General Rotors - 10a PP Rotary Power! The forbidden BRAP
Jay and the crew get crazy and decide to perform the ultimate sin!!!
If it ain't a Rotor it ain't a motor!
I get it guys Ya wanna hear the engine not the music. Im the same, BUT the problem was that the audio from the rolling shots was heavily compromised by wind noise. That and we were still using the back half of a standard V6 exhaust. To the point of there being little to ZERO noise from the car for the majority of what we filmed. The car got louder as the day / that drive went on and the exhaust got molested by those dirty hot rotor pulses. The engine noise you CAN hear in the clip has been DUBBED. 80% of it DID NOT EXIST. Is it great? No , but Im an amateur. We couldn't reshoot as we were out of time. The use of music helped me hide the fact that I had dubbed the same 3.5 second clip of engine noise in repeatedly. Sorry to ruin the magic but for some reason I feel like I need to explain myself. Hopefully we will create a video next that everyone will like. Well at least those who like brap noises. I hope that this explains the situation. I try.
TLDR: You wanted noises. I did my best to give you noises.
Na, it’s the act that really mattered. And for those with true taste (brap lovers) we can always superimpose that lovely tone over the top of anything if the reality doesn’t supply 🤘🏻Keep up the good work!
I was one of the complainers about hearing music instead of engine sound. Thanks for taking time to explain. Ive always been fascinated by the Mazda roadpacer so I had to click when I saw the video. I think your content is great I reckon it's sick youre skillful and crazy enough to upgrade the VN like that. I should have said that in my other comment instead of just being negative. So yeah looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Yes, only those of us that make TH-cam videos will understand exactly what your talking about, the swap is so insane I loved it, Subbed ready for the next thing to roll out.
The video was awesome. I love what you guys are doing!!!
lol need some more updates on this rocket !!!!!
Nice work guys, we'll have to line you up with our red VN.
i thought the exact same thing when i saw the thumbnail
What odds you offering on timing chain V apex seal failure?
@@kickn5k haha
@@STREETMACHINETVlove both builds and they look really similar. My money would be on the torque of the L67 though.
@R h wow, harsh
This is the best!! Top work Gus,
Jay and Steve’s mum, looking forward to more videos!
Thanks legends
definitely needs a turbo Yoda on the side
You beauty!!!!
Broke: LS swap
Woke: L67 swap
Bespoke: *Rotary swap*
THE BEST ! lol
Haha
Hilarious! Great build, the look on people’s faces when you pull up at the lights would be absolute gold! 🤣
Be even slower especially up hills no torque.. probably still wind out on freeway tho👌
As a Commodore man I both despise and LOVE this build at the same time. Haaha. Sick video, guys. Keep this stuff coming.
Braaaaap.
Same here ... Can't stand WANKels, love VNs, but just how out the gate and obscure this build is, I hate to say I like it.
I really liked your "General Rotors" and the logo mod on the grill, laughed my arse off. (because I used to own a VN Commadore, a Red one even). You could nearly put two more rotor plates on that, and make it longer, there is plenty of room.
i love how you guys are laid back and have a laugh.
Thanks
That's me in hi vis at the end I was confused as fuck when I saw it
You guys should call it the "roadpacer" in homage to the 70s Holden that was sold in Japan with a rotary
What they sold Holden's in japan
@@joeynelson4091 Google Mazda Roadpacer, you'll be blown away
@@dlpereira ok😄
"Roadpacer 1.0"
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_Roadpacer_AP
I love the way the tail shaft sounded like it was going to be thrown together, then turns out perfectly balanced and machined.
The guesstimator is my favourite character
Watch your subs go through the roof from here on out
Instantly fell in love with this combo so quirky and unique great build blokes looking forward to more
Damn this rotory commy going around the internet pretty fast
Ex-VP owner, rotary fan, Python enthusiast and meme connoisseur here, this is the funniest shit I've seen all year. Great build, found my new fave automotive channel.
Thank you
Appreciate the kind words
This whole video is like 90's in HD. I love it.
Love it. Rotaries are so cool for engine swaps because they don't use up a lot of engine bay. Trans tunnels as you mentioned are an entirely different matter.
