Since the apex seals are shorter than the older ones, there is a good chance they would get caught in the bridge since the edge may not be long enough to ride across the bridge. The safest way would be to machine out the rotors to allow an older apex seal design. Luckily this has been done. I don't know about the brideport being done yet. No one has reported it yet but you know someone somewhere is trying it. It should have some very good power potential though. I can't wait to see one.

No.......... if you look at the Link on YOU-TUBE, the Black RX-8 has been BP.

I have been following our South African Member, Philip, who has just got his RX-8 back after having it Bridge Porting.. in SA....who said it could not be done!?

Phil, you are too modest mate, more info.

Philip's car is one of the originals with LOOOONG engine mileage, I think over 207,000 KM-125,000 Miles.

I really wish we could get more of a "This is how you do" for Bridging a Renny. I'd love to see some numbers on it.

How about the fabled "cheese port" that once appeared on the RX-7 forum? All of the sounds of a bp idle with none of the performance!

When you say "Cheese port" the only thing I can think of is a yeast infection for some reason.

When ever anyone says bridgeport, I only think of a milling machine. But I may be biased.

look at all the postings in this thread? trash. lounge material.

this thread was/is irrelevant. the black rx8 has its OWN THREAD ALREADY. thats great. i love the sound. i wish i could do that my car.

what he should have done was make another thread. instead of bumping a 5 post thread that went no where. you bump threads if it has something to contribute. this thread had nothing. still does.
