Rob please please please send the car to get atleast the interior painted it wound be amazing to see just one of your cars have a pretty gt3 like white painted cage and inner body!! Love you you kick so much ass🏁
Alright Rob!
@@kp28az thy probably don't have enough time
Yep, Got me again at the end, Good 1 👽👍🏻
Hey Rob.... when did you hire exican Ron Jeremy ?
Man just let me sleep. It's 3:15am bro
haha im sorry. we were trying to upload them eariler. but i promise its worth the sleep deprivation
11pm here in the UK! No work tomorrow, so all good 😂
@@RobDahm 6am in singapore, the sleep deprivation is real
😂😂😂
Midnight here in Denmark, perfect time for a video ❤😅
Two build videos in one week... what a treat!
When is pikes peak, it's going to come down to crunch time with Rob rebuilding the whole vehicle.
@@GimbleOnDew As far as i know, the car is way more advanced than in these videos.
if Rob's rx7 doesnt get to be in ANY racing games in the future imma be hella mad
If ANY of his cars dont Imma be mad too
@@Bubbaj226 oh ya, same boat, the 4 rotor and 3 rotor HAVE to be in the next forza horizon, call it the Rotary God Collection
@@CrustStarGaming I'd like em to be in GT7
moving the fans back from the rad to pull air from both the oil cooler and the rad/intercooler space at the same time is going to cause the fans to pull air from the path of least resistance, and whichever heat exchanger has a higher resistance to airflow isn't going to get much airflow at all.
your going to want to test those areas with an airflow meter and watch your temps under load to ensure it works 100% for ya.
Great point, wouldn’t even have ri thought about that. He did mention the radiator is extremely dense and can cool very well so I have a feeling it would not pull much air through that as opposed to the oil coolers.
When at speed the fan does nothing, it's the frontal area the determines where the air goes. Fans can even reduce flow. In race cars they often don't have any but rely on blowers when they come into the pits. But for a car like this they will need a fan just for any standing time.
@@RedBatRacing true, but pikes peak does have tecnical turns that require slowing down, and as you climb the mountain air density drops, and so does your cooling efficiancy.
Pushing 1000whp at a high altitude puts a lot of strain on the cooling system.
@@damonkaufman it would be interesting to do the maths or more importantly a practical test with this car to see at what speed the air flow exceeds the fans. Anecdotally around 35mph is considered a cross over. You would only be doing under that for a few seconds at tight corners then well exceeding it. As for altitude, the fan will be pumping the same thin air so I expect the maths to be similar. It's having a radiator that's spec'd for the highest altitude that matters. I don't have a shroud for my fan so air can flow around it when on the track. But I've never run at high altitude, so wouldn't know what other pitfalls would be.
@@RedBatRacing Anecdotally, I can see the coolant temperature get colder when I turn the Air Conditioner on (which activates the radiator fan) when cruising at 75mph in my FD RX7. If it were me, I might try for slightly smaller coolers, a very well-ducted puller fan for each, and a good path behind the fan that avoids the weird airflow effects of the tires.
Can't see any PWR products anymore without hearing Ben Lin from GearsandGasoline's amazing Aussie impression.
Everytime i see PWR i just laugh thinking about Ben's impression
As soon as i saw the pwr rad i did the accent
Peedoubleyouhwahrrr
I was just about to say that. Ben from G&G: “PWARRRRR……please don’t sue me”
😂😂😂 i love it
1:03 "pw arrr... you kidding me"
lol deoxide?? love your vids!
See... i knew Fab Daddy wouldn't let that square go. I knew it. :))
I always forget you own a MF DIABLO my god what a gorgeous car
Right! Last Gorgeous Lambo! New ones look soo... safe. Haha
@@Grimm-Gaming Don't disrespect the Murcielago like that!
@@joealex65 the mercy is ok but basic compared to the diablo
Can we talk about Isaiah's cartel look. That luscious Mexican looking mullet. He needs some jeans and alligator boots and gold chains.
That description of what a turbulator is was beautifully executed. Simple and to the point, without adding useless fluff in the explanation just to sound more academic.
So much ROB DAHM! We are blessed
Rob: no time to bend, just weld two straight tubes together
Isaiah: cut's it off and bends the most bendy pipe and welds it in like looking superb
As someone who has been subscribed since 2017 and never missed a video I'm smiling ear to ear watching this car being put back together again and again better each time love your enthusiasm
Loving the grass roots of a guy with a dream to conquer the mountain in what will be an absolute beast of mechanical ingenuity and engineering form meets function
This build series really came out of nowhere and I am absolutely LOVING it. It's so full on. Wild to think the 3rotor is going to be your most 'complete' racecar at the end of this process.
