- Turbo 3 Rotor RX7 with a DCT?! Normally we're all about 90's legends retaining manual transmissions, but this setup is glorious! Tajh originally built his RX7 with a t56 manual trans but then decided to take the leap into swapping a dual clutch transmission from a BMW and never turned back. The car is an absolute blast and delivers such a different sensation than we're used to feeling from an old school rotary. Stay tuned to learn everything about this incredibly cool build, thanks for watching!

I absolutely love Tajh’s car! I went with the hardcore t56 but it’s hard to ignore how smooth the DCT maintains power to the road. Love seeing the innovation.
Yes Rob, great seeing you give love to other build methodologies.
love you rob you are one of the reasons why I am still alive
Of course you're here 🤣
You did the right thing. The DCT is hottt, but its moving the FD away from its roots. A sequential would be the ultimate trans but a T56 is the way I would go.
@Rob Dahm, when's the next video, we hungry 😩
"It's a simple build, nothing too crazy" he says of 900hp 3 rotor DCT swapped RX7 with a turbo bigger than my head. Whatever this dude's idea of batshit crazy is something I need to witness
One of them 3k hp vipers, those are nuts
I guess he means compared to a proline hemi with twin 98s on it or something... XD
@@swish2519 those are freaks of nature, they aren’t even billet blocks yet
@@THESLlCK yeah... I saw on Calvo's IG that they're working on a billet block for 3500-4000+hp setups
@@whotf888 a WHAT now? I thought their most powerful car was like 2700, these guys are crazy!
This dude's car is sick and he seems like a pretty cool dude too.
Only a cool dude can have a car like this 🤙
Yeah most guys that are into this scene with a car like this are not that cool . But this guy is awesome
@@Vgk36 “most guys” with a car of this caliber don’t build it and do 90% of the work themselves. They just have the deep pockets and pay a shop to do it and then pick up the car on delivery day
@@markypshoots you have to have deep pockets either way lol. The tools and garage aren't free if you want to do it your self not to mention the actual car and parts and time needed to build it.
@@jayknight139 great point! It was already made tho... built vs bought. Shop gets it done in a year l.. you may take 3 to get it right... but the joy that brings makes you not want to sell it.
Those rotaries never fail to amaze me.... They sound like they're just seconds from exploding. Beautiful car and it moves out.
They usually are close to blowing up or was just finished rebuilding it.
@@danmackey9462 and it's still easier to rebuild
@@danmackey9462 Yea, and when you blow it, you can rebuild it in 3 hours with new seals and back on the road in the same afternoon
Yeah same here
@@rotor13 not always 😂
I love how humble this guy is. You dont see too many car guys like that anymore
I'm one.... right here
Loving that color. The finish on everything in that car is really clean!

Holy!! these rx7's are getting all kinds of upgrades
More like the BMW DCT transmission got an upgrade 🤓
legit the craziest RX7 ive seen in awhile even more then the 4 rotors i have seen. inspiration to the max right here.
Greetings from HTG! Love being part of the build and thanks for DCT choice :D
Hats off🍻
The dct work you guys have done is awesome 👍 one question, in the vid it looks like there's a bit of lag between the paddle pull and the actual gear shift. Is that something you are able to improve in the dct tune?
@@dawggpie there is delay on low load shifts but that's intentional, because if you're driving grandma style it means you're not in rush so why would box have to be in rush then 😅 but as soon as you step on it, that's instant :P
@@HTGtuning ah I see. Is that too improve smoothness of shifts? I was driving a Porsche pdk recently and even at low load the programming felt pretty instantaneous. Possibly slower than high load but still very low latency. Gave a great perception.
I've peppered you guys about this before, but any chance you'll figure out how to interface with the e60 s85 oem ecu (mss85 I believe) canbus? I don't think anyone has done it yet but I think literally every v10 e60 smg owner would switch over to dct in a second. 😁
@@dawggpie We already have communication with s85 ECU done.
And yes, it can be as quick on light load as on high load and still be smooth, but as Tajh mentioned - I did that tune in like half an hour via anydesk with laggy internet :P We will go further than that when time comes :D
All it takes is a look at the passengers faces, that's the definition of fun!
