In this thrilling episode of Rob Dahm, the team dives headfirst into the heart of automotive madness with the monstrous 12-rotor engine project. With the precision of a surgeon, they meticulously craft a cutting-edge fuel delivery system using AI generative design, pushing the boundaries of innovation in the automotive world. But that's not all - they're also tackling the challenge of keeping the engine cool with a specially designed air channel, a stroke of engineering genius that promises to set this beast apart from the rest.
As the team revives the CNC machine after four years of neglect, they face the daunting task of refurbishing it to its former glory, a task made easier thanks to their partnership with Keeps, which not only sponsors the video but also helps Rob maintain his luscious locks amidst the chaos of engine building. Meanwhile, the team delves into the intricate process of creating equal-length runners for the exhaust manifold, ensuring that each pulse of power is delivered with precision and finesse, setting the stage for an engine that roars like a beast unleashed.
But the real pièce de résistance comes in the form of turbocharging the engine with not one, not two, but three massive Garrett G55 turbos, a move that promises to catapult the power output into the stratosphere. With the intake manifold design posing unique challenges, including heat management and throttle body placement, the team navigates the treacherous waters of custom engineering with the skill and determination of seasoned adventurers, ready to conquer the automotive landscape with their 12-rotor marvel. And as they invite feedback and comments from the automotive community, one thing is clear - this is not just an engine build; it's a symphony of power, precision, and pure automotive passion unfolding before our eyes.
