You’re seriously going to V8 swap this thing when the whole point and essence of the car is the 3 rotor setup? You need to full send this and get that 3 rotor going, such a shame to remove it.
Idiot. These cars are designed around an ls. The rotary was a swap in the first place. And the original engine is two hayabusa motorcycle engines turned into one. Then someone ls swapped it and the company jumped on board. Same with other kit cars that are similar. Stop being dumb. These cars are meant to be super cars or hyper cars for the price of an m3 that you can daily drive without being any richer then your average mustang owner. Rotary throws most of that out the window. Track toy only ride then sure. But why.... so many other options. Why wreck something that price as a track toy unless you got better daily drivers.

@@KrustyKlown you said it bud, I do tire of seeing LS engines whacked into everything though. The results don't lie however, huge power, reliability and part availibilty the LS wins every time. I've had experience with both formats, and know of about 2 rotors that have lasted the test of time making big power. My own experiences have been shit given the build quality of the engines lead to failure. Now I run neo version of rb25det, been an excellent engine for 7 years now. The guy that tunes mine has just put a v12 ferrari engine into a series 4 rx7... It cost him over 20k just for new pistons (nzd). Wonder how many 20b engines that would buy.
Ok, first, rotaries aren't all that unreliable. Emissions and poor design judgement from Mazda was the rotaries biggest issue. If your building a rotary and you know how to fix the stupid shit Mazda did (ie, remove flaps that close intake for the rear rotor, run premixed, getting air flowing over the back of the motor, etc) then a rotary isnt all that much less reliable than most other engines. As for an LS swap, I lump a JZ swap in with it, been done to death, and just isnt that interesting. However, there is something to be said about the reliability of those engines when built. Ferrari crushing numbers that can do more than 10k miles before needing a rebuild. I think that fact gets glossed over a lot when talking about modern supercars. They make huge numbers, but the maintenance requirements and costs on those cars are insane.

Freddy, you have the chance to make Rotary history, please don’t give up on a once in a lifetime opportunity. It may be difficult but we the viewers would love to see what a Rotary can do!
Rotaries are awesome, especially in this king of lightweight cars, and low centre of gravity. I love V8 same, but rotary is a higher level. Important to messure the condition of housing etc. Anyway rotary is rotary. You aren't a big fan of rotary because you didn't try a good one.

3 rotary boat engine. there's a few RD's out there using them, incredible potential, and torque you don't expect from a Tr-Dorito. Easily supports up to 1k hp, and 700+ torque. There's a Hoonigan Channel "VS" episode with one in it you should watch if you haven't. it's sick!
@@noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0 i agree, he is kinda roasting the previous owner for no particular reason. At least the previous driver of this had the car on the track, unlike others... Plus the accident may not have been fully the driver's lack of talent at fault
Yeah but rotary engines are such a pain in the ass and are super in reliable. Most rotary engines do not last more than 80k if you lucky. I will admit they do have a cool factor though and sound sweet but I’d still swap. I was hoping he was going to do a v12 though.
now that he has Jared on the channel a lot more stuff actually gets finished, I mean he was setting on that 95 supra for years before Jared came and finished it for him.
@@mikewalker6016, Wankel is the name of its inventor (Felix Heinrich Wankel), and by extension, of that type of internal combustion engine.

@@tobiasschmidt5027a rotary engine would need a turbo. That's why the RX7 turbo engine weighs 411LBS and the ls1 weighs 407LBS.

You don't know what you're talking about 😂
The SL-C will easily handle any LS1, LS6, C5R, LS7 or even a Warhawk LSX Billet engine block package (recommend using the Graziano transaxle though). Ford's Windsor V-8s fit just fine, and so do the "Mod Motors". Not 100% sure about the Coyote but I'm sure it can be done. You can also use an Audi V-10, BMW V-12, Ferrari V-12, or Lamborghini V-10 if you want to get exotic. Any other engine just call Superlite's tech support & they will tell you if it is possible (and most importantly how much). I wanted to do a LSX style custom 9.5 liter V-12 made in Australia but was told that one is to big.

