RX-8 Engine rebulit kit
Hi,
Do you offer RX-8 engine rebulit kit like you offer for RX-7. I have bought couple from you guys before for my FD3S RX-7. I also need apex seals.

Interesting question. But if you wanted to do something about it, I saw this thread a while back.

I haven't done it myself, but I may if having a turbo makes my A/C crappy.

There's a couple things wrong in the picture of this "RX-8" rebuild kit.
Air Control Valve Gasket? Upper Plenum Intake Gasket??
Where are the cut-off rings?
Obviously, this is an REW kit. Do you have the proper parts for a Renesis and at the same price?

To my knowledge, Atkins doesnt have a renesis offering yet, I have asked him directly. Unless he is supplying oem apex seals. The kit shown is for an 86-88 13b nonturbo.

I dunno. All I can tell you is that I speak with them on a weekly basis and obtain parts from them constantly. I have discussed various aspects of rebuilding renesis with him and even inquired about whether they offer atkins version of renny seals, and then I asked why not.
Now this last convo took place a couple months back, so between then and now, he might have come out with an offering. Other than that, to my knowledge, ceramic and oem are the only apex seals offered for the renny. If you know of any other then please post.

We used a file photo for this kit...
Now what you will need for the renny rebuild will be correct when it arrives..
We are working on the correct photo but with only 2 of us here in sales that do the phone and net sales it can get real bizzy..
Also in the ad it will tell you "Picture is for 86 N/A (Only shown for reference.)"
and this is in the first line..

All the RX8 rebuild kits from me are OEM seals {for now}..
I am working on making my own apex seals for the Rx8...
There is no aftermarket kits on the market as of yet.. so all of the kit is all oem for now..

Probably another dumb question from me, but what is the purpose of this kit? For example, If you blow a motor in a turbo application, could something like this rebuild kit get you up and running again potentially?
And if you had to pay for outside labor to do the rebuild, would getting this kit and letting someone rebuild it be cheaper than getting a reman motor from Mazda? (I mean last I heard a reman motor was like upwards of $3k, so I would think this is cheaper)

IF you wait until the engine actually breaks seals, you will almost certainly take out the adjacent rotor, rotorhousing, and in the case of the renesis, one or both adjacent irons.
