Nitrous-Fed Hemi Ram vs Rob Dahm's 4-Rotor AWD RX-7 // THIS vs DAHM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Castro has a lotta experience racing his Dodge Ram and he’s got the setup to prove it. Viking coilovers all around, fat Mickey Thompson tires, and extensive plumbing for two BIG bottles of Nitrous. But did @RobDahm do some secret tuning to his Hoonicorn-inspired, home-built 4-Rotor Mazda RX-7?

So much can happen overnight with a tune! This was going to be a fair race but it got moved to the second day of filming and i spent all night looking at the logs. Im definitely preparing to race the bigger cars with my bigger turbo!
I'd be working on a tune too if my six figure one-off got dusted by a 4 seater Audi Sedan.
Whatever you did in the tune was perfect. I pissed myself after hearing that launch in the first round it was that good. One hell of a car dude.
RoB jou YSTER
@@spewp since when has a Audi TT been a sedan? it’s a coupe you vapid mong.
@@spewp the 4 seater audi sedan is ignorant to say, a sedan is a 4 seater lol
Also it’s not slow at all
hell yes, need to have the big hitters when Rob gets the larger turbo setup. also need the rematch against Hoonicorn with Lia driving as a bonus episode.
That would break the internet if lia busted out the hoonicorn again
@@killeralltires the homicide lmao
I thought the hoonicorn was shelved after the Ford deal ended. I could be wrong.
@@haveaniceface7290 Only an assumption here, but I think only Ken was signed by Audi. Lia can probably drive whatever she wants
this is what I came here to say.. that was embarrassingly bad matchup.
I love the fact that Rob has spent so much time developing, tweaking and improving the car but still uses a piece of 2 by 4 as his hood prop
Gotta follow the budget
Never forget your roots. In more ways than wood does 🪵
Still waiting for the 2000 hp 4 rotor
I think that’s a tuner car classic right there
I feel like the best part about this is seeing the Hoonigan crew genuinely excited to create content again. I don't think they have been this pumped about anything since they lost Ken. I really think Rob is going to be the catalyst that revives this channel. Best one-sided race I've ever seen on This vs That.
I didn't think of that, thank you.
Once again thank you Hoonigan for hosting Rob.
We all know how much Hoonigan and Ken meant to him, and everyone.
This is such a great tight community, thank you for keeping the spirit.
Fast and Furious crew IRL
He will never be Ken
@@luisdasilva2324 i don't think he wants to be.
@@TheHighborn 100 percent 😭 if ken was alive dang wouldn’t have a segment ! 👇👇
Man I wanna see the Hoonicorn against Rob now!! Especially now that body parts aren't flying off lol
😂😂😂
The Hoonicorn would still win easily.
@@brasshound4442 it was alreadz close last time
@@nudl3Zz It was and now it seems Robs car is much faster so ya never know!!!
@@brasshound4442 Don't know till we see it.
Can’t wait to see Rob with the big turbo 4 rotor against the heavy hitters!!
Happy they brought back a little more banter, that was always my favorite part of this series.
We definitely need a Hoonicorn rematch with Lia driving it at some point.
it's gonna be special for everybody when that day became.
@@jacekatomalacek2901 for sure. It would be a very emotional day for a lot of people for sure
When the time feels right and she feels right, I do want to see that happen. Definitely will be a spectaculer video. Also, im just super proud of Block family and Hoonigan for despite what happened and how it didn't happen long time ago everyone got back on their feet and keep doing what they truly believe at. Ken would be proud of everybodyo sure, may he rest in peace.
@@royliber3824 Yeah I fully agree with this. Ken was a legend and will never be forgotten. I wish all the best to Lia, losing a father at that age is one of the hardest things to go through in life. Rest in peace Ken Block
wouldn't be fair coz rob is a shit driver lul
love hearing Isaiah getting in there, dude is a true artist who deserves recognition for the work he put into that car.
They literally put their heart and soul in to the car, much respect
He's DEFINITELY an artist.. I've enjoyed watching those two build it almost as much as them running it.
Yes, Dahm part 2 is a must vs some of the heavy hitters!! Would love to see a rematch with the TTRS too!!
We absolutely need more of this!!
The most impressive thing about this series is Rob's car actually running for more that 10 minutes! 😬
Also it hasn’t shed any parts 💥
@@Fabulousprofound168 Dialed it in...
