    Mechanical engineering student, been working on cars my entire life, currently living with my aunt and uncle who are retired automotive engineers while I'm at school. That is one of the best simplified explanations of bearings and oil I've ever heard. Not something many people talk about, and something a lot of people get wrong. High mileage engines, if maintained correctly, should use the same oil they used when new because the bearings will be the same size and shape they were when new. The temperatures, pressures, and clearances are the same.

      And both you and I know that they happen… a lot… In the real world, things like cylinder bore coating wear down and lead to burning oil, which eventually gets you oil starvation and consequential loss of material leading to catastrophic failure. Just look at Kia, a 50-60k mile engine has no right in having such catastrophic failures, yet oil starvation is extremely common.
      Real engines suffer fuel detonation, oil starvation, rich and lean conditions, all through various degrees through their lifespan, and those will proactively lead to your tolerances going down. And let’s not talk about engines made 50-70 years ago, when machining, fuel management and overal drivetrain technologies where not to modern standards

I startled my girlfriend when I yelled “FIVE WHAT??” When he said he’s already done at least 5 near 200mph runs on this engine, and it still ran well enough to only blow when he accidentally boosted it WAY past spec trying to hit 6th.

      it missing isn't really causing anything as long as the wing isn't there. the bigger issue is the carbon splitter/plate pulling away from the bottom of the car. they're likely going to have come up with a better way to strengthen it and smooth out the transition from the bumper to the splitter so it's not trying to rip it off the car. now if they were doing track stuff, 100% the window needs to be there because it's effecting the air hitting the wing.

      @@1216jimmyz you're so, SO wrong. It VERY much matters. You've got a giant opening where the air is expecting a surface, so that creates incredible amounts of turbulence that will make the rear end hop all over the place. The wing won't be as effective, either. Rob isn't concerned about it not because it doesn't matter, but because the car simply isn't built up to a point yet where it matters more than having a bulletproof engine.

    i don't know a ton about rotaries except for they sounded amazing when i was drag racing in my 20s... I love how technical Rob is about angles, weights, symmetry, balance and everything for a rotary... Some other youtubers take apart their motors after blowing but the precision he has is, in my opinion, unparalleled in this social media car-universe.

    Its crazy to see how much you have been able to push the rotary engine all these years, I remember watching you years back in the old garage when you was still first building the 3 rotor with the old yellow lambo sitting next to it. Iv always loved the rotary so its nice to see someone show what the limits really are and how you fix it and make it stronger.

    Im amazed that its holding up to that much power as it stands. I think the extra bracing across the housings and irons that you mentioned will significantly reduce the wobbling caused but such extreme power. Excited to see how it comes along. Im sure your pockets are hurting, but im glad to see you are seeing this dream through. Best of luck team.

    Someone smart once said “left to their own devices, a turbo will either blow itself up, or blow your engine up.” I’m so glad this engine survived except for the “parts that are absolutely destroyed” even with 60PSI of boost. I can’t wait to see the future of this build, which is CRAZY to say considering everything you’ve ALREADY done. 🤯🤯🤯

      When they have enough content to post the next video. They are currently designing parts for it, not super exciting on video for most people to just watch CAD design being done. It needs an intake, exhaust system and probably everything else externally.
      The engine was originally designed for a boat and ran with a carburetor. Putting it in a car and running EFI requires a load of new parts that all have to be custom made from the ground up.