Freddy, you have the chance to make Rotary history, please don’t give up on a once in a lifetime opportunity. It may be difficult but we the viewers would love to see what a Rotary can do!
Tavarish: I am not a big fan of rotaries
*ROB DAHM SMASHES KEYBOARD*
*Rob Dahm has unfriended you.
@@Skwisgar2322 rob dahm wants to Know your location
Rotaries are awesome, especially in this king of lightweight cars, and low centre of gravity.
I love V8 same, but rotary is a higher level. Important to messure the condition of housing etc.
Anyway rotary is rotary.
You aren't a big fan of rotary because you didn't try a good one.
@@Bondstreetdrift i mean i get it i love rotories too but if he wants to make powerfull car on his own i think v8 is a way to go since he has no experience on rotories
I ALSO SMASH MY KEYBOARD
I know you said you already bought something else engine wise. But damn I'd really love to see you work out that rotary. Talk to Hert @ Hoonigan imo before writing that thing off!!
Rob S Probably want to talk to Vargas (his tuner) instead of hert lol
@@FredaricoIsCooL hert and working on cars *exhales strongly*
Off course yasss
@@FredaricoIsCooL sure, my point was hert could get him in touch with the right people to make it crazy lol
Should keep the Rotary engine.... That would be so interesting an fun to follow along.
3 rotary boat engine. there's a few RD's out there using them, incredible potential, and torque you don't expect from a Tr-Dorito. Easily supports up to 1k hp, and 700+ torque. There's a Hoonigan Channel "VS" episode with one in it you should watch if you haven't. it's sick!
“He’s a bit shorter and wider than me”
“The owner didn’t have the talent to drive this car”
Like you really just roasting this previous owner lol
It seems a lot of the cars that get built on these channels have had talentless drivers in the past
@@noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0 i agree, he is kinda roasting the previous owner for no particular reason. At least the previous driver of this had the car on the track, unlike others... Plus the accident may not have been fully the driver's lack of talent at fault
Oh grow a back bone guys. He is just messing around and let’s be honest they did total the car right. People are too serious now days.
@@noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0 : That taste is probably, the shite you talk.
He deserves it for crashing an amazing car!
Keep the 3 rotor engine in it dude they are awsome!
KEEP THE 20B IN IT MAN!
everyone does v8,s
Hint : it's a ferrari f430 v8, pretty interesting engine as well
Ardi Januar yea but Doritos
@@ardijanuar2036 but u don't see another/other cars except the corvette prototype with rotary but only on a mazda
Yeah but rotary engines are such a pain in the ass and are super in reliable. Most rotary engines do not last more than 80k if you lucky. I will admit they do have a cool factor though and sound sweet but I’d still swap. I was hoping he was going to do a v12 though.
I'm more into motorcycles than cars, but your passion for cars and your way of hosting your show forced me to subscribe. 10/10 channel
3 rotor is way more cool then the Ferrari v8, in my opinion!
They're both cooler than the usual LS swap the world & his dog are doing at the moment, but there's a reason why they're popular.
Tavarish- "this will be a long-term project"....with 20 other long-term projects in the background
I was very excited until you said you were going to rip out the heart AKA rotary out of it a little disappointed
As soon as you unveiled the car I thought "That would be awesome as a center seat like a McLaren F1". I was so happy when I heard you say that!
KEEP THE ROTARY - EVEN IF IT'S FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
Use Non-Synthetic Lubricants. Pro Tip. I would also run a little 2 stroke oil in the gas. Smoked like a hoo-ore but would keep the seals tight.
@@VanWinger that 20b probably has no oil metering pump, so synth should be ok and definitly it needs to be premixed with a good quality premix.
We can say that we agree to disagree, but synth can screw up apex seals.
Its not any regular V8 its from a ferrari
steve 😂😂what
The best part of this build was the rotary engine ... hope you keep it
Please keep the rotary, at least for a different project, it’s more unique than just another V8 🤷🏻♂️
Have you actually fixed any of these?
Hi
@Copter Cop I did get that vibe
@Copter Cop yep
now that he has Jared on the channel a lot more stuff actually gets finished, I mean he was setting on that 95 supra for years before Jared came and finished it for him.
Idk man I think he gave up on the lambo replica..
Yes, I'd keep that Wankel "rotary" engine in it. That sound is insane.
Wankel didn't make that rotary, Mazda did.
@@mikewalker6016, Wankel is the name of its inventor (Felix Heinrich Wankel), and by extension, of that type of internal combustion engine. A "rotary engine" is originally a different type of internal combustion engine, a Otto cycle engine with a radial configuration of cylinders that rotate around a crankshaft.
@@JG-ge3ui the OG design concept was before Wankel if you want to go waaay back. Some polish dude way way back.
@@JG-ge3ui Wankel didn't designe the 20b either. Mazda did. Wankel couldn't design an engine that actually worked, Mazda did
@ Mazda rotary engine
Congrats on the car. Super rad. Can’t wait to see the build come together.