I love how people always say; "Its a simple build you know, nothing too crazy." BRO don't do me like that 😫😂
One of the best TRC vids I've seen! The car, the atmosphere and the vibes are just right along with the music and the scenes! The owner is an absolute lad and he's such a nice dude, really loves his cars.
That Intake Manifold is a Work of ART. Incredible.
Wow that DCT makes such a huge difference... it seems incredibly well matched and tuned to behave as well as it does.
Stark contrast to all the sequential boxes that you usually see in these super-tuner cars.
Now this is quite impressive and different. My God it’s beautiful.
i met the owner of this car at the import revival and he is such a cool and humble guy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I feel lucky to have seen this car. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I saw the RX7 in the thumbnail photo and automaticaly i clicked in. Looking the first pulls though it was a 1jz swapped by the sound and seconds later realised that is a DCT+20b! Sick!
Such a chill owner, seems a genuine dude. Nice motor. Well put together
For those that love cars, foreign and domestic, this is exactly what we want to see. Great work.
His face when the boost starts ramping in.. that feeling is priceless..
This video in a whole is amazing. Keep this shit coming. Good looking mazda!
this is by far your best feature! great interview, full back story of the car and great cinemaphotography. please make more of your features like this!
Mad love for this FD!!!! Its like the dream build man!!! 20B with 900HP and a proper DCT Transmission...that's it!!!!! Rotary heaven!!!!
What an amazing build. Kudos
Love the DCT conversion, I think of it as a modern interpretation of the rx7
The cleanest most civilized RX7 I’ve ever seen. Great job!!
I got a mighty car mods vibe from the music and the way the car video “montage” was shot….awesome video I love those RX-7’s
So much time, effort, money and engineering went in to this project and it shows. Sheeeeesh! 💪👏
But it was simple...he says...lol
@@edarr85 Ha ha, I saw that! I was like WTF?!
Man I love this rx7! I'm a manual guy all the way,but it's really hard to argue that a rotary mated to a dct isn't a beautiful thing....mad props what an exceptional example of a nice rx7
Thank god it's still rotary. I always felt, when owners take the plunge & invest into a rotary, these cars become very hard to beat, vs the typical 2j & lsx swaps
This car had a 2j sitting in it at one point lol
@@taylorframpton2129 and it got fixed cus a 20b is equivalent to a inline 6
Sooooo happy one of these builds made it on the channel.
I’ve seen that car! It was at a car show in tysons, Virginia. Blew my mind when I saw it and blew my mind again seeing the complete build
Rotary is probably the most fun engine to drive. Imo
Super clean build! Love the color, to the wheels, headlights, and that engine bay? Beautiful!
Very beautifully shot cinematography. This rx7 is amazing. Ive noticed a lot of to come BMW DCT swaps...people been hinting this change.
Hell of a build. I saw him post a while back when he was figuring out the trans issue. This thing is a beast.
Lovin the evolution of these cars. DCT in an RX7. so cool
This look is exactly the look I envision doing too. Two thumbs up! Sick build my dude
rotaries are usually stick shifts or sequential, this is the 1st one I see running DCT...
cannot deny that I like it, it's the best of both worlds, fresh AF
That car looks so good it’s crazy this is something a electric car can never give you
Saw this last weekend in person in ocean city absolutely insane car! So clean.
I’ve seen a lot of of RX7’s this one is on a different level. Complete package
Beautiful car. I really am liking these more production style car features!!
I just found my dream RX7! Don't you dare sell that car haha. Probably the coolest and cleanest setup I've seen online with how it looks, drives, and puts the power down. Really cool guy as well!!
Absolutely love the still shots in the cornfield! Never would've thought that badass Mazda would look so great with a country backdrop. Very well done to the owner of the car as well as the photographer/editor 👍
My boy tajh! So much hard work not a better channel to be on bro huge congrats!💯💯💯
I feel like this build is 10 years +
You can really see how the DCT just keeps the car in the right rpm’s to continually build boost. I know Dahm loves his manuals but man this thing really puts it in perspective
The production of these vids have been 🔥
Sweet build. I miss my Rx7 😩
Wow, this is a CLEAN beast of a FD. Nice job Bro!!
Serious congrats. Hell of an achievement with that beautiful hot rod. She’s nasty. Congrats again. That’s what it’s all about. Cars unite us. Never stop.
That fitment!! Dope ass RX-7!!
