I literally graduated college before you could finish this project. I was a freshman when you started

It's crazy the amount of progress you've been having on this build. So excited to see it driving under it's own power.

There seems to be a direct correlation between the length of your hair and the amount of crazy parts in videos 😂😂

I was 8 when he started this, I'm now 35 with 3 kids and a 401k

"6 stands for something on me too..." I KNEW ROB HAD 6 TOES

"Speaking of trans fluid, my favorite liquid of all time.." -Robert Dahmulis

I wonder if Rob will know what to do with himself once he actually finishes the 4 Rotor

these alu flywheels tend to explode , so best also invest in a shield around the bellhousing , so that you will keep your legs safe

I can’t wait to see this build finished, it looks like everything is finally coming together and I’m so excited for you, Rob! Keep up the good work

This guy low key hit the mega million 😂

Rob, you’re like a gift that keeps on giving! You’ve got the world watching and lemme say this much, we are all entertained. Quick question, do you ever plan on taking this Rotormonster to the infamous Nurburgring?

Well I'll be happy when I'm 200k years old and this and binky is done.

Making insane progress lately! Really loving it. Big money. Probably one of the sickest builds on KZfaq and now I can see why it took so long. Soft speakers are the worst. After three times asking you to speak up then I just smile and nod. Must not be that important if you won't say it over a wisper.

if you have power steering pump, it will be lighter to go hydraulic for the gearbox (like F1) ... no air bottle, can run 'forever' (don't need to refill the bottle every time you drive the car) and the pressure doesn't drop (more consistent)

Anyone else catch that “6 stands for something on me too” 🤣

43 haters gave this video a thumbs down? How can you give a badass 4 rotor build like this a thumbs down? Rob is the most awesome guy on the KZfaqs, can't be him! Nerds!

In todays video, Daddy Dahm unbox more expensive parts for his time bomb 🤣

"6 stands for something on me too" the figure you spend on this behemoth of a project

When you were talking about the billet flywheel and counter weight difference it made me think of how my nitro rc revs out and how snappy it is... if it is at all similar that is crazy. Btw 90lbs for the trans is incredible, I had no clue that it was that light, thanks for these videos Dahm. I'm always learning something new haha

I can’t wait to see what this does on the dyno😍

That's a seriously sexy transmission setup. Can't wait to hear what a 787B anno 2019 might sound like!

I love this channel. Rob and others have inspired me and given me enough confidence to start my own build.

Please dont yell at me, but I just found your channel a few days back. LOL. I now feel my life is complete. I am a old school ford guy so all this fancy stuff is very intresting to learn. I dont know your back ground, but you are one of the easist guys to listen to. You have a very well manered voice. This makes it enjoyable to listen to thru your videos. Keep up the awesome content and cant wait to see this crazy mazda on the road. Cheers from Calgary Alberta Canada

When your transmission is probably lighter than your turbo 😂

I’m so glad it’s all starting to come together. But what I really enjoy is that you explain everything and convey you thought process. Super cool👍🏼

So..before I stumbled on your channel I knew nothing about rotary motors, but now I'm so interested in them. Love the videos ..love the car. Keep it up

I can’t wait to see robs grandson complete the build🙏🏼😂

Just found this channel a week ago and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. One bit of advice, those smart scales need to recalibrate if they’ve been picked up off the ground. When you put it down where you want it, weigh something (anything) at least 3 times. You’re good once it’s giving you a constant reading. Then it’s calibrated and you’ll get correct readings on the fist try....until you move it.

I feel like this build is quickly taking a huge shit on every other build ever!!😍😍

Rob: I paid 20 grand for a trannie Viewers: **holding back laughs**

Rob I honestly love this build. And hearing how you talk about it, it’s pretty awesome to hear. Keep up the good work!

*ROB DAHM SPENDS A WHOLE DAY AT HOLINGER* *AND STILL CAN'T PRONOUNCE IT CORRECTLY* 😂

That sequential setup reminds me of Rywire's setup on his Integra. Very cool stuff for sure.

If Carl doesn’t come to the states for a ride in this thing when it’s done I’m unsubscribing lol. Loving the build. Thanks to Carl for not taking other offers and making the decision to wait for you.

20k sounds about right. Its 17k for a sequential STI transmission.

Rob is creating history with this one

6 centimeters lol Also the word you were looking for was rotational inertia.

A FRICKIN HOLINGER? Damn, well Dahm, if a Holinger can't hold the power you are making, your project is toast, there isn't anything finer to get out there...