Being a lover of rotary and the old commodores I found this video funny as hell and well worth the watch
Road pacer 88 !! Lol very cool just found ur channel man very entertaining!! Cheers from an Aussie in the USA🇦🇺 🇺🇸
Love it, I wish i never sold my Rotaries 20 years ago :( Rx-4 was $4500, RX-7 series 1 restored with gold three piece simmon's $5400 and then i splashed out on a RX7 S4 $15000 and i blew a apex seal driving it home. Rebuild time $4500.00 later . Ahhhhhhhhh Those were the joys and memories of owning a chook cooker rotisserie ;) - Keep up the videos mate :)
Yeah I’m the same I’ve sold so many I wish I didn’t
I've loved brapmobiles ever since an old mate took me for a ride in his S3 w/ 13BT when I was about 19. He blew a seal doing burnouts to try and impress the chicks. Good times.
As a Rotary guy I loved and hated this at the same time lol but this was hella entertaining fellas!
as a rotary mechanic and a vn enthusiast this thing is sick hahaha
Sick video, humour on point and the editing/fliming is primo. good shit guys
So glad I found this channel absolutely brilliant sure to upset some true mang fans but it's just a different better kind of mang ! Especially with some boost haha, but God damn a 20B would fit nice in there
Gold, gold gold! So good. Epic edit, too, Paul
Thank you:) inspired by your roadpacer vids.
First time watching your vids, will definitely be watching more
Love it. Would love to see reactions to it driving through Elizabeth...
Replaces 3.8l V6 with 1.0 rotary engine, still had to cut cross member to make engine fit......
So instead of a Commodore, you've got a Rotordore lol. Love it. Cool to see something different
Nice! Shame the 10A did Rotary things but the big block is a worthy replacement. Channel just keeps on kicking goals, Jay is very comfortable in front of the camera now and the editing is mint. Respect.
Nice.. one video one build.. very efficient viewing
This is so awesome. I couldn't stop laughing. It's horrific & fantastic at the same time. Subscribed.
👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Never would have thought anyone would actually do this. Something different but brilliant.
Must be about 25 yrs ago I saw a VL pass through Coffs harbour.
Wondered where the sound was coming from until I realised the number plate said 13B TVL.
Paul the film guy oh shit there goes the neighbourhood. 😂👌🏼
Just when ya think you have seen it all. Then someone drops a rotary in an old commodore. Awesome haha
That was a great build...its amazing that any motor pretty much can be adapted into any car especially with talented guys like yourselves.Gus(Paul)i remember having the white CM Regal wagon and the budget build videos.Top stuff😃
Looks great haha! If that pulled up next to me tho I wouldn’t think rotary I’d think more “hrmmm, bent valves or!?!”
It’s 50/50 heaps of people ask me what’s wrong with it
Great video, keen to see more of this AND the Mira Walkthrough, that thing looks awesome!!
Thank you.
Yeah agree will put some more of that up
Absolutely luv the General Rotors well done Jay----BBRAAAAAAPPP!
Now a 20b has to be installed in a EA Falcon
The last time I saw a rotary installed into a Holden was the Mazda Roadpacer
HJ Kingswood with a 13B carby (75-78)
Jay is a madman. AMAZING.
Great video man, loved it.
Enough room for 15 turbo's in front of that motor.... or room for another 4 rotors Rob Dahm style..
It looks so wrong in there 🤣🤣 i love it!
That's killer. Man there's so much room for activities
This is bloody tremendous lol. Awesome video gents, and what a corker of a car, lol.
Greetings from Southwest Texas 🇺🇸
Crazy build
:)
The thing I love the most about this build is the hate it demands 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤣🤟🏼
Very well edited and entertaining video guys good stuff !!
best build ever. hated rotors before i watched this. need to turbo it, diff gears and the rest of the x member haha 👌👌👌
Love the Honda motocomp. Epic build can’t wait to see you next build 🙌💯👌😎
Thank you:)
Sickest video in ages - cheers!
This is so good. Earned yourself another sub
I was at the race meeting at Phillip Island where the RX3 the 10A was in was killed. Car was T Boned a Lukey Heights on passengers side. It was hit so hard the passenger door was pushed into the trans tunnel. Was a great looking car in black too.
Was it Mathew Richards?
@@petergracemeguide1280 honestly his name escapes me right now. I do know he worked for Greg Mildren once upon a time
.
@@glensgraphix that would be Mathew Richards . I believe he was running 13bt at that time. I only saw photos after it was towed back. Lucky to be alive. Sad ending to a car I used to cruise with.
Love something different. Good work team !!!
This was shredder!!
Never subscribed as fast ever
Thank you
Need to see a burnout sequel. Wanna see this thing in action!!!
It’s happening
Only just found your channel
First 2min, I've subbed.
