Rob: *Sees any car*
Also Rob: Pistons were never an option
Brilliant, definitely Rob 😆
lmao
Hahaha so true
I'm Kyle Loftis, and I approve this project :D
Keep breaking the internet Rob!
Sup sperg
Kyle who??
@@wyattgross4369 He use to own a turbo Geo Metro.
@@ricketyfixit959 couple geos were good sleepers. The 1.8 storm block casting was identical to to lotus 1.8. Cost more than it should have but i ran a lotus Nitrous 1.8 in early 2000s in a storm that alot of honda kids in my area didnt like. I eventually burned it down racing some nitrous k20swapped eg. But was well worth the several dozen pulls that night.
@@wyattgross4369 Kyle Lovetits i think he said...
Can't wait until this project is finished in 10 years.
You think it'll be finished in 10 years😂 add another 20 on there and you'll be on the money
😂😂😂
Constantine999 you would probably finish it in 50
Not with this engine as is. He will need billet center iron replacement we already know that one
Soravia he has the money 💰
What next?
Rob: a f**king tank with 8 rotor swap
12Rotor ;) 5000hp NA
He started talking about the 6 rotor while having 11 rotors in his shop....made me feel poor
Two 4 rotor engines welded 90° in a V configuration 😂😂
Run two 6 rotors parallel
@@gabrielmansano V4Rotor. But a W16 rotor would be cooler.
Although my knowledge of spacing tells me it may not be "Possible"
UPS is watching this video, and rubbing it's hands together MENACINGLY.
I love how rob is dedicating his life to go against the car narrative of; "on a long enough timeline, everything gets an LS" .
Rob went to a car show one day and saw an LS in an RX-7 and like Bruce Wayne seeing his parents getting murdered was the PTSD for Batman, that moment still keeps him up at night and in the shop.
Yeah but the C8 is not a LS. It is a LT2. Two different engines. But I get where your are coming from.
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE You can say they are completely different, but the LT's are just a variation of the LS engine, considering they are LS Generation V. They are indeed LS engines still.
@@SkylineBNR34 . That's why they call them a LT-2. They might look similar but the bore spacing and crank are completely different hence the LT-2 engine code designation.
😂 😂 😂
Mark Thomas But you HAD to “correct” him anyway. That makes you a DOUCHE.
noone:
Rob Dahm: "Not efficient for only making 1000 whp"
Also Rob: "He's actually working on my 6 rotor core right now" *_casually moves on_*
Did I miss a video outside this one ?? where he revealed this ??
berend folkers I don’t keep up with this channel too much but I remember him mentioning a 6 rotor a few months ago
@@berend109 czcams.com/video/oxTXfdq_1oA/video.html
@@kalle4836thanks
6 rotors.... thatd be a MONSTER. O_O
*goes back to ls fest with it*
I’d be disappointed if he didn’t.
He liked your comment. We all know what this means
Is the C8 allowed at LS fest stock? I thought it came with an LT engine
@@M1lomay it's all about LS and LTs. Basically, they include all LS powered vehicles, as well as the newer version of the "LS", the LT.
They'll lock him up and throw away the key ;)
Therapist: shaved Rob doesnt exist he cant hurt you.
Shaved Rob: hi. Im rob dahm
😂😂😂💀💀
Didn't you leave this same comment on Cleets latest video?
@@baby-sharkgto4902 i doubt he left the same comment. why would he talk about rob on cleetus' video
hahahah
Tanner Shanks prolly talking about cleet shavin his face
The year is 2043, Rob Dahm has finally finished his 4rotor project...........maybe.
Definitely
Finally C8 content that won't suck. I feel like every creator got their hands on that car, and saturated CZcams with it. Its boring the car itself is an engineering marvel, but the content is the same. Thank you for destroying the monotony of same old builds. This is why, You Da Man
At least Speedphenom is using the C8 correctly!!
@@jayjones3458 hell ya showing the potential of the car to its fullest
Waiting for Cleeter to get his C8.
