In this riveting episode from Rob Dahm, we witness the birth of a monstrous creation: the world's only 12 rotor engine. Crafted by the skilled hands of Tyson Garvin from a solid block of 7075 aluminum, this engine is a true marvel. With the addition of three turbochargers, the team aims to unleash a staggering 5 to 6,000 horsepower from this beast. As Rob delves into the intricate details of the project, we see the dedication and precision required to bring this powerhouse to life.

Amidst the technical intricacies, Rob humorously addresses his weight loss journey, showcasing the meticulous testing of 24 ignition coils. The meticulous process of fitting the coil packs into place is a testament to the attention to detail in this build. The complexity of the injector harness is unveiled, with Rob showcasing the braiding process involved in its assembly. The multicolored candy cane-like appearance of the harness hints at the intricate web of wires that will power this mechanical marvel.

As the episode unfolds, we witness the strategic placement of fuel filters and the meticulous planning involved in routing fuel lines for optimal performance. The modification of an oil tank from a 1996 Champ Car showcases the team's ingenuity in adapting components for their unique project. The unboxing of a Vibrant Universal catch can adds a touch of excitement, highlighting the team's enthusiasm for quality components. With the core of the 12 rotor harness taking shape, Rob's vision for a dual ECU setup to power this engineering masterpiece comes into focus.
