark. Please advise approximate build/tuning/running costs and I will discuss with my financiers. Thank you.
Rotory motors make the most unique Sound every, from the angry sound of a Bridge port 13B to the smooth sound of a 20B to the mighty sound of 26B capable of over 2500hp++😁😁😁
I'm looking as well..Especially the orchestration starting at 3:30..I do know that A million Snowflakes by Eternall is just before...,let me know if u find any info.
I'm not knew too much about Rotary engine, but why rotary drag racer out there are not using 26B 4 rotor for pro import class? It should be more power right? Since it has more rotor. Is it still in development more for sustain crazy power like this? Anyone can give me enlightment? Thank you
Maybe they can keep with us, we are available all year long and they are welcome to race in Orlando Florida, with or without the show, strictly business here,
How do rotary compare to battery powered Tesla’s at acceleration? I keep seeing that Tesla battery is an advantage over piston engines because of torque but I think rotary is better
There is a pass missing in this video, ML made 6.27 in Maryland. Although it was with a different paint and I think it was sponsor by New Generation. see the link for the video of the 6.27 pass. czcams.com/video/sA08LT6fU-c/video.html

dent tech😂😂😂 Rob is building an amazing car, no doubt, but he’s light years behind, even with the 4 rotor, than these guys are....I’m still can’t wait to see that thing finished....
@@tecnica2001 he is building an all billet 4 rotor with a massive (109 mm?) garrett turbo with a Hollinger transmission capable of 300 mi an hour. He should be pushing more power than these guys. They have a partial billet 3 rotor. If he's not, his block is definitely capable of more. I believe he also plans on drag racing it. I could be wrong, but i dont know enough to defend my claim. I believe his plans are to build the most powerful and strongest rotary on the planet. We'll see
I know there is more to it but for starter is less piping, one less system to worry about, safety of less fluids potentially leaking causing a disaster down the track. I know for piston engines less to worry about about with head gasket. Those cars are pushed to the starting line, come to temperature on start up and burnout, do the pass and engine comes off. Also ruining 16v batteries with no altenator remember.
The engine runs for a limited amount of time. The atomized methanol already provides a cool intake stream but the boost heats that up some. So a shot of NOX further cools the intake charge. The simplest, lightest system for a car that runs just long enough to burnout, stage and then run the pass.
Dans ma vie j ai essayer beaucoup de voiture et de moteur mais jamais en rotative il parait que sa envoie severe mais que sa consomme bc d huile et pas que quant on c est que les moteur rotatife il y a pas de pistons se systeme m appelle donc a voir
Invented in Germany
Developed in Japan
Perfect in Puerterico

With Australian parts!💪💪
Puerto Rico Much Respect To Them!!!! They have some amazing cars & Knowledge
These people that hold the record are Australian
Nope

"probably most legendary car in the rotary world"
787B would like to know your location
The location is Puerto rico but 787(r26b) c class racing car was not built for 1/4 mile racing. He will get smoke.

Just like it would get smoked on a road course with a corner, not apples for apples in either example.

colomlopez have them both do one lap 😂 I think you missed the point of the comment brutha the 787 is a legend
Even after all these year since it first "dae-booed" , its still a weapon👍
Damn, that is one wicked car. Thing fires out of the starting gate like it's being shot from a cannon. On board computer system that constantly makes adjustments to everything on the fly. Wow!!
"On board computer system that constantly makes adjustments to everything on the fly" eh, just like any fuel injected car then?
Thank you for bringing us this great video. Fascinating.
Puertoricans and Aussies are the best when it comes to Rotary engines, they got this shit pack.
Carmelo Soto puertoricans and new zealands engine builders i would argue
In 3 years I'll build the first 5 sec rotary, so baboons and kangaroos can throw them selves at a wall
Not only rotary but in 2jz too (PR’s)
Godly Powers you’re not building nothing you damm hill billy. You’re here to hate. We need haters. You probably don’t even own a car. But hey it’s all good. Stick to banjo playing
Dee Jay what are u even talking about. Go look up the ranking of fastest rotary engines
Puerto Rico puñeta!!! 👏💪 los duros!!!
Much respect to the Puerto Ricans, they've got the secret.
Obviously 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I’m PuertoRican, most of drag cars here are rotarys, people here love them
Thank you!!!!!

@@Ihaveseenthings577 But racing a v8 is like cycling with training wheels, rotaries are for the big boys ;)
You had me at tri turbos then you said nitrous.. my heart had skip a beat on that one

Not anymore now it’s Loquito Killer with a 6.08! And still from 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico!!!
Love the design of the rotary!