Exactly that thing is a piece of junk 🤣 it doesn't even have a complete floor like wtf 🤣
@smh28v6 bruh he made the whole car basically. the fact it has selectable awd is badass in itself
@@PeeingBleach yeah it really does look like someone who didn't have a clue made it 🤣🤣
First time I’ve really seen the 4 rotor actually gripping and running well in drag races. It’s always been races where something goes wrong every run and now the car seems like it’s actually controlling the power it already had.
The car loves to go straight fast not around corners.. Dedicate the BEAST for drag racing👍
he’s just racing a vehicle that is significantly heavier and makes less power. i don’t think anything is any different at all.
@@el00hel the heavier car actually got better traction at the start by having more mass pushing down on the tires, its not to say rob dont got traction but his advatage is just after the start going in to #2 gear.
that might be a part of why the blue audi he raced seem to hook up better in the start and he had some power also down the stretch.
youve never seen team puerto rico then. i challenge you to look them up. boriquas be crazyyyyyy with the rotaries
@@el00hel uhhh if you can’t tell the difference your comment is irrelevant
One of my all time favorite videos was the 4 rotor vs the Hoonicorn. I'm excited to see round 2.
@RobDahm was some of the best This Vs That content yet. Hope there's a second series of these.
Gary grabbing Isaiah and calling him a sneaky little bastard is killing me LOL
Rob's car looked like it was on crack today, just shows you how much it's improving even between episodes
Next part has to have some of the heavy hitters though, with the rate it's improving it's gonna be able to handle its own with them
losing two races back to back changes a man haha
@Rob Dahm honestly the trial and error is one of the best parts of a build like this, and is one of the reasons why I've been hooked on to this series for so long. Just inspired me to plan to build a car that has the same concept of the 4 rotor, except with an engine with even worse reliability (if it can even be built): an '04 Impreza with 2 EJ20's connected together to make a flat 8. Although that has to wait until I am actually out of college and have some spare income, so it won't be starting until 10 years later haha
@@Yaz27 Two EJ20s on a single crank? Who hurt you and why did you enjoy it? This is entirely new levels of automotive masochism.
@shred1894 growing up my family always had a Subaru as the "workhorse car" and while most of them were not top-spec models (a 1.6 Blobeye, a 2.5 Outback '06 and then a 2.5 Legacy '10) I just grew attached to the brand.
This is why I want to have a WRX STi one day, and then while watching Rob's videos I said to myself "wait a fucking second, I have an idea!" And this whole mid-engined, flat 8 Blobeye just came to mind as my "final vision for how far you can push a Subaru"
@@Yaz27 Rip your bank account, interpersonal relationships, emotional wellbeing, and sense of self-worth. I mean power to you for doing something crazy, but I hope you know what you'll be getting into.
We need more of this
YES! DEFINITELY DO A PART 2!!
"Let us know if you want to see that." Scotto of course we want to see that, THAT IS ALL WE ARE HERE FOR! We want races, more turbos, bigger turbos, nitrous, fat wide tires, skinny little front tires, we want it all! Love you boys, keep bringing the stuff we love!
Love coming home from work just to be met by the sound of a rotary.
4 of them lol
Get a wife
Damn what time zone you in?
I do to.. only mine are fc’s I’ve been building for 10+ years lol
@@dannyr3346 are they running
Need people like On Da Gas and robs tuner to be a challenge lol
absolutely a must for part 2
I've been waiting years for this moment. Rob and Isaiah have finally gained the confidence to attempt to tame the beast they created.
I respect how Rob never sandbags his runs. Every hit is a full on run (and I'm sure he's gathering all the data).
Definitely want to see more of this series! Bring that content on!
1000% need that part 2 with all the big cars
Impressive how many races the 4rotor did
he was just bedding the apex seals, now i'ts starts the fun part.
yeah. rob really designed it to be reliable. once he ironed out the issues it had previously while racing, it's a beast.
It went back to back to back and the engine gained compression by the end of it! haha go figure
@@RobDahm So happy that the dream is a reality for you! It's amazing to see the highs and lows of the whole project. Keep up the hard work sir!
@@RobDahm what a car man, that sound is unreal
Ken’s definitely proud of Rob’s progress
Ken was salty. He didnt like that rob borrowed designs from the hoonicorn and he didnt like that the 4 rotor could throw punches at it. Who cares what ken would think anyway
@@dingusbingus8554 that was a little rough but yeah real fans know ken had a lot of grit and wanted the w by any means
@@itskindavulgar5276 well he was a race car driver, they all want to win no matter what at the end of the day..
Ken is dead.
