arguably the best 90's JDM engine in arguably the best 90's JDM body
You nailed it, exactly.
2jz FD is my dream car but I'd leave it almost stock on the outside and a usable 500bhp
Not arguably is
It's a tough choice between the RX7 and the Supra on looks BUT the RX7 has popups.
First Name Last Name RX7 is much better looking than the Supra
So it's a Mazda RX-7, with a Toyota 2JZ, a Nissan gearbox, a Ford GT500 rear, and Cadillac CTS-V brakes?
I think they wrote an old horror story about this by Mary Shelly.
I love it man. Insane machine
I love this comment :)
Review my S12 KA-T homie. It's slow.....but it's still fun!!
probably a ford explorer diff
Frankenstein.
I don't mind the rotary being taken out for a turbo I6 but what I do mind is the removal OF THE POPUP HEADLIGHTS
amen, pop up headlights keep the rx7 an rx7..i just bought a 1984 rx7 shell that i, going to put a 4.3L V6 in because i cant source a rotary for cheap around here...first thing i wanted to know worked was the lights xD
The popup headlights suck unless you like the car looking like shit when the light are on or having the covers fly off at 60mph.
Violetta maybe you are not a purist
the non pop ups started on one of the rx7 gt cars i think
Bit late heck yeah
Thanks for watching guys! HUGE thanks to Matt for letting me drive! Thing was NUTS
Sick sick build bro! Really enioyed the video, I mus tadmit i would love to see a review of some other type of crazy Honda or other FWD platform, that one civic with 600hp was bad assss
the description is about the is300 :(
this was sooo dope
nice vid David, I filmed you stalling out when I was a grid haha
somethings up with your description bud
I love me a good death trap...
What's the highest hp rx7 that you've drive?
I've driven a stock twin turbo FD and an FD with a bridgeport and 550whp
Very nice, thanks for the fast response. Fastest car I've ever driven is my 94 trans am with 4.10s lol.
Checkout our channel! I've driven much faster cars. 700, 800, 900 whp cars. :D Enjoy! There's a WS6 with 500hp on our channel as well.
Not that fast compared to cars on your channel, but it's my daily:).
jasmine level of concentration
You sir couldn't be more right.
+ThatDudeinBlue want to review twin turbo ls3 rx7 ? In GA
Email me :D
+ThatDudeinBlue Dave , what's your email address ? Can you send me message through CZcams?
Thing looks sketchy! Sick ass car.
Yo Kalvin. Subscriber here :3
Calvin!
Finally does an fd... No rotary.
I'm sure he'll get a few 13b & 3 rotor. There's plenty down near him
I saw two FCs. i know I saw one but the other i wasn't so sure. But i'm pretty sure it was an FC because of the tailights.
I miss those cars so much. Was a bit disappointed when the rx8 came out
But the styling. Mmm, delish.
RX-8 actually is pretty good, it was a hell of a lot cheaper than the RX-7 as well. Put rotary sports cars in the hands of the masses.
+S Miller absolutely. It's just that the rx7 was sooo damn aggressive looking. Let's hope they make the rx9!
+C Mendoza oh my God yes!
The RX-9 is a confirmed thing. Look it up! :) I believe its coming out in 2019.
2jz makes any car straight BADASS. Somewhere there's a supra with no engine ☹️
xD the engine could have came out of a is300, gs300, or sc300 lol
rotary powa is the best
+FlowPanda rotarty is not a reliable
yup, normally if a rotarty is getting replaced in a rx7 i gt sad but cause its a 2jz it make me happy
+AEBROS Dickson or the mark 2 or Toyota chaser.
the way you interact with your fans is amazing. most big youtubers or famous people in general seem to not really care at all, like oh its just another fan but you seem to really genuinely care about all of them.
This might be my favorite video on the internet
Bro thts crazy you put me in the video! Haha glad I got to meet you man!
I'm a simple man I see 2JZ I click
dude I love how you can laugh at yourself and just be chill and kick it with the fans.