NEWS FLASH: Rotary boy's biggest cost (oil) has gone away so now he can afford a brand new c8 vette to rotary swap
@Max Power except he cant just sit. He runs a full time IT company and repair center. These videos are just for the enjoyment of us. We should be greatful, i know i am.
More than that, he could afford a hair cut!
@@rexrunner does he still have the IT company?
@Max Power how/why is he worth millions? i dont know much about him. is youtube and all these builds just a hobby, not his main income?
nevermind i read further down, someone said he owns an it company etc.
I’ve known three rotary owners, this comment is accurate.
My friends used to pour an entire can of two stroke fuel every time they filled up, they said the fuel needed to have a small ratio of lube for the internals, that’s so crazy.
I’ll check back in 6 years when it’s done 😂
Oof
chris underdown hopefully now he knows what he doing so maybe the c8 will be quicker
lol, it would be nice if he just completely finish the current car from inside and out then move on to the next one.
Seriously man! Finish the damn 4 rotor first before another big project!!!
Well considering the C8 isn’t going to be completely fabricated from the ground up, I doubt it will take 6 years. But god forbid people have priorities other than pleasing you.
NOOOO YOU CANT JUST PUT A 4 ROTOR INTO A CORVETTE
haha corvette go braaaaaap
Alright, see yall in 7 years when he finally finishes the c8
Exactly
It's been 4 already. 7 May have been ambitious.
Who is that guy and what have they done with Rob Dahm? 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry but i can't stop laughing! HAHAHAHAHA
That's not rob
Roll the keeps ad lol
@@fpv568 is that a side effect of using it?😂😂
@@pricey0986ify He didn't tell us the whole story ...
Now the next time he does a Keeps ad he can show you before and after pictures of how much its helped his hair grow😂
Keeps took the hair back?
He didnt meet all his contractual agreements 😂😂😂
Lol
Lmaooo
Rob probably ended their relationship to be with Valvoline but honestly I'm willing to lose my hair if I had 3 (and maybe even 4) rotary projects all at the same time 🤣
ominousg2 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we just take a second to appreciate that the aerovette had a SIX POINT FOUR LITER FOUR ROTOR. That is 1.6 liters PER ROTOR!
That's what I was thinking, 6.4 liter rotory motor?! Fuck...
You could say that is the "apex" in rotary displacement. :)
@@ronlewis8398 If youre saying the apex seals broken 1st then youre wrong its the corner seals
19:51 Rob Dahm:"You know me, I like to move quick"
Yeah we certainly do!
Hairs looking good Rob..... if you’re going for that recovering alcoholic look!! 🤣😂
Even on a day like today, boosted rotary is my only drug.
Rob Dahm fair to say if that’s your drug then you’re an addict!! Love your work mate from Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Rob Dahm you should see Mazda RX500 prototype may give you inspiration some days
Hey hey hey, we have Mohawks, he is almost there.
Oh wait... Opiates and alcohol recovery addict so maybe he is rocking it right... LoL
Ah, cool. Should be just about ready when the c18 comes out...
😲😲😲😲😲😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rob Dahm: We're going to rotary swap a C8
Also Rob Dahm (internally): I need another excuse to wear dad shoes and jorts
2025: For the next episode, we are buying a McLaren F1 and we are swapping a 3.9L 6 rotor 39b Engine sponsored by our new partners, sunoco fuel
dont be ridiculous, he will be buying a mclaren formula 1 car, making it awd, amd putting a tri turbo 4.5l 8 rotor that makes 2000 whp
Wow, this channel and the progress on your projects... I would never imagine another 4 rotor and even a 6 rotor coming from you when I started watching this channel back in 2016... I'm real thrilled about this C8 but most importantly I am very very happy to see how far you made it, from the guy who had a 3 Rotor and a Diablo to the guy who is about to have his second 4 rotor car and preparing for owning a 6 rotor... I'm proud of you Rob
Not just two 4 rotors, one is about to be in a brand new C8 Vette. Which will also be his 2nd rotary powered Corvette. He's come a long way.
Next up on Rob Dahn: We swapped 2 parallel 6 Rotors into a M1 Abrams Tank.
lol
"Hi, I'm Rob Dahm. And this, is my 6 rotor squared M1 Abrams Tank running on jet fuel."