I would imagine ken is looking down and laughing at him because that piece of shit is a fucking death trap 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro, these second race with the plane edit had me literally choking laughing lmfao every single video. Your editor needs another raise I swear😂😂😂😂
I absolutely want to see more of Dahm!!
I wish Rob was running like that in some of the past videos, probably would have taken the win on most of those Ls. That baby is screaming! It's crazy watching Rob and the mazda come so far over the years. Love it!
These were all filmed on the same day, so this might have been one of the races earlier in the day
@@arckylie3081 they filmed the first 3 one day, then this last one a day later.. you not listen to people talk? they talked about it quite a lot... he spent the night tuning it lol
@@s1nistersausage in my defense I commented before I got that far in the video 😂😂 and a lot of the time I have these videos on with no sound
Rob's car looked way faster this round. Looking forward to more!
Yep. The launch is so hard.
Hell yes! Season II please!!!
I can honestly say the Rob Vs I could watch every week :D
Stock 5.7 Ram with nitrous vs. Fully engineered 4-rotor purpose built race car...this was a no contest. I wanna see Rob race the Hoonicorn.
Gotta find cars that are closer to each other in performance
I think that was the intention but they changed the tune :)
I think part of the problem is that most racers lie about how much power their car makes.
No one fast wanted to lose to a 4 rotor 😂
rob got smoked last time so they gave him a ego boost this time lmao they do it all the time
Fr
Yes we would love to see part 2 of this vs DAHM 🎉
Can’t wait to see the big turbo race!
4:53 I love how every bit of that Rx7 has been modified to fit the whole awd system & it still actually looks like a Rx7 😍🔥
The chemistry and general vibe of yall is always so fantastic and fun, this is such a blast to watch because of the energy you guys bring
Can't wait to see part two:))
I agree we need a Dahm vs Hoonicorn episode. I am liking the addition of Georjah to the group.
Man... I feel like Dahm should just be apart of Hoonigan at this point, seeing how often we see him... And I'm here for it!
Yes Bring out the hoonicorn let’s see what happens hoonicorn hoonicorn let’s go 🔥
This was a good one. The banter was stronk. 😂
Full awd racecar with double the power of a stock interior rwd dodge truck 👏🏻 👏🏻
I just love Dahm's story. Talk about fighting through adversity and accomplishing a goal no matter the road that gets you there. Then reaping the benefits of all your hard work, and living your dreams for a while. Inspiring. It takes some serious dedication to accomplish what this man has done. Pretty cool. Is there room for one more rotor? 5 Rotor 2500whp AWD Rx7... I could see that being the next big step in the evolution of the car.
ruclips.net/video/HdLRA5quvk8/видео.html
6 rotor project already started, just hasn't been talked about.
@@slightly.above.average Think the rotors (and maybe housings?) are no longer in production, watching rob's videos they have to be balanced very carefully in weight, composition, wear etc - have a feeling it's not that simple unless you have hundreds of thousands to throw around
@@aciid_0 He stated he's making his own billet parts and he said how he wants it to be all billet like his 4 rotor. I'm sure in time there will be an update on that project.
My thing is dont do all that then race slow opponents....bring a big turbo evo or a GTR....watch all that work go to nothing
@@duomaxwell5807 that's the whole point of the new series. It's coming don't you worry.
Keep going with This vs Dahm!!!
Dat plane graphic on the last overview! 🔥🔥🔥
Rob is so humble he forgets how much he has learned and perfected
Mastered
His Driven/ built many cars
How can you not like Dahm? Glad to see his success
I feel like most people just roast him cause it's in good fun and he takes it well, and the rest aren't in on it and just like to talk shit
we need another round soon.... Robs rebuilding the whole thing, I GOTTA see that thing race again XD
solid stuff! looks like these races are helping rob dial the car in more, love to see it getting faster and faster
Rob is one of the few people in existence that can say "but we have rotory at home" and not let you down with that reminder. 😅 the forbidden dorito lives❤
My boy Castro held it down! Ram did amazing it was just a poorly matched up race! lets get castro and soto back on the show against a better match up😎🔥🔥
MOST DEFINITELY!!
Hell yeah !!!
Sitting on the toilet, alone in my house, and absolutely busted out laughing when Vin got to smell that NOS burp.
always fun to try and guess filmed order.
Rob just gets better and better at explaining his build everytime he’s on this show 😂
On Todays Episode of the Hoonigan Lunchtime Launch. Rob Dahm mops up the mopars.
Part 2 let’s gooooo!!
I love this new series! Great content. Never forget 43.
