new oiling system. no power changes for the engine
|
What do you mean by new oiling system also i thought the suspension changed too.
|
you didnt ask about suspension changes you specifically asked if the engine had changed. read the big thread starting on page 18 https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-media-news-11/facelifted-rx8-revealed-135098/page18/ look for the press release on that page

What's up with the new oil system? I didn't see anything following the link. The front looks more aggressive, but overall I don't like it, I just hate that now people will say, "oh you have the older RX8"

pretty sure there are some minor changes, they will not release a whole new car with nothing changed. just like the new Z
|
I believe that Noboru Katabuchi (Rx-8 program manager) mentioned during the Detroit show that there would be a change in the apex seal (also to be implemented in the 16X) that will result in lower oil consumption. The oil pump has also been replaced from a mechanical to electric system to improve the startup capability in cold weather.

woah, when did they go to mechanical, in 89 the RX7s went to electric and I assumed its been that way since

The new pump has an electric motor in it, IIRC, so it can pump when the motor is off. Going to key-on pushes oil into the motor before it cranks, improving startup. |
