o
I have been watching a You Tube channel under Rob Dahm, who is building a massive
turbocharged 4 rotor custom RX-7 prototype. There are few if any Mazda parts on this
cat. The car is a 4 wheel drive, chromoly steel frame tricked out rocket, similar to
how NASCAR cars are designed.
Dahm has numerous followers which includes several major vendors/suppliers/partners
of accessories/services, many of whom are donating their time/wares to the project.
He has nearly daily updates which for this week culminates in starting the engine for
the first time on a stand. Warning for rotor motor heads...eye candy abounds. Rob is
partially funding these projects with the funds that he makes off of his YouTube
channel, along with all of the donated stuff.
The goal is to finish the car and take it to the SEMA car show.
For a good time, tune in.

Hopefully he is using silicon nitride apex seals.
If he does everything right he will probably have 1500 HP or more
I know of no class of racing that this can compete.
Here is the latest version of how to build a 650 HP rotary.