I think a 12-rotor would be a better fit for that one
@@halofreak1990 12 rotor too long, too much force on the Eshaft, dual 6 rotor work better.
Fuel mileage is measured in gallons per yard
Man. GREAT descriptions for everything! This was very informative for someone that's never dealt with rotary engines. Can't wait to see the progress!
Mr. Zora Duntov is watching you from above with pride I'd say. My dad retired from Corvette so I'm really anxious for this to happen too. It should be a beast!
4 rotor almost done- *Lets build a 6 rotor*
*you know what lets repair my 3 rotor*
3 Rotor rebuild - *ight, Lets build a 4 rotor corvette*
Can't finish a damn thing
@@TeeOna2Stroke rather take time than kyle from boostedboiz Who just half ass everything 😂😂🤔😂
Would be nice to see a completed project from him. Everything is done to perfection but during the middle of that he switches to something else.
@@teamdrivealot8441 i dont think Kyles build quality is a _thaat_ bad his mr2 seems like its tied up pretty good. i think most of the time he just wants to get behind the wheel. brent makes fun of him enough to make him change his ways
norflett a ‘’dahm’’ thing
I see you're rocking corona virus hairstyle as well, like many of us.
And the rest of us are rocking long hair because we missed a hair cut weeks before quarantine
Same I went for the buzz
nah real rona cut is grown out
@@Shyzah nah real corona is cutting it yourself and end up looking like Rob
Same for me. Ended up a #2 all around yesterday lol. My head has some unique shapes just recently discovered
Ordinary people: let's swap the rx7 with a Ls
Rob: hmm, let's swap the Corvette with a rotary
2000iq play by rob
One makes sense, the other doesn't
@@porkbuttrocks one sounds ridiculous (in all senses of the word, good and bad), the other sounds uninspired ;)
@@NelGabriel I'd be surprised if they ever put 1000 miles on the C8. But this isn't about that, it's about that sweet marketing money. Thank god for uBlock Origin.
i mean they could just exchange their engines
I actually had an ear to ear smile after only a minute into the video I'm so hype for this
1:47 “a 6.4L 4 rotor” Jesus Christ
I guess they didn't have enough torque
Rotary rpm is 1/3 so 6k is really 2k. They have tons of torque when you realize this fact
I feel that this is the real talking point here...
My guess is that they counted all 3 chambers per rotor. Mazda doesn't do that, so it'd be quoted as a 2.1L by mazda
@@iamaperson1337 2,6l from mazda, hence the 26b name
Rob over here trying to be all serious with an epic project and i just can't stop laughing with his hair, i haven't laugh that much in a long time! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@@RobDahm quarantine hair style. Two options, the one he has, or what I'm doing, and just growing a mop on top and a full bushy beard. Lol
@@RobDahm I thought your hair was getting out of control before, the cut works.
Rob looks great..... you should see StreetSpeeds hair 🤣 This coronavirus has put the barber shops on hold
@@RobDahm flo-bee anyone
And we all thought that he was just napping after his haircut. It turns out that Rob was negotiating with Valvoline to be a partner on his site, and he understands the advantages of having deep pockets! All to our benefit!! He has forgotten more about these engines than most folks ever knew. Full speed ahead!
I'll come back in 5 years, to see the finished product...
Hey working with rotaries on cars that arent even meant to have rotaries and pushing said engine to its limits all the same time isn't easy.
This madman is going to buy a brand new freaking c8 and just rip it's heart out and use it as a paper weight and I freaking love it
Remember when Brittany Spears shaved her head and went bat shit crazy?
Rotary Rob Damn has finally reached that point
2:38 did I miss some drama here?
Link me to this video. Haven't been following this channel very long
it´s not insanity, it´s dedication!
Rob you are the only channel that i really can watch for 20 minutes with no driving just talking im not sure why but it is so and Valvoline is awesome
I want to get back to driving but doing the most with the quarantine times haha
@@RobDahm love you guys
Great video and idea Rob, thank you!
