Rob, i remember when you announced the 4 rotor and started selling shirts to go toward the project. I bought a shirt and here i am 3 years later still waiting. It doesnt need 2000 HP. Even if it has 500 hp im happy
2020 BMW ooops I mean supra needs to be 4 rotor swapped . Toyota needs to learn a lesson !Do not take away our manual transmissions and for the love of God don't ever trade off a kickass engine like the 2jz for a Damn BMW engine . And charge some ridiculous amount of money because you slapped a Supra decal on a shit beamer .
Everyone sleeps on Rob because he doesn’t post daily videos but i can say i genuinely get happy when he posts a video because i know it’s always going to be 100% quality. Hyped for the four rotor!!!
I'be been following you since the old days of the 3 rotor RX-7, buying the Lambo, loosing the 3 Rotor in the mail, and the 4 Rotor unveil at SEMA like 20 years ago lol. And for the First time I'm actually glad you are making progress on the 4 Rotor! Looking forward to seeing the BEAST run. =)
First of all, 4 rotors are sick, swapping a c8? You do your thing man. Second, I scrolled forever till someone said it was an LT2 not an LS. Lastly, I saw the 4 rotor rx7 at sema 2016, didn't know your channel at the time but it was impressive regardless. Can't wait to see it done.
I check in on this channel every 6 months to see the 4 rotor. Its been years, and I dont think I've ever heard anything other than "Oh yea its not done were waiting". See yall in another 6 months.
Except the C8 would be a fast car to build, that would also bring a lot of publicity, especially if it goes to LS Fest and races, and would probably end up as another SEMA car. All it would take is some work to adapt the four rotor to the transmission and motor mounts, upgraded cooling, and some ECU work. It'd take less work than any of the other vehicles have required, as it'd just be a simple swap, and not a long list of additional things to do; no framework, no bodywork, etc. I'm not saying it'd be super simple, but it may be the simplest of all current and potential projects, especially if an already built and tested four rotor is used. The ECU would more than likely be the largest pain in the ass to deal with in this build. If it comes down to finishing a couple cars or swapping a C8, the C8 is the better business decision.
Xander Vice you’re absolutely out of your mind if you think that’s the easiest . But I agree it could be a SEMA build & attention grabber **in the future** once he’s completed the builds he already started. I never said it was a bad idea , but doing it right now is.
Christian Barrett finally someone who agrees with me, how in the hell would he be able to do a c8 4 rotor when he hasn’t even finished the rx7 yet. He doesn’t have the money to do that. And what about all of the people on patreon who’ve invested thousands of dollars to rob waiting for him to finally complete the rx7. Buying the new corvette would be like sticking up the middle finger to all those people who have already waited years for this. I’m gonna stop there.
@@cbarr0288 you clearly didn't read the entire comment I made, maybe try doing that next time. I also never said 'easiest,' I said simplest and fastest, because it would be, for the reasons I stated. It'd require less overall work compared to the other projects, and it'd be a money maker. It's the better business decision to make, for obvious reasons. Not taking an early opportunity would be a bad idea, and would just be a loss of money; the C8 is the newest thing, swapping it early would create publicity, taking it to big car shows, like LS Fest, and later SEMA, would keep that publicity going, and it's pretty obvious at this point that various brands are willing to do partnerships and sponsorships on these rotary projects. Doing it as soon as possible gets it done and out of the way, since it would be a fast swap and a simple project compared to the other projects. Claiming that doing this project now, before completing other projects, is a bad idea really shows that you don't know how to make business decisions. All the projects will eventually be completed, but the C8, right now, will be the money maker that then funds the other, and future, projects. In the same way the AWD four rotor RX-7 gained a lot of publicity a few years ago, the same way the C5 gained publicity and became the most recent money maker; the C8 is the next best business opportunity, probably even more than swapping a Supra would be.
Its an LT2 in the new corvette... not interchangeable with the LS... and FK yes throw a 4 rotor in one. Gonna need to upgrade the clutches in that transmission though. The final drive gears are going to be your biggest problem with dropping a 4 rotor in a c8.
I may have clicked a little fast to this one (lol) edit: 4 rotor Corvette C8 LMAO. That sounds like some newspaper headliner material right there, I'm talking worldwide lol. An idea that'd shake up the automotive world, one can only wish it'd happen.
Yes Yes YES..... The first thing i thought about when i saw the new corvette was: Somebody ( Rob) Needs to put a 3-4 rotary and stick shift in that car. And you Rob, You would be the perfect guy to do it. You Rob are: The chosen one.
Curran Bro's, nice. Wayde Henshaw is also developing billet side housings to solve a lot of issues that a lot of people are encountering with billets. Big numbers pulled with reliably. Give him a buzz. Also, Rob, those coolers, sort it out mate.
@GM Kof hard your are correct but at least he finished the rotary vette kinda🤣 but now rob wanna buy a C8 if he does that the 4rotor will project will stand still for another year or 2 so yah rather not
C8 with a 4 rotor is like Elon going to Mars. It's a HUGE deal! I think people would get behind it, and put money up to see it happen. Patreon, or GoFundMe this idea, and make it real!
Also make sure to get your eccentric shafts blueprinted. formula7's shaft was SEVERAL degrees off each lobe (from perfect 90 degrees) making the whole motor a timing nightmare, causing bad tunes, it was obviously assuming the essentric was trued, it wasn't.
That AWD 4 rotor is a huge project, people take years just to Ls swaps so don’t sweat any amount of time you take, it’s better to do it right the first time.
All you guys talking about “oh finish this car already” quit bitching I’m sure Rob wants this car done more than anyone. Just be grateful he is giving his viewers an update.
Yes. Swap the C8. Also, you could have the iron between rotor 2 and 3 custom machined to split coolant both ways? It should work, but I don't know anything about rotaries :D
This project isn’t even halfway done, and sir allready talking about the next one. This thing is allready taking like 4 years. Just finish this first🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
One Piece flip forward front end since you don't need the fenders a a structural part given the tube frame. In carbon fiber of course. Use bondo to make a mold. add a substructure to mount the front end to the car and to mount the headlights if you really want to keep those heavy lights.
Hey Rob. Newerish to the channel big fan so far loved all the vette and 4rotor vids, when you said you whisper sweet nothing's to your cars I realized were on the same level with car love. And YESSS! You should do a c8 4rotor just to do it.😁 keep up the badassery
Yeah that's the best thing I've heard ever C8 4 Rotor. Do it do it do it do it do it rob doing it is done do it do it right for you and your love for things done right
Yes yes yes make a C8 4-Rotor Aero Vette! That would be awesome! DO IT!
Interesting, for history purpose
I mean the corvette had a concept that was rotary powered so i agreewith this
JUST DO IT!
**Ahnuld voice** Do it now! Come on!
It’s going to take him 10 years to do it.
Rob "I will have a running 4 rotor at sema" me: "ah shit here we go again..."

