  • Today was a good day. The first outing for the Scoot tuned, custom built Hiroshima screamer 26B powered FD3S RX7 at Tsukuba circuit and after just a handful of installation laps we managed a 59.875 second lap, which capped the day off beautifully.
    The best thing about the result is that despite traffic and a slipping clutch, the car has MASSIVE potential and surely with the right setup and some more fine tuning and aero improvements, we can get into the 57's...
    Which for the privateer, 600hp naturally aspirated rotary is a MASSIVE achievement.

    2:11 RX-7 used smokescreen. Levin is confused.

    Sooo so sick, I'd take one of these builds over any Lambo / Ferrari / etc. any day... And props to that Levin for giving chase!

    • @7TUNE
      @7TUNE 8 лет назад +5

      +beobe99 The Levin was at max capacity.. the FD was at about 30%...

    • @beobe99
      @beobe99 8 лет назад +4

      Most likely true, but still give props to the Levin for kicking and screaming at 100% - he tried :)

      mrjace3 yeah. The levin impressed me more that the driving of the fd. A third of the power and still kept up. Tscuba is a technical track though. Anywhere else the levin would struggle.

    • @MyRotaryLife
      @MyRotaryLife 7 лет назад +7

    • @Flyingdutchy33
      @Flyingdutchy33 7 лет назад

      Doesnt matter wheter one knows the setup of the AE86. The FD should've been all over it on this track. It's faster with shitbox suspension. You do know what shitbox suspension is, right? Oh wait, I'm guessing you don't. Well let me put it this way, the opposite of shitbox suspension is full aluminium double wishbone suspension (which the FD has). Shitbox suspension is mcpherson struts up front. Come on, everybody knows this shit except for you. Now, I hate to go into shit talking, but with all these millenials commenting on stuff they know absolutely jack shit about, it's kind of hard not to. I apologize regardless if I hurt your wittle feelings.

      @ALIENdrifter66 8 лет назад +61

      +The Saturn Life that's how it's works. there's no other way to do it. The oil you see is mainly the mixture oil and not the proper engine one

    • @sigmaprojects
      @sigmaprojects 8 лет назад +6

      +ALIENdrifter66 I'm sure someone will figure out something.

    • @ALIENdrifter66
      @ALIENdrifter66 8 лет назад +60

      Ali Ahadi Have they figured out how not to burn oil in 2 strokes... yes, changing to 4 strokes. How can you lube the internals of the rotor without burning oil when it has to get where the fuel is?? It just isn't fisically posible

    • @sigmaprojects
      @sigmaprojects 8 лет назад +13

      ALIENdrifter66 What? 2-stoke engine came after four-stroke engines. In any case you make it sound like rotary engines have been around forever, the first prototype was in 1957, that's after WWII. While a 4 stroke engine had a working model in the mid 1800's, it's a bit unfair to think that many advancements can really be made in any time soon when it's taken so long for piston engines to achieve what they can now. I mean even Atkinson cycle is only really starting to be utilized and that was also developed in the 1800's

    4 rotor 26B ( late or early 13b rotors ?)

    • @AryzenI
      @AryzenI 6 лет назад

      looks like something to do with timing retardation... I'm not educated in these things but I'm assuming it's a combination of timing the exhaust to occur before the fuel is burned, and then the heated exhaust pipe causing it to ignite...

    • @rotaryryosuke1552
      @rotaryryosuke1552 5 лет назад

      Ignition cut not fuel cut but yeah

    • @bigboichance3586
      @bigboichance3586 5 лет назад

      Aryzen Inniriea it’s because rotary engines leave a lot of unburned fuel in the combustion chamber which then gets forced out of the exhaust port