A new 4 rotor Corvette is the most awesome idea I've ever heard. I can't wait to see it!
How's the keeps sponsorship going Rob?
maybe you can say he was not able to "keep it" eh? haha haha haha
@@dyingangelo a hair earlier on the reply than me!
He didn't lose his sponsorship, it's just thinning!
hahah i actually cut my hair for the ad to show that im fortunate to have hair to cut hahaha
The year is 2078 “My son finished my rotary swapped C8 Corvette”
I wouldn't be surprised...
Nah more like "My grandson got started on the C15 Vette hydrogen 6 rotor build, but don't worry we're still working on that vintage AWD 4 rotor RX7..."
Where my dawg at?
I really think Chevy missed an opportunity to call the C8 the Aerovette. I've loved the concept for a while so them actually making a mid engined Corvette made me happy, and now I'm even happier that you're rotary swapping one (my favourite type of engine).
Keep it up Rob, cant wait to see what happens next
F*** yeah, big sponsors baby! Happy for you man. Your content is honestly my favorite on CZcams. Can't wait for whats in store!
Some people just wanna watch the world burn... Rob Dahm has the matches for it
I'm proud of you, been following for a long long time and what amazes me the most is that you said f you to the people that screwed you over and you took full responsibility of your projects. Keep it up, I strongly believe that you're capable of doing this mostly on your own and I'm looking forward to this and many more projects.
LA: Look at how clean our air is now. No smog!
Rob Dahm: More rotors!
Single handedly trying to bring LA back to normal
I love it. One of the owners of the place I used to work at was an engineer in the rotary Vette project at GM. Small world.
Amazing how many so-called "corvette fans" don't know about the aerovette. It had an absolutely massive rotary! It had the falcon doors that tesla used as their claim to fame on the model x. It had a digital dash, and adjustable pedals... it was truly a car of the future.
The Delorean had those style doors as well.
@@1216jimmyz did they? These doors were double hinged for space conservation
Absolutely they did. Also, Mercedes had "gull wing" doors back in the 50s or 60s. They are worth SHIT loads of money now. Lol
@@1216jimmyz No. The Delorean and Mercedes "Gull Wing" had fixed doors, with just a roof hinge.
This is the exact swap I was gonna do in a couple years. Mine is gonna be all motor. We'll go cruising together when they're finished. 😁
750+ HP ain't no joke, either. 4-rotors are nasty, regardless of how they get their air.
I greatly appreciate the technical information!!! Thanks Rob keep it up!!!
love that he is talking about Valvoline oil and a ad interrupts him and a advertisement for Havoline plays. Way to go CZcams...

Omg why would you replace a 'state of the art' Bug ol v8 with a sewin machine?!'
I could listen to rob explain stuff all day. He sounds excited.
I must commend you for taking on this project and for committing to the purchase of the internet's hottest 'new' car just to take it apart. Your description of the 4 rotor engine design, modifications and performance was amazing (although much was wasted on me). During the process of bouncing from engine to engine to engine and back I ended up dizzy and feeling video drunk. I look forward to watching your progress. Many CZcamsrs are claiming 'the first' C8 this-or-that...you are actually doing C8 firsts. Good luck.
Zora would be proud. This is amazing.
Rob Dahm you just don’t slow down do you. Savage.
Rob....you F@#*king ROCK!!! this is probably the most badass project Iv ever heard of and Ur the man to do it!!!!!! If we're talking ground breaking innovative projects...no one even comes close and I salute you for having the balls to pull it off......YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!
I’ve been using Valvoline VR1 20/50 since 2011 in my 13B REW single turbo. It’s great oil!
I guess I need to do the oil changes myself now, or DM Isaiah ...
Hahaha I forgot I put that in the video
Wait the april fools was 20 days ago
Oh wow, the explanation about the different pulse strengths were interesting. I would have never thought these sorts of things had to be worked around.
Everyone: Don't LS swap an Rx-7 WTF!
Rob: I have an idea....
"YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT?" -GM RAGE ENSUES-
Well GM developed the rotary & sold it to Mazda sooo...