Haters will compare you guys to the Vargas Bro's but man This build is league's above anything coming out of their shop. Loving this build
Dude i feel like the vargas brothers have nothing on rob. nothing against them but rob just on a whole other level
they are friend..,haters will be haters
Vargas brothers weren't the best with one of their customer cars I know that
Bro no offense but who is comparing them? Vargas bros are 2 scammers who only work on CZcamsr cars now for clout and are only famous because they are Puerto Rican so people defend them for no reason. rob is millions time more advanced than what they can do, shit just look at their shop they can’t even keep a clean and organized work space….
This guy just casually takes a Diablo VT for a spin around the shop
Love seeing the Weld Daddy back on camera!!!!
Fabdaddy 🥰🥰
Happy to be back baby
Isaiah got the goods! Loving the desk-chair adaptation for the lean 😂
I feel like Rob and Isaiah are growing there hair out for some awesome 70’s inspired Halloween's costumes this year.
Isiah's hair is majestic. Like a effen liger.
Thank you mate
You know it's a good day when you wake up to new dahm video
Rob, I love what you’re doing with the rotary scene, you’re the bomb! Just wanted to knowledge share some stuff:
Steel/Steel alloys have strength under tension, and are weak under compression. When a sideways force is applied to a pipe, one side of the pipe is under tension, the other side is under compression. Typically the side under compression fails first and the pipe will bend (instead of tear)
Ahhh a Rogue Fab bender. Great guys over there and that is literally the best bender I've ever used. Built multiple crosskarts with a weld up kit I purchased from them. Kills the JD bender and all the other pedestal benders out there.
I’ve never been so invested in a build until now, the turbulent talk makes perfect sense 😂
Iv been here watching for many years. I'm pretty sure thats the 1st time iv seen you drive the lambo 😂 maybe the 2nd if I forgot
9:38 is the first time i've seen Dam using the Diablo and swearing
Isaiah is really a master builder.
PS: Rob I think you could maybe benefit from a 3d printer for those complex cooler ducts and for quick prototypes.
I love the quality of the work you do and also how you all hold your hands up when you fuck up and don't make excuses or try to pass the buck
I F'kn love to see the development. Even from the start of the video to the end. Literally learning and developing on the fly. Continuous growth! I cant wait to see the end product!
I can't wait to see the 4 rotor Rx-7 get this kind of attention, after this car has done Pikes Peak
Fabulous fab work, I love seeing how this sausage is made!
Robs videos are the only ones I make sure I have all my attention for it when watching. Love your work rob!
Being that i live in Colorado springs I would suggest dividing the inlet of the ductwork going into the radiator and intercooler to help split the air between the upper and lower portions of the heat exchanger. I cannot wait to see this in person!!!!!
1:00 i cloud hear ben saying "PWarr"
Love these videos Rob, I just finished building a welding table with the ole flux core. Gonna start my TIG welding journey soon 😀
Rob, if you don’t have space for headlight buckets, use just covers to plug openings and just push top part in, a little bit. So it creates narrow slit for led strip up, not down and it won’t interfere with ducting. I think no one has that. Semi closed is cool looking, but this might be more aero friendly and also iconic looking
This is also where hood/fender ducts can help. Help pull air out of the cavities at speed. Hopefully causing a negitive air pressure.
PWR was our main hookup in indycar, good call!
I’ve been for a tour though the PWR workshop. It’s an impressive facility.
Love your work guys.
You inspire me with my build.
Thank you for all this knowledgeable info / little tricks eg the little rods to stiffen up and triangulate things is a great idea that I never thought of.
Good luck with everything on this build and cannot wait to see you smash the mountain when all is said and done.
Good luck Rob and the boys.
First time I have heard. Yep it was me.. I fuked it up. He needs another chair for his balls. Master level work and a truthfull honest soul. Guy is epic!!!😂😂😂
I love when Rob nerds out. Great seeing the Fab Daddy back on the channel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why is it so awesome to watch those videos?
Just love to content. Greetings from germany!
Really like these videos because even scaled down they show many neat tricks for building your own personal car better!
Not particularly into rotaries or rx-7's ... but I always have fun watching your channel...I learn something every time... awesome!
Hey Rob, ever thought about running coolant through the chassis tubes you’re installing and welding on bungs to save space?
i remeber seeing this car for the first time when you ran the rob ferretti challenge with tommy fyeah haha. thing was so hagard barely ran and always thought it was going to catch fire. everyone hated it/you lol. just didnt know what you were doing yet, but now you have become one of the most beloved people in the rotary community. true inspiration and a trip seeing how far this car has come. keep up the great work..one of my favorites to watch. pikes peak, lets go!!
love it man keep up the good work you guys are amazing
i just wanna comment on how clean everyone's welds are, so so so satisfying
Okay @RobDahm You Killing Me. Why All The Awesome Videos Dropping Back To Back Like This Man. I Can't Want To See What Your Brain About To Do With This RX7. Fab Work Is Awesome Too
Love you Rob, your work is the coolest. I bought an FB rx7 and 13B for it and wanted to have it ready to drive up to the hill climb this year to watch your run, but had to cancel because I have a surgery on my head on the 7th and won't be recovered in time.
Best of luck, see you next year!