Rob's RX-7 really seems to be getting dialed in now! That looked fast! In fact, those runs looked like they were well into Hoonicorn territory, and a rematch definitely needs to happen with Lia behind the wheel!
Just wait until he upsides the turbo😳
@@0mniVerse777 No need to wait, he already did it, let's just say 60psi is the limit of the engine 😁
@@joealex65 we won't know the limit of the engine until it explodes
These intro's are almost getting better then the races itself 😂😂.
Keep it up guys great video's as always! 🙌❤️
Watching Rob plant the f@#$ out of that 4 rotor is finally itching the scratch ive had wanting to see you do that since i started watching you working on it over a year ago. Love what its come to man, heres to a few more "great gaps-by's" on the next ones, from Sydney Aus ✌🏼
We need more races!!!
It's really good to see you put this thing down to the track Rob. I've been waiting for your car to finally be all together and start being consistent. I was hoping you were going to crush everyone but I totally get how hard you work on the 4 rotor and things happen.
Robs burnout before the first race gives me shivers. Love that car!
7:08 Airheads reference? Y’all’s editor is on point. Also, that truck never had a chance.
HELL YES WE WANT TO SEE THOSE RACES!!!!1
Another bomb episode. That 4-rotor might just be the new Hoonicorn, with how it’s shadowing that playlist and getting faster every pull. That nitrous fed Ram is slick as hell too
Dunno if the Hoonicorn should ride again or not... but if it ever does... would love to see a rematch of Dahm vs Hoonicorn.
Pretty sure that's Lias car now, so it's probably down to her if it races again
Yes!!! We want to see part 2!!!!
AmpppPPPPeeed for this series.
Love seeing the banter between Rob and Isaiah against the hoonigan team 😂
Can we all just take a second and admire how bad ass Robs car sounds. I think I listened to second race at least 10 times
Yes, we wanna see it!!
Honestly the best part of these is the transition music.
Can't wait to see what this thing does with the bigger turbos!
Keep em coming lads. Glad to see you lot still working after all the shit things thatve happened recently. Good on yous 💯
Waiting for big boy this vs dahm!
CANT WAIT to see the new big turbo vs the hoonicorn! Ive been waiting for this matchup for ages
Sounds like the higher diff ratio was done as Rob suggested previously as the gears got now reasonably long.
Also it looks like to boost dropping during gearchange issue was solved as It was accelerating smooth unlike the previous jumping during gear changes.
Yea i noticed that too, the car just pulled during every shift. I feel like the short gear ratio is perfect for this track tho
So nice to see the dammn thing keeps getting faster and more dialed.. I still vividly remember when people were saying this build is a lie and will never run haha.
Can't wait for part 2
Always love the show but can we get the gang hanging around talking about the cars, that was one of my favourite. So funny!
Rob looks a lot more comfortable as he puts some mileage on the RX, not to mention the refined tune. Excited for more races!
That truck is sick af, but the 4 rotor just eats. Way to go Rob👍👊
this vs dahm part 2 lets go!
Cnt wait for partt 2
Rotary babyyyy❤
Letss gooo
That would be the first time I’ve seen NOS energy drink used as burnout fluid
This is by far the best performance I have ever seen produced by robs car . And I have seen every single one . One things that still needs tuning are his gear ratios....or his final drive gear
They seem too short. Buts its probably picking up speed quick on full boost.
I love how they haven't replaced the rear window. That car is MOVING! Gotta love how much they're cheesing about it! I can't wait til they get it dialed in just right and get to hoonicorn levels. Might have to add another rotor to start racing jets
Keep em coming yall
Well I mean what did you expect was gonna happen 😂
I am ready for Lia and the Hoonicorn to come back!
Hell yes. I just want to see this thing take off more and more.
i deff want this to be a series lol
Damn that Ram is heavy af that’s 1000 pounds more than my old gmc rcsb.
That's a pretty standard weight for a truck its size. Not exactly heavy considering 4WD trucks enter the the 5,000Ibs territory lol.
@@PyroBlonde7777 my full size rcsb truck weighed 3940 (without me in it) with a full-size spare thats 1000lbs difference just about
@@Sawyer1117 I just did a google search and the only rcsb truck to weigh 3940 is a non A/C truck with a small 5.3. The rest sit of the 2WD 2 doors weigh around 4,400Ibs. That's pretty much expected from an older truck (99-2004) with less interior features.
@@PyroBlonde7777 yep had a 1999 gmc with a cammed 5.3.