One of the most legendary engines in one of the most legendary and lightweight chassis, done right. This car is a dream come true. Not to mention the guy saved that beautiful FD. What a hero.
I’m not a big fan when people go away from the rotary in the FD’s, but this car is gorgeous. You can really never go wrong with a big HP 2j swap
You still have the description in their for the last video. But this car is insane.
There*
"Their"....seriously? Even the german guy speaks better english than you lmfao
+Spode grow up arse wipe, go make some more CSgo vids.
get help
This is my favorite series that you do. So amazing
Really Enjoyed this video! Have a fantastic Labor Day David!
Yes! Killer car killer video! More of this plz!
Video looks killer by the way! Glad to see you are maken the sony work for you!
It's actually the Panasonic GH4!
ThatDudeinBlue Crap SRY! to many CZcamsrs with different cameras! My V8 FC is still open for you to drive. If you ever drive back up Virginia on 85 stop in and come drive it! Or come to a Piedmont drift event it is a killer grassroots event with tons of seat time! Really looking forward to the videos that I know are coming! aka 240!
+ThatDudeinBlue Panasonic FTW.
Great review as usual! It's a really well-done swap, which is awesome! The only major problem I had is your horrifying farmer's tan. You scared every child away from my home in a 50 mile radius. But that doesn't matter since it's still a great video! Keep up the great work!
That's the typical tan here in Georgia
Lol. Damn
great review David.i really appreciate all of your videos
David im so glad to see you returning to tuned videos that we all love!
Dope ass IS300. Looks like an RX7 ;-) Glad to see these in 4K now. Loving it.
Adding a 2JZ-GTE to a RX7 is like adding ice cream to cake
AM4N
I hate rotary engines because they are unreliable and gas-guzzling. Plus, they literally have no torque.
Tesla Roadster
Sounds delicious
Thatdudeinblue is back with them awesome reviews :)
Damn this Rx7 is a beast! I love how Matt pieced together the build from different car manufacturers!
Awesome to see that thing out on the street!
Holy shit this thing is insane
Ayee wusgood
Great video David that RX-7 is beautiful and it looks to be incredibly fast. Keep up the awesome work.
The first two min I already have chills IM IN LOVE WITH AN RX7
The 2JZ-GTE is an inline-layout, six-cylinder, belt-driven dual-overhead camshaft, air-intercooled, twin-turbocharged, cast-iron block, aluminium cylinder headed engine. Quite a mouthful, isn't it?
Currently putting a mild built 2JZ in a 90 Mustang LX
Fox Body squad right here.
Love my fox bodies, Have a mint LX with a blown 2.3L and my brother picked up the 2JZ at work (auto recycling) so I'm going to work with what I've got lol if I can get that 2J in there that old LX will definitely humiliate some people
Love a fox if you are posting vids i will find you and I will sub you
David has the best CZcams channel for The Car guy community
We Love You David Live The Moment 👊👊
That thinggg, woww. Sounds crazy, looks crazy. The silver looks nice, the wheels, the headlights .. everything.
David, pssst
You should re-edit the description
Awesome car BTW
hey David, I have a friend who has a 2005 Audi S4. if you're ever back in the peninsula in Virginia, would you be interested in driving it?
5:50
This clip was glorious.
I'm really glad this channel is kicking back up btw i missed it.
Holy crap this was amazing. I loved every part of it!
Seeing that car swerve side to side was impressive. That shows the lack of traction that car has considering the power levels. Personally I wouldn't want that much power but then again I am a wimp. ;)
Soo basically its a Supra. Once you take the rotary out of a RX and put a LS or a 2JZ, it becomes a corvette or a supra
True
tru
I would normally agree, and I myself do drive a rotary, but apparently the owner saved the car from the scrapyard. At that point, the choice is basically an Rx7 with a 2jz, or a bunch of metal that used to be an Rx7. The first choice is much much better.
yep
+neenervshellomotoman Yeah I wouldn't put a rotary in there either. I'd prefer to put a 2jz which is more "reliable". Dont wanna change apex seals that often.
keep up the great work and vidoes
your one of my favorites
This thing is so badass! David, been watching for a long time you inspired me to get my own car channel off the ground. I'm at nearly 10K views now.
