Questions on Rx8

Wanted to buy a RX8, and thinking of gettting the 5MT. But what are the differences between 5MT and 6MT? I only know 5MT is 210bhp n 6MT is 230bhp right? What else?

Yes, the 5MT is around 210hp, has the 4-port motor, but not sold in North America.

5MT = 210hp (4 ports)

6MT Mazda Motor = 230hp (6 ports)

6MT JDM = 250hp (6 ports)

Hope I'm right wif e spec............cheers

for your consumption:

the naturally aspirated RENESIS has intake and exhaust ports in the side housings. This configuration eliminates overlap between the opening of the intake and exhaust ports, enhancing combustion efficiency. The intake ports are 30% larger and their timing has been changed to make them open sooner than in previous designs. Moreover, the exhaust ports open later, resulting in a longer power (expansion) stroke and providing radically improved heat efficiency.

At the same time, the RENESIS uses a six-port induction (6PI) design, in which each rotor employs three intake ports, and a variable intake timing mechanism. Under this system, dedicated high-speed intake ports begin to operate when the engine operates at high-rev levels. This makes it possible to use the intake's dynamic effect at high and low speeds to maximize compression efficiency.

the RENESIS uses two exhaust ports per rotor. This produces a combined exhaust port opening area nearly twice as large and results in a substantial reduction in exhaust resistance.