What a pisser of a project
Thank you
3 Cheers for Steve's mum.
Thats pretty cool, good video too, just wish you didn't put music over it while it was driving!
Hahaha love it mate, freaking awesome work guys, well done 😂😂😂
The accursed second incarnation of the hideous 4 - cyl Commodore.
You're free to go.
Hahaha, "Dismissed".
Finally a good video on my recommended 😍
My favorite part of you putting the engine in the bin is that it FITS
Was just meant to be.
Ha Marcus from G-Town is that you ???? nah no I'm guessing not building cars maybe dodgy homes they say there are multiples of clone humans out there I found a pair after watching this hahaha 🤣🍻👍
that 6ft racoon that scavenged thru the rotary bin was just a regular racoon and not just me in a racoon mask... 👍
Haha
if you really want to trigger people, stick the v6 in one of the little mazdas lol i love this commo tho and great job on the editing and everything top job
Awsome videos! Never thought there's any car channels here in adelaide. I'm just starting my youtube journey and absolutely love old Japanese cars so found this very interesting. Great work!
Yeah doesn’t seem to be many around SA
Ah very good I will have a look
@@lowstandards5269 cheers! I haven't made many decent videos yet but I'll be doing more soon.
This thing is all over tiktok🙌🏾 this thing is sick!!
I seen this thing driving down warren ave, trailer on with scrap metal on. What a clean nice sounding beast 👌🏻
Ah cool
Surprised how often people recognise it.
Very awesome. Its definitely different. Its grown on me i like it 👍
Awesome, love your work !!
5:00 a mate of mine back in the day had a built and camed vn wagon it was so sick sounded line a big cam ls.
Ok, this is bloody good content. Need it more frequently now 👍
It will need a set of 4.44:1 diff gears or something like thar, the Mazda Roadpacer (aka HJ Holden Premier) was fitted with that 4.44:1 1 tonner diff ratio in Japan, believe me,a 202 Holden six cylinder powered one of them had a top speed of 100 km/h but not the Roadpacer which had a top speed of 160 km/h.
I know that Andy Perrett runs 4.11:1 diff gears in the Ford 9" diff in his turbocharged 20B powered HQ Holden Kingswood & it goes very well with a power output of 309 kilowatts of power & 600 Newton Metres of torque !
Yeah agree
It will be getting 4.1s as they are easy to find and a direct fit without changing the diff.
Currently has 3.08 with the 6 speed
I hope to see it at All Holden Day
Thats normal in the 70s in Africa, Holden's with rotary motors from Factory.
That start up though....👌
This is epic guys, bloody love it! If we can ever manage to get over the border again I will have to come and harass Gus for a look!
GG boy's love it!
also Hi Karl!! nice leg ;)
What a champion love this page
saw it on TikTok and I thought someone had just edited a 13b over it, that is unreal well done lads!
It's like the Mark 2 concept of the Mazda Roadpacer.
I hope it works better....
This is what roataries were made for exactly, putting in inappropriate projects like this and I love it very much.
They left a giant clean stain on the car seat
Hilarious fellas! Had a good laugh with the drive and the outtake! You should do a follow up vid once you’ve got the diff ratio sorted ;)
This is my best TH-cam video, watched it about 10 times now, where’s Steven ? I miss him, bring him back.
If you want to save yourself some pain and hassle in the future switch out the Apex seal with the aviation Apex seal they are a harder metal and will last a lot longer the factory side seals are fine just switch out the Apex
it's basically a mazda roadpacer!
I normally frown upon an ls swap into an early commodore…. But i fkn love this thing!!!! 😂👌🏼 how long till it gets a turbo?????
Bloody awesome fellas !!!!!
So much “ cussing “, freaking love it.. typical Aussies 👍🏻
What a crazy build guys I got the best of both worlds I own a cpl commodore's and have a rotary turbo Gemini definitely will be sum haters out there🤣🤣 just subd to your chanel looking forward to more great content cheers ✌
This is the fkn best!
That’s awesome. General Rotors. 🤣👌
The thing that pisses me off the most about this is how clean she is. 😂
Bro, your garage and channel and life is like my dream, my garage is also full of just random parts and motors and boxes and rotaries, just rotar everything
Hahaha I’m in Sydney tho
Oh nice man. I’ve always just had heaps of random stuff and start builds from bits I have.
Best build on TH-cam!
Your own Holden pacer.
Holden/Mazda brought out HZ’s with 13b’s in Japan back in the day.