Castrol edge rx2 from New Zealand is quick .there is also a rx4 6 rotor built in nz
many built rotary with many rotors 6 o 10 rotors only for auto show purpuse , but in the drag world don't work only 4 rotor are capable to break the world faster rotary but 26 b are in development right now .
Nice.
Len Bacon’s RX7 is still my favourite rotary drag car though.
Puerto Rico #1 a nibel mundial en motores mazda, Ed 'lokito', 'Betun', J 'Oso' R 'Falito' ......los furor💪🚦👊
A "nivel" no "nibel" so ANORMAL!!! Ve a la escuela para que te eduques y no nos hagas ver como ignorantes
Quien hizo ese proyecto y lo puso a correr fue siguel Racing lo demás es copy paste
Rotaries will survive
Great video like always. Keep them coming. Im sure you have lots of footage.
Still rocking the Microteck hand controller? Awesome👌 Good to see (2:40)
Come a long way from the RX engineering days old mate. 👍
America: Debut
Australia: Daybood
Now that's WORLD CLASS..AWESOME GENTLEMEN..👍
Hello, I'm interested in purchasing one of these for doing mad braaps and fat skids at my local Maccas carpark.
Please advise approximate build/tuning/running costs and I will discuss with my financiers. Thank you.
Hahahaha
The car is really an evolution. I'm sure a lot has been upgraded as new and improved versions of parts become available.
The little kid at 6:29 flipped me the bird
Rotory motors make the most unique Sound every, from the angry sound of a Bridge port 13B to the smooth sound of a 20B to the mighty sound of 26B capable of over 2500hp++😁😁😁
Athony Nesbitt Diesels also have a very unique sound the 6.7 common rail capable of 2500+hp
Love the wankels. The rotary is in no way, shape or form dead like some think. Screw the manufacturers, the enthusiasts and aftermarket keep it alive.
Rap Tagon maybe one day Mazda will have a new rotary that also isn’t in a ugly car
rotary is not reliable nor its efficient. enough said
@@BlueRice yes because racers care about reliability
@@DhirC35 On a racetrack? They definitely fucking do. No point racing if your engine shits out half the time.
😂 Quizo decir Eroico, 😅 no Erótico🤣
Puerto Ricans have the best engineers. Bravo
Crazy 3 rotor no wastegates needed
Absolutely fantastic vehicle thanks
It make myself proud of my people we small Island but big in hart nomather what.
I like to see Abel Ibarra race again
He still races never stopped
My dad is close friends with him im pretty sure be might race in orlando speedworld cant say when tho
as far as i know he's gonna be at the race in orlando. my pops works with him on the rx8
6:27 what a disrespect for the man 😂
Why?
really cool thanks for uploading!
Awesome video it would be cool to see the same type of video with the ols pica imports cars. My favorites of all time. The yankee and the pica fb
Piston engine goes boing boing boing. What a beautiful machine.
Piston? is this a joke trap?
That paint scheme is clean

When I hear an Aussie accent makes proud to live in Melbourne
tristan pasoski with all the africans ?
@@josephbrady711 And the rest of Africans are located in sweden...
I'm from Puerto Rico I love Australian people they so cool and humble and friendly and love the Australian accent.
Beautiful build.
Nice video man, I was introduced to your channel by a friend of yours, are you local in the tampa area? we should collab sometime
El Jerry would be a great car to watch up close man.
No longer Microtech
Great video - thank you
They have carbon fiber balls.. awesome vid..awesome car
puerto rican's rotary #1 in the world
Wat a beautiful car n motor
Definitely subscribed :)
Thanks.... Good video! 📹!
Nice info
What a beast
Only Boricuas🇵🇷 know how to do it
6.14 under moncho performance tuned by wilbert performance
Respeto y orgullo x 100pre
Does anyone have a playlist of all the music used in this video?
I'm looking as well..Especially the orchestration starting at 3:30..I do know that A million Snowflakes by Eternall is just before...,let me know if u find any info.
Turn up the Boost ik this Beast can run mid 6seconds, holy cow i was right that car did a 6.4sec @ 214mph!!!
It runs 6.14 229 mph
Rafaelito mech tech is number one, 6,16
Very nice video, except the music which always runs.... very irritating when watching the video.
I was thinking the same thing. Stupid music ruined a great story!!
Mi hermanaso felicidades con esa maquina.

Idk too much either but I've seen 13b's smoking 4 rotors as if they weren't even going
Wow, just great.
Amazing car, Puerto Ricans are rotary experts
It's built in Australia
A dude over in America his one went 6.7 in the quarter mile with an gt55 Garrett (102mm) on 38 pounds of boost single turbo
What about Abel Ibarra
What about it?
The world is still waiting for that 5 second Rotary
Nice Video
Don Ness knew how to build race cars, all the fastest drag cars were built by Donnie...
Pat Barrett, True this car was built by Don Ness.
Sum1 explain why it doesn't weld itself together without having a cooling system...
Love the no blanket 👌
Viva Puerto Rico
My eyes burn just watching this
Puerto Rico!!!!!
Enough to keep up with streetoutlaws.
Maybe they can keep with us, we are available all year long and they are welcome to race in Orlando Florida, with or without the show, strictly business here,
Bad ass car🤟
Now THAT'S gnarly

You need to fire your sound guy no MUSIC plz killing the beautiful noise of that sweet sweet rotary.

The only reason it still holds this record is who the fuck wants to fool with a rotary that has proven not to last and hardly work
A lot of busted Knuckles and brain power. Just alot more money too. And so much fun
