  • Well engines are getting more and more complicated, but golly the Renesis RX-8 is more complex than I had anticipated. So much wiring and plumbing on the outside of the motor. ⇊ More ⇊

    Nice this project will be cool. RX8 have nearly really done it for me but i do like rotaries so look forward to seeing this being rebuilt!

      I think it's a rather cool car, just needs a working engine.

      Dunno if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last weeks :)

    If the rotary is too cooked to save, it would be interesting to see a 2.5L duratec swap that's gained so much popularity in the NC community. Even better would be an LFX from a Commodore

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  5 років тому +1

      I'd love an LFX in an MX-5. For this car, sticking with a standard engine.

    Sorry to say but the vast majority of the time it's not the apex seals that cause low compression in RX-8s. If it's a fairly low mileage one (under 150 000kms) the rotor housings are probably damaged.

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  5 років тому

      We are rotary virgins, so just taking it as it comes ...

  • @TankRust
    @TankRust 5 років тому +3

    Good luck with this project! Hopefully it just comes down to Apex and Corner seals. If not, maybe a Toyota 1UZ swap is in the cards? PMC motorsport makes a bellhousing adapter to fit the UZ to the RX-8 transmission.

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  5 років тому +2

      Wow, PMC do a lot of adapters. That'd be cool, but we're not in the budget range of any kind of engine swap.

    How long did it take you to take out the old engine and put new one In?

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Sk, about 1 day or so to remove, and maybe 2 days for us to get ourselves and the new engine organised and reinstalled.

  • @donfinch862
    @donfinch862 5 років тому +1

    Like I mentioned before, a lot of bling. The RX2's and 3's were a carb, dizzy and not much else. If you're interested, the Fullboost channel have a post on the RX8 engine and why they think it stinks. Quite interesting. ua-cam.com/video/IDezPjuQvmE/v-deo.html. They also have a teardown how to - may help.

    How can something so small (overall engine size) be so complex? Have some Tooheys...more is better...look up symptoms/solutions for a 13b...toss it in the bin...replace it with a Barra! Problem solved!