@@joshkamp7499 It was a rhetorical comment, soooooooo........
Sounds like Rob never received the rotors from Abel he paid for.
Nope! Things went South with Abel really quick between these two, mostly because abel is a douchebag.
Or the right housings?
@@octane613 Who was/is Abel now ? I cant remmember this..
@@octane613 that Abel guy never got excited or showed enthusiasm towards Dahms project it's crazy how you could be such an ass to withhold 10k worth of parts from a paying customer.
@@teamdrivealot8441 Abel USED to be a really respected member of the rotary and tuning crowd, before he started pissing off customers, and not just Rob.
I’ve never been a fan of rotaries, but with Vargas brothers, Hert, and you I’m starting gain interest in them. They sound insane.
LS swapped heathen here and I love this, going to be a hell of a ride!
Rob looks like he just got out of jail..
He really sounds like he is teaching himself the stuff he is telling us as he is saying it.
Many great engineers have brought amazing ideas to the GM design lab. Only to be crushed by bean counters and stoic management. You honor the efforts of those good men by bringing the rotary powered C8 to life.
This will be the most exiting C8 content ever! Thank you Rob!
First Thought: Its 4.20, What have you been smoking to do a 4 Rotor C8??!
Second Thought: Wait you got two 4 rotor engines?!?
makes you wonder who his plug is
Dom: Look me in the eyes, look me in the eyes... say "Thank you Valvoline"
-- Thank you d̶a̶d̶d̶y̶ Valvoline
Awesome idea, so intrigued too see this build develope!!
Yes this is goin to be awesome. Cant wait to see u post on this series. Always look forward to seeing ur post but now rotary C8. Badass.
Check back in 2025 when Rob starts this project
i'll take the engine. my 20 year old F-150 needs an upgrade over the factory 5.4 2v
I went to the Portland auto show about 3 or so months ago and when I saw the c8 I said “what if that had a rotary?”.
I burst out laughing when I saw this video. Couldn’t believe someone is doing it.
Rob is the rotor master!!!! I had zero idea these motors where so wild and amazing. Thanks Rob for A+ content and knowledge
I love your quarantine hair
I’ve been waiting for this and I’m so stoked for the rotary Aerovette build👊
Please take it to LS-fest😂
LS-fest have balls to let him in and give special place!
they deserve some respect for this
(just remember what they have done for 13b vette)
Wow been that long already. I been to defined auto works great guy and makes 4 rotor motors a dream come true. Keep up the good work and making the Corvette cool in my eyes again.
You absolute hooligan, I already love this project.
Very interesting to learn about the different irons used and such, too!
That being said... how much for the C8 engine?
20k
Beat me to it! I don't even have a sports car, but would love to see it scorch the tires on my old Tahoe! LOL
Nah...it'll be well under 10k as a full turn key set up through GM Performance Parts. Don't forget that this is the base LT engine basically. I mean, you can get the 755HP LT5 for just about 18k ready to drop in.
You mean the engine that's coming out, or the rotary that's going in?
*Title:*
*Me:* What the Hell is wrong with him and 4 rotors?!
😂😂😂
I hope this build comes together soon! I want to see it perform on the streets! Badass.
Exciting plans Rob!! It’s getting even more interesting! Love your work 👍🏻👍🏻
Rob, you have come a LONG way since recommending Adderall to kids.
@anonymous He probably sells it out the trunk of that old Lincoln he bought years ago.
anonymous which 600k build?
anonymous damnnn I didn’t know that
Alpha Wërks thanks
Where can I find that video

Keeps: Am I a joke to you?
Happy to see Rob getting this partnership.
Congrats on your outstanding channel, your "Epic" rotor builds, and all that you do, all of your success is coming and well earned! I love what you do and I love watching too! Thank you!!!!
Instead of swapping an LS into an EX7 they are replacing an LS with a rotary, beautiful irony
I feel like corona virus will be cured before this things done 😂
I can't wait to see this build .
Freaking epic! Can't wait to see it getting built.
This guy need to make his mind up what he's building.
He has... He's building everything duh 🤷♂️🤣