5:42 that car behind him prob like holy shit he gone XD
Irfan Randazzo that’s faster than a Supra bc it’s the same engine but Rx7 is so much lighter
i wonder how much sweat has been absorbed into that racing seat..... and piss, especially if you do alot of pulls :P
This is the first video in a long time that's brought me back to "old school thatdudeinblue"
Classic David review, loved it
Putting a 2jz in an Rx7 feels like both the best thing you can do and the worst thing you can do.
This car really a hot rod if you think about GMC brakes Ford rearend and Nissan Transmission
Absolutely
GMC brakes? Lol what
Think you mean GM or CTS-V
AsiSoy95 edgy af and super knowledgeable!
Pretty sure we knew what he meant, but thanks for the correction....
KEEP DOING GODS WORK
1 like = 1 blown up Honda engine
AsiSoy95 Same shit different bucket it's all in the same family
crazy fast... man i can image the feeling of the power already
One of the most beautiful cars ever made.
One of the most brilliant engines ever made.
The perfect car imo.
I thought I was just being a noob when I thought in the first clip it sounded like a 2jz
has on in it
What I'd give to drive that thing!
Mental motor !! David your vids are awesome dude !!
Great vids! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I would love to 2jz swap some cars and it's my favorite engine but if u have already a rb or a rotary engine in it, u shouldn't replace it
i agree rotaries are BA. People just 2j swap everything because its cheaper and more reliable than a rotary. You can get a crate 2jz for "cheap" lol
+Austin Griffin how much will it cost?
+AllRacingGames ive seen folks get em' to their door step for $1200.
+Austin Griffin that is cheap as hell but in holland u can't buy them
+AllRacingGames how come? emission laws?
poor rx7 ;(
well if he found it with nothing on it adn broken i can understand u dont make it stock lol
+CZcamsr an LS fully dressed takes up no more room than a 13b fully dressed, it honestly make take up less space. don't let the 1.3L displacement of the 13b fool you into thinking it's small
This is the only rx7 swap I confirm
+CZcamsr lol an ls would be improvements.
+John Dessire don't ever say that sentence again 😂
I love the sound of the 2JZ and the engine being in that car is just crazy lol
I don't know why but I dig being able to see the gears on the cam shaft.
I'm sorry, i cant watch yet another 2JZ swapped RX7. nothing against those engines, its just the RX7 loses all of its original personality. I've owned 3, blew all of them up. sunk tons of money into each. not once did i say to myself "maybe i should LS swap or 2J swap it" whats the point? why wouldn't i just buy a supra or a corvette?
I agree. the sound of a rotary is something else.
Because the RX7 Looks better than a Supra and is more rare than a Corvette. :D
"I've owned 3, blew all of them up" - there might be some people that want to enjoy this car without blowing up the shitty unreliable rotary motor. I think it looks and sounds awesome, sometimes people can improve on the mistakes that manufacturer made.
I blew them up because i was young and didn't know a thing about them except that more boost made them faster. don't take what i typed out of context. it was MY mistake, not the engine. I've seen several examples of rotaries with over 250k miles and still pass California emissions. don't spread around false truths. want a reliable rotary? don't skip maintenance intervals, and don't port them. make sure it stays cool. and don't throw 22lbs of boost at it when you are only properly tuned for 12. puting an engine in it from something else removes the heart of the beast. sure, its a whole new beast. just not my cup of tea.
lol, they're not unreliable. They're maintenance heavy sure, but if you do the maintenance, they tend to last much longer than the thrown around number of 125k km. In fact, I've got a rotary in my garage sitting at exactly 125k km and the only thing it needs is a new TPS, engine itself is perfect.