This type of transmission has been used in motorcycles for the last 50 years or so, and it stands to reason that they would eventually be upsized for automotive applications eventually.😁

Tfw your rotary cars are so badass everyone forgets you have a Diablo for a hot minute

I like your videos. You don't get crazy stupid technical, which can become really boring but, you put out a lot of good information out there. I think you do an excellent job on your vids. I really enjoy them. thank you. I was just Utube surfing and happened to click on you and got lucky.

Long ass hauling transmission races... Must be a new racing series lol 😆 You're to funny man. Keep up the good work.

Im a real fan of your smooth video outro sequences

Glad to see you ain’t going cheap on the important parts of the build to make things faster or cheaper. 👏

Damn Dahm that thing is going to turn over so many RPMs it's going to become a time machine bro lol. Seriously though super sick 4 rotor my man can't wait till it's up and running.

I'm not an og sub the rotary vet got me hooked but I cant wait to see this thing in action it's going to be one of the sickest cars on the planet keep up all the awesome work guys

Nice selection on Holinger, heard one on a Noble M12 and it sounded so smooth.

LOL the crossfader in my old DJ mixer is made by the same company as your gear sensor.

Just ordered my RTS 6XD and got rid of my CD009 setup, can’t wait!

Omg the sounds from that 4 rotor...

I just bought a first gen sa/fb Rx-7 as my first car!

You should do a large single paddle shifter on the door side of the driver seat, with a pull for upshift and push for downshift like in WRC cars. That way you’ve always got one hand on the wheel

I know I'm almost a week late keeping up with the build but I fell even more deeply in love with this process as of this video

Congrats to Robs followers who paid for it !

Bro, why you say that about my 2019 toyota corolla :( I like my paddle shifters

Haven't seen the channel in forever but love the progress on the car! Looking jacked brother!

Rob: *spends a lot of money of crazy parts* Also rob: ILL FUCKIN DO IT AGAIN

oddly enough this has been one of my favorite videos from Rob, why are transmissions and and talking about tuning so interesting?? haha

1:08 "Can I get a drumroll?" Rob - Standing in front of Transmission packed in a _cardboard box_ ... very quietly drums on the transmission... instead of the box. 🤣

I wrote the following before watching the video and I am so happy to see some of my desires totally achieved! ~~~>It always boggles my mind and mystifies me (for YEARS!) WHY sports cars commonly lack sequential shifting I just dont get it at all! WTF? I ride motorcycles and drive a sports car and I just know the bike trans is so much BETTER than flogging and H shifter which no matter how good is never perfection for gear changes. All the things raved about on the best boxes like short throw and smooth engagement are already perfection on the best MC boxes. I do realize there is one problem at least being reverse with a sequential MC box but I feel like there are multiple solutions to that even if it requires using another shift means for reverse or some type of lock out set up which gives you nuetral and reverse isolated from all the other shifting meaning there would never be an issue "finding nuetral" (a problem on many MCs) OR accidently trying to force reverse while at any forward speed...in other words push or pull something and you are in nuetral which also gives a reverse option then and only then.....the ecu can lock out any stupid actions on the drivers part. A perfect enough sequential tranny could be shifted via either paddles OR in an automatic mode by the computer. ... do we really have to wait for seamless tranny to have this??? I firmly believe a sequential TRUE manual transmission with optional automatic shifting would be ideal for a sports car!! Throw in quick clutchess shifting and a robotically (for lack of another word I cant think of) clutch and we could have the best transmission EVER for a sports car! Click it into automatic mode only when for example in stop and go traffic or maybe when clueless GF has driving privlges (or turn that around if its a clueless boy friend of a female sports car owner (or whatever other gender scenerio its all the same) Yes it would add a bit of unsprung weight complexity and cost but not anything like a typical high end automatic trans adds now anyway! It would in every way be better if you ask me for anyone that loves a manual transmission but hates driving in stop and go traffic with one...how heavy or difficult could a robotically operated clutch be anyway?? A electro mechanical hydraulic actuater hooked to the vehicles computer when desired ...OR full time operated that way via ride by wire meaning the clutch pedal could become an electrical switch requiring almost nothing for pedal resistance and could be mapped individually custom to whatever engage/disengage timing a driver prefers from super linear all the way or more like a lightswitch depending on how the vehicle is being used. Probably some of this already is a thing idk but not on any car or motorcycle I could afford

I looove the fact you're focusing on this again

i work at a transmisson shop, im still trying to find a deal on a sequential dog box then ill be motivated to bring the supra back to the road. the r154 isnt enough for a 1 jz with power... legitness brah great work keep it up!