Best damn car I've seen on this channel hands down 💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥💯💯
This is my favorite car you guys have covered to date. Bad ass build!
one of the coolest builds ive ever seen
Thumbs up 😍
The Quality is simply amazing this was a very good one ❤
Was never one for RX-7's, but damn this thing has it ALL!
Gorgeous car, and really chill owner.
Any rotary with a DC is devastating. First time I’ve seen a rotary with a production DC. Great stuff!
Amazing car and the color is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 one of the best Rx7 I've ever seen.
Very nice. I'm a manual guy but this thing is sick. Much love form NZ.
Beautiful build bro, this is exactly what I was trying to do with my FD. UNFORTUNATELY, all the internals got stole for my 20b. So my car has been sitting since 2008. But I'm gonna get it fixed someday.
Great looking FD and well put together feature video!
I like this guy!! Crazy ideas create amazingly crazy results! Great work..
That is insane fast. Paddle shift is badass. Great job
I love my dct box. Its a game changer.
haha thats awesome his daughter picked out the color for the car. One of my favorite builds ive seen on this channel. Sweet FD
Holy shit. That is one of my favorite builds I've seen in a long time. Amazing.
Great part selection and execution on the build
The dct touch is genius 👌
I’ll never forget the day I drove my brand new 1993 RX-7 R1 (RED) off the lot. Then I took it to a guy named Peter Farrell Supercars, and hooked it up. That was 28 years ago!
Spicy as hell! Beautiful build and definitely unique with the DCT
One of the cleanest FDs out there with crazy power to match!
Man… building the car of my dreams! Amazing stuff. DCTs being used in aftermarket projects really gets me excited for the future of modification!
Very clean setup!! Love this rx7!
Beautiful car
When I saw the video I got GOOSEBUMPS.🔥👌
900+HP 3 Rotor RX7 with DCT Trans?! Yes please with an instant like!
This build is sick as hell. I love the color, i want to paint my s1000RR this color. The DCT is awesome...i would take this over a manual any day man.... awesome job!!
Rarely impressed. Excellent work. Love the dct
One of the coolest features on TRC!
Hey bud Wayne from Motorama, excellent video, I got mt 1st judges award at that show, Iwas pretty stoked. Nice ride man!!!
Holy shit. Literally dream car.
Let me guess from Only this video or fast and furious cuz your a rural simple
Love the paintjob on this beauty
This is a unicorn type of build... It's very well done 😊
Wow
What an amazing machine you built man 😱🙌🏻
Beautiful clean build
Cool owner (that DCT is a thing of beauty)
That’s the transmission rob dahm needs!
I was able to take a picture of it at PanAms. This thing is absolutely beautiful in person. Looks great on RUclips, but a million times more beautiful in person. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rob Dahm needs to step up his game.. this thing is sick.
Rob just needs a bald and a beard. lol
Rob Dahm is sus af
@@ButtKickersReviews you are sus
Put some respect on rob . He’s doing amazing things at his own steps
Put some respek on his name
Sick! Wish I had this option when I built my 20b FD “1bad20b”. Was one the very first one with a t56 swap.
Sick car miss mine.
Man i loved your car! I use to rewatch the videos of it over and over. I was like fuck i need a 20b!
I’ve been watching and waiting for the tuners and people with deep pockets to start bringing more DCT transmission adaptations to some builds. Not that manuals aren’t amazing. But when people are trying to go insanely quick they usually turn to sequential manuals, which is essentially the same formula a DCT is trying to do. It’s just an automated manual that uses two clutch sets instead of one single clutch. One set takes care of odd gears and one set takes care of even gears. So one clutch is always free and ready to go. They’re pretty brilliant pieces of engineering and should be loved!
I have a red 93 RX-7 I'm working on for a while.
Nice work.
words would never do it justice. perfect.
That car is so sick. Beautiful machine
Dream car. Sounds even more like an F1 car with that trans. Fully in love....
Work of art.. well done
The power band is unbelievable. Im also a manual guy mostly because when i grew up if you wanted a good auto trans you were spending 8 grand ..but the tech now is just unbelievable
Your video is truly super inspiring i hope to do this one day and be among the greatest of rotary builders i’d love to have a 93 fd one day after my 90 fc
Dream car for sure. God I love rx7
Beautiful build and different! Love it! Looks like your a tall guy too, looks like those carbon seats knock you down pretty low!