Why do you buy rotary cars but take the rotary out of it?
Most people don't like the rotary engine
To have an amazing looking car that weighs 2,800lbs with 50:50 weight distribution.
Rotary's break a lot and when you throw fat turbos on them they break even faster
Not really, bad tuning breaks them got about 75k on 450whp build and its doing fine.
It's not 50:50 with a 2jz or the lighter LS, at least with the LS you can still run strut tower brace without modding the hood.
Love the car! Have a great day David!
I just fell in love . that car is a beast
ugh no rotory gross
Call me weird but I'd much rather have an LS in that, lighter, makes more power without boost, more reliable...And no, I am not american nor a US fanboy.
At least with the 2jz it could handle a 1000+ hp set up with stock internals.
+ronaldo peralta no, the crank can Handle those numbers but believe me no one is going to want to make that much on stock internals. Or be ready to rebuild the blown motor real soon.
+Bootleg Builds you are correct.
Depends on what you are in to, I understand the attraction of a good V8, but the LS is a lazy feeling engine compared to the 2JZ - it can make good power, but take a lot of effort to make it rev freely. Then again, no lag...
ronaldo peralta Who ACTUALLY WANTS 1000 horsepower, you really don't realise how impractical that is. It is hard to achieve because of the car's drivetrain, there is a lot of work to the car's body, drive train and suspension to achieve that as safe as you could in a 2500lbs car with 1000 horsepower. You can make 1000, but why would you? At that weight, even 350 is enough.
a 2j in a mazda rotary timeless classic much respected jdm piece of treasure ! i love it ! 100% ! great Frankenstein ! totally no sarcasm!
jk just not my cup of tea but looks like an immense amount of fun and a rock solid build.
great review again david, good stuff.
Yeah making my day already with your video
respond to Bk34 and race him!!!
david would get a bus put on him
+Clearly Clueless David's car also had over 100 more whp then Bk34's corvette
no rotary??....no care
nice to see you back reviewing monsters 🙌
Wow awesome vid! thatdudeinblue, you should totally get some similar headlights for the 240sx! Love the grabber blue on that car by the way great choice!
the outside is pretty ugly
Nope never that
No, it looks beautiful
+E46 BMW DUDE the stock one definitely but the wheels and the side skirts on this one make it look not as good anymore
bit fast & furious aye,although the engine makes up for it haha
+The CarGuy I still like the looks of it but I respect your opinion of liking it in stock from man!👍
That was an awesome review! Badass car!!!
Awesome review David!
finally. was wondering when you were going to do this
Great vid.couldnt wait to drive back home just to watch it.notification gang
this is the first time i liked a swap RX-7 really got me hooked on the looks aswell
Here before 1 million views haha! Awesome review David!
My favorite car with my favorite motor, awesome build😎👍🤙
One of my all time favorites so far. Right up there with the Huracan.
Beautiful car a lot of love went into that car
That roll on past that black civic was great.
that sound just makes me cry in awe
your face when the car takes off though is priceless
I love the fly by clips. More car channels should do that.
Sick bro 💯 I found a vessel rx7 sitting at a friends house and he’s giving it to me for free and this is same same setup i wanna do also but holy shit, when you mentioned how scary it is on 4th gear because of how light it is made me even wanna do this setup real bad. Awesome rx7 bro she’s a beast
My favorite car from the 90's, and an icon forever! They are very rare now...
David makes it look easy to drive these scary cars.
man rx7 look amazing they are really a timeless cars
Awesome video!
Sounds amazing
It's a race car with an FD shell/geometry. Love it
You've had alot of great cars on the channel. Your own included but this one is my absolute favorite still.
That was absolutely NUTS!
so cool with your fans, awesome
What transmission & rear end?
That's an awesome swap. Bet you can't wait to have fun in you're 2jz 240! The Fd rx7 is one of the most beautiful Japanese cars ever.

FLAMBOYANT DUDE IN BLUE BACK AT IT AGAIN