1:23 Imma guess the 6 relates to Dahm by him having own(ed) 6 Rotary cars. Or maybe just 6 cars ever.

Love it Rob! Love the drive and commitment too man, posting videos almost erday! dreams are becoming reality brotha!!!

Rob's doing what a shop is supposed to deliver, but without cheating anywhere. He looks smart! 💁‍♂️

Finally your getting this together

I really like how u xplained all the goodies. i learn something new with every video u post..

That cut gear sound!!!! 👏👌🔥

Long-ass haulin’ Transmission races 😄 Sweet parts dude 👌

This is The fastest way of shifting. This is literally the same type of transmission that's used in f1 ( accept that they are using hydraulic instead of pneumatic) . Only another type of transmission that can rival it is ,,koenigsegg light weight transmission " with 7 clutches. Btw. love your content Rob 💪

I’ve been watching you for a really long while and I wish that you would get millions of views

Watching your dream come true is amazing, when this is done you’ll be on top of the world, and have the most dominant monster in the world. You bring inspiration to the dreamers. I respect the fuck out of that hahaha.

When he finishes his 4 rotor he needs to race cleetus's toast

Would be cool to see some downforce added and a pikes peak run on the 4 rotor when it’s finished

Nice light weight BRAP wheel!

Can you hear ideas? 2yrs to save for a transmission, Holinger are neat boxes.

Rob Dahm, automotive unboxing, weighing and giggling. Been here since the beginning bro but you gotta give us some stuff like a redo of the vette dyno at least

Im seriously so excited for this. Ive been following for so damn long. Gonna be insane when its done

That is one bad ass transmission

So you know how youtube videos autoplay the video without sound when you scroll past them on a phone? Yeah the intro clip said "music", and I was not disappointed 😍

I believe this project was started before I was a freshman in high school...... I'm a senior now 😂🤦‍♂️

I have officially become a fan. Rotary was always a forbidden realm for me... I can see this is a HIGH END build, and would love to see where it goes. Whats the purpose? Drift? Drag? Autox? Looking forward to future vids homie..

This is the beast Car project in KZfaq, absolutely exotic. Congrats dud.

anxiety just doubled watching this video. give this guy another red bull.

Good thing you are getting paddle shift. The quicker an engine revs up, the quicker it can drop engine speed also. Turbo guys, drifters and stuff, they don't tend to go towards lightweight flywheels. Because of the potential to lose/drop off gears between gears

"6 stands for something on me as well" Oh Rob

I'm very glad to hear about the gear sensor

I love this build

"the gearbox can handle gtr's with ease. So it can handle what I'm doing" 5 years later when Rob finally drives his 4 rotor: "the transmission couldn't handle 1500 hp/tq"

Didn’t know ECU can change gears for you. Learned a lot today!

When you talked about the flywheels, the other benefit of your new flywheel is that the mass is closer to the center of rotation. On the old flywheel, it's near the outside, which makes it harder to rotate even if it weighs the same as the new weight.

Best Levi’s add ever.

Dont shit on my Lexus Shift-Tronic Rob. Got some snappy shifts 😂

Oh man I was actually hoping you wouldn't use a seq. transmission. I hate the sound of those so much. Oh well it's your build, and I can respect that as we all should. I still can't wait for it!

Can't wait to see the clutch.

You gotta just try to do a frugal car build. And you can but small things on the scale without holding it and standing on it also lol

The first time i seen the air shift was on the Veilside r32 gtr and its so amazing sounding, I'm jealous of you Rob haha

I had an Unorthodox Racing aluminum flywheel and Centerforce clutch on my 1987 MR2. It was fun.

Do daily or every other day posts, post shooting the shit. Get another car group working in the shop, like pfi to boosted boiz, and faster proms to cleetus. It keeps you moving, and many small victories lead to the big ones. You need to employ like an auto tech, fabricator to build out content with you and help you be more effective, and rapid at building things, and another team of car guys to have 4 guys working on a problem when needed. You post good Doritos commercials bro, but I need MOAR!!!!!

Toyota has done something similar before on the 3rd Gen MR2, the 'automatic' was actually an SMT which was a regular manual box being shifted by a computer controlled hydraulic system
