New Malaysia RX-8 thread.
It seems you don't know which parts to change when rebuild...... Do you know that when you rebuilt, you usually need two new rotor housing, a set of apex seal, corner seals and water gasket, that's all...... Those are common change items, side seals and intake & exhaust can still be reused..... If rebuilt wasn't good enuff, why we don't just get new engine, why RE-Amemiya, RotorMaster, Mazfix, FEED and KS rebuilt so many engines a year?????? Think properly pls..... rebuilt is so freaking common, maybe you don't realised....

csl bro. don't think too much liaw. u already buy a new engine. thats the best. thats mean u got extra engine. after u take it out then u try see if u want rebuild that old one or not. if rebuild that one u can put at home for replacing it when it kaboom again. if not then u sell me your old engine. ^^
wood first....after putting on snail i was running 10k de....now still in good condition....guess wat the jap guy are tuning boost up to 0.9bar...our 8 sure got future one.....dont giveup....kam pah teh everybody......
if 8 can reach 280hp on wheel good enough de.....some more light weight keep 8 diet to 1250kg....what do you think??when i check my defi controler the high till o.9 bar at water oil temp at 108/110...i also secrad....better wait till complete all thing to my car just try again...
the japs tuner always say this is wanna gain more house power is easy to them, but if wanna put down hp was very hard de.....if 8 can reach 350hp then better spair one more gear box lo...is good new for us wat....haha..