I’ve been for a tour of the PWR facility. It’s pretty impressive!
looking forward to seeing the finished product man. Wish I had an FD to play around with. Your channel is coming in clutch for planning what I want to do.
Wow amazing work!
I love the video in early morning nice edit.pls update more videos , love to see the channel grow and become some things more than usual contents on CZcams.
You might want to look into IC/Rad water sprayers. The problem with heat transfer at altitude here in Colorado is the dryness of the air, and dry air is a terrible heat conductor.
Isaiah's mullet is gorgeous
I will never get tired how fast these videos end lmfao
Rob, it would be sick if someday you somehow made the suspension on the FD like an Indy car has. Like how the one kid and his dad built that Trans Am Indy car with Vibrant. It wouldn’t just have good suspension for high speed but slow corners as well. Which is exactly what you need for Pikes Peak. PLEASSSEEE for the love of god, at the very least, spray the entire chassis with Steel-It. After you’ve done this years Pikes and you have proof of concept, would you ever consider putting this car on a chassis table to do even more crazy fab work.
I love how making the car withhold downforce is the goal. I would personally make it withstand going off a cliff. You're a mad man.
Nice Video ! from japan don't worry about time lag .
I work in a big rig/ ag equipment repair shop. We do a lot of cylinders. To bend the rod… You were doing something. 🤙🏻
Lovin every minute of it
Tube work is looking Killer, so keen to see this vehicle do its run.
Rob got the best RX7 that I know of.
Rob youve evolved so much ! I admire that
This front end is starting to look amazing af!
Dude this thing us going to be fricking insane. I can't wait for you and your new insane team to tackle the 4 rotor and redo that beast
Be safe, go fast, and most importantly have fun.
Fab daddy at it again 😍
Deltapag is legit. Love their brushless fans. Have been using them for years on my turbo M3 👍
My 05 2.7TT allroad is running a three core aluminum radiator for an RS4, large oil cooler, larger PS cooler, larger twin intercoolers, all AN lines, and air ducts.
This thing is more X than R at this point, and I can't wait to see the end result!
Rob use the 13BCosmo waterpump crossover style you will have one somewhere in ya parts.
The system everyone uses is used from 1968R100-1992FDRX7 and is on good for street applications
First time I’ve seen that lambo get any attention 😅. Rx7 project is awesome keep it up 💪🏽🔥
I can’t wait to see this thing on the mountain in about a month… please bring it to Fan Fest if you can too, Rob!
woah I didnt know delta makes big big fans, I only know them from being the big boi option for server installations (or home pc use if you're insane)
Man can’t wait to see this thing run
Best episode yet
Question on the oil cooling solution, could you integrate them into the side of the rear quarter panels and have some sort of ducting to them? So inset them in front of the rear tire or behind with a duct. that way you don't have so much on the front of the car? I am no engineer but just wondering if that would be some type of option?
Y’all can make sway bars with that bender!
I absolutely love Rob's shirt no more LS swapping shit
Rob casually making the coolest RX7's in existance is gold
Also, You should send your diablo off to FMU For an exhaust!
I really felt that at 9:40 😩
TFW you're watching such an insane roster of rotary builds that you almost forget that Rob also has a Diablo VT... LOLOLOLOL
The choice to extend the front for bigger radiator is very interesting. Might have been better to do rear radiator to keep original car dimensions, better weight distribution, and much more coolant in the system because of the long lines running to the rear.
Waking up at 5:45 to hypermile my FC 140 miles tomorrow
But Rob comes first ofc
I like it!
looking at the size of robs radiator pipe fitting and then looking at my intercooler piping. I realize this many has more PSI of coolant then I have of air going into my car.
holy shit, we really don't deserve isaiah's skills to be shown off like that... dudes a fuckin fab genious, and rockin a sweet mullet. but everytime rob gives me a short cut I say "you fucker"... love the content man, good luck up the peak.
This is ART !!!
Rare Diablo footage 🚨
need more diablo content. my first vid i ever saw was u talkin about how anyone could buy one if they commit to saving money, and that you spent the money a couple time b4 finally making it happen. i dont remember how long ago that was but never saw another video from you or knew who you was till the "dont use drag radials in the rain" video since then i been watching
It’s a good thing you use Keeps. All the hats you figuratively wear throughout a day, would definitely affect your hairline.
Rob, I can only hope to even get close to what you do with rotaries some day!
13:28 a wild Jameson spotted 😮
Hahaha. Good eye
Who is that?
@@first_last01 He is an amazing welder/fabricator who appeared in hoonigan videos in the past.
Have to slow my playback speed to 1.0x because I know I’ll learn something new from daddy Rob😂
I would love to see a Wankel powered sprint boat. myself. Although you would probably need at least a 4:1 reduction in RPM between the engine and the pump. . . .
I would've guessed that you would go the 3d printing route with all that ducting. My guess it could shave so much weight off it. Impressive non the less!
I wanted to go to bed, but this video dropped and now I can't.