The package company will lose the package or something will be damaged, He'll inherit the task of finishing it to his kids.

4 rotor rx7 debuting at SEMA 2016 . Never Forget
I was there, looks the same now
The year is 2048 Rob posts a new vid: 4-rotor finally 2 steps away from being done! and c8 4-rotor finally has motor in the car
He also started 4-rotor swap a tesla, because cleetus dared him
Can you 4 rotor swap the simply safe cameras?
Hahahahah
He would
My mans asking the real questions now
yeah dom whens that happening? hahaha
Maybe not 4 but 1 or 2
Has to be Click bait, Rob will never finish the 4 Rotor.

4-rotor c8 swap, DO IT! Don't forget to cool the transmission and diff fluids.
2029:, I just got the calipers delivered
After ups ‘Lost’ them in 2027
Rotary swap a c8 the no manual is chevy giving us a middle finger so give them one right back by imidiatly swaping.
Just buy the C8, make it a manual, call it a day
From what I heard, Chevy wanted to have a manual option, but no transmission companies were willing to design one for it.
@@asdf12347109 no
uh its a double clutch manual i dont get this no manual thing it just doesnt have 3 pedals
@@asdf12347109 it already is if you want to change gears your self just like EVERY SINGLE GT3 car that uses a same type of transmission
Today, Rotary Rob speaks about how he could build 3 4 rotors with the amount he has, but we still dont have 1.
If your going to 4 rotor the c8 twin turbo it
Why not be different and supercharge it?
@Ecks Dee they have 3000hp prochargers for promods I mean I think that would be dumb but he could
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 TWIN TURBO AND TWIN CHARGED FULL YOLO
The 4 rotor only needs one big ass supercharger for a reason
Isnt Superchargers and rotaries usually a bad idea?

If i ever get a child I will name him Rob’s 4Rotor just so his every birthday I could remind you that you haven’t yet finishsd your 4Rotor.
There is some sick joke in there but I'm not gonna try to understand it...
I check in on this channel every 6 months to see the 4 rotor. Its been years, and I dont think I've ever heard anything other than "Oh yea its not done were waiting". See yall in another 6 months.

A Sugar Daddy from Dubai might have helped you with a 6-rotor by now
By the time he finished a rotorary swapped c8 the c9 would be out...
So you're going to have a third 4-rotor. World's first 4-rotor Lambo, make it happen!
I feel lied too, it's been years but I feel just as invested as you. I don't have my heart and soul tied into the project

Holy hell a c8 4 rotor will be so fun to watch
Rotory is life! your my hero Rob i cant wait to see the 4rotor 7 & C8 4 rotor? do it!!!

Doing that with a C8 would be amazing! Both historically and fun to watch!
Manual 4 rotor c8 would break peoples minds. Definitely do it!!!
Why not a 2 smaller turbos? Realy interested i just feel like the lag and power spike of a turbo that big would not make sense and not be ideal
It will be able to spool quick enough, and should be able to stay in power. Also, should be able to make more with single
100% 4rotor c8. Chevy would shit themselves seeing a manual dorito C8 already rolling around!
