RENESIS I Training Material (PDF)

Although this is not new and has been seen before, I thought I would share it here for members wanting to learn more about their RENESIS Rotary Engine.

This 'training material' was developed by Mazda NAO in USA for it's Dealer Network,
a 75 page 6.52 MB file in PDF with some Q&A's.

http://backup.filesanywhere.com/fs/v...8b6066737cb49a

While the fundamentals are the same please remember this is for the Renesis I Rotary used in Series 1 RX-8's (MY2004-2008).
It does not include the updates in Series 2 (Renesis II) like the different Oil Pump, Oil Filter, Fuel Injectors, Oil Injectors, and the two Electronic Metering Oil Pumps, etc..

Thanks Ash, a pretty good read.

I added additional backup hosting of it to my site at: RX-8 Help: Mazda Technical Data


Team:
I accessed it fine, maybe a domain block? Grab a copy from my site if you don't see a way into Ash's location.

Weird that they used diagrams from older rotaries for the cooling and oiling.

Yep ok, there are many errors, but it is a Mazda USA publication done in 2003, the norm for this average distributer (imo).

Time and time errors are reported to them by US Dealers and they are ignored.