I'm kinda sad.
I mean I do want it to actually run, so...
@@tavarish exactly what i thought
@@tavarish Then mod it how is necessary and save it! You said yourself those engines are rare D=
@@tavarish Okay fine, do the Ferrari 4.3 xDD
@@tavarish I'd say it's a victory if you get a track day or two out of it annnd you can say it ran before getting parked forever cause dorito magic.
For your spark plug problem. Purchase a sparkplug socket and use a grinder to taper around the edge. Label it as rotary engine spark plug socket.
4:03 I saw rotor and immediately got 200% more excited
Keep the rotary, they sound so good and rev like hell.
keep that 3 rotor in there🤔 everyone has a V8
Not a Ferrari V8. That thing screams.
@@09Mrsubaru cvfhtu57t
James sevensix nope they aren’t 😂
David Bachmann dude do you know how much maintenance they require? They really are junk
Stop. why not both?
instead of trashing the previous owner about how he couldn't handle it.....why don't you finish the supra instead buying more junk
Yeah!
Because noone actually cares about supra's lol
@@mmmaiamm3078 I... I care about the supra...
mmMaiamm man assumes no one cares about Supras just because HE doesn’t care about Supras....
“Only people who care about Supras”, care about Supras. That’s not much.
Keep it rotary, the engine sounds on rotaries are insane
Stay with the rotary. So much more interesting than an old Ferrari motor.
ipeelscats but the thing with rotaries u probably know they r annoying af and Ferrari engine is way cooler
@@dnboys1949 I wouldn't say it's cooler, should proper scream with twin turbos though. I would like to see both motors get used and abused, should be fun.
I LOVE THE 3 ROTOR!!! Watch the vid you showed and listen to that engine.
You live my dream Tavarish! If you can manage to pull this project off, I'm going to watch every step of the process!
Just started watching this vid then stopped because I realized I'm still waiting for the Merc manual conversion and Bentley engine swap vids.
I thought he already completed and sold the Bentley. I could be wrong. I thought he was showing it to videobob
“we have this very rare 3 rotor that sounds extremely good but we are going to put a different engine in because of some dry apex seals”
Alec Brayton *because rotaries are shit and there’s a reason no one makes them anymore
Juan Carlos Dominguez bro stop commenting this on a load of comments lmao; we get it, you vape
Probly Not stick to your rocket league bud
*Because lots of horsepower and no torque!!!
Rotaries are crazy money, put your pitchforks away
Either keep the 3 rotor or sell it to Rob, he'll do something with it
YESSS. He should redo the interior to make it luxurious, install the optional windows and make it sorta kinda a cheap tavarish 787B
Lol. There’s a guy that teaches tornado spotter classes that calls “scary looking clouds” SLC’s.
DON'T YOU EVEN THINK OF REPLCACING THE ROTORS WITH PISTONS!!!
Pistons are more reliable than rotors.
@@09Mrsubaru you really think reliability mean a whole lot when you're building cars like this, not to mention anyone that thinks rotors are really that bad on reliability really don't know a huge amount about them.
@@axeami1354 Rotaries are so reliable not a single OEM uses them, not even Mazda.
FireSkeleton112 superior engine**
@@JG-ge3ui all of that sounds like a long form way of saying unreliable.
„I might have a V8 to put in...“
NO! GOD DAMN, NO!
The ferrari V8 would be nice
Nooooo!!! Keep the rotor
Don't swap the engine. A rotary powered race car build will be something awesome and unique. Putting a V8 there is just lazy and too easy. Rotaries for life m8.
costly engine really mid
And they can make way more power and they’re way more reliable so this is a very invalid comment and just your personal opinion
And the weight is way higher with a big block. Rotarrys are light and sit lower in the car so the weight is loser oder all
@@tobiasschmidt5027a rotary engine would need a turbo. That's why the RX7 turbo engine weighs 411LBS and the ls1 weighs 407LBS. The legendary 1uzfe clocks in at 365... hell if your spending big bucks on rotary you might as well buy a Judd V8. 255LBS, 670HP, 4.5 liters, flat plane crank. You don't know what you're talking about 😂
@thedoctormma9433 the rotary weights 247lb WITH turbo
The SL-C will easily handle any LS1, LS6, C5R, LS7 or even a Warhawk LSX Billet engine block package (recommend using the Graziano transaxle though). Ford's Windsor V-8s fit just fine, and so do the "Mod Motors". Not 100% sure about the Coyote but I'm sure it can be done. You can also use an Audi V-10, BMW V-12, Ferrari V-12, or Lamborghini V-10 if you want to get exotic. Any other engine just call Superlite's tech support & they will tell you if it is possible (and most importantly how much). I wanted to do a LSX style custom 9.5 liter V-12 made in Australia but was told that one is to big.
keep the rotary rare, sounds amazing its underrated on yt
As you say, most are equipped with an LS or a Coyote so having a Rotary makes it different, I'd vote keep the sewing machine engine.
For the love of all that is holy, keep the damn 3 rotor
Edit: keep the Dahm 3 rotor
When he said 'most ambitious' raid shadow legends pops up
Keep the 3 Rotor! Way more interesting 😊
Tavarish: These rotary engines are often pretty finnicky/unreliable.
Also Tavarish: We plan on using a twin turbo Ferrari engine.
Seems legit.
Idea: Save the 3 rotor, and put it in a Smart Roadster. Maximum chaos ensues.
Matt Evans the engine would stand still but the car would spin !
Tarvarish: "That yoooouuve never heard of" Any decent car guy: "....you mean the SLC that i've known about for close to a decade??"
