, and I can get away with saying that because I'm getting up there.
Thanks for the pics though.
It's nice to see that mazda has not discarded the 6 port design. I just hope I don't have to wait too long to actually see this engine in action.

I could see it on the other thread you posted.. it certainly does look like, from the picture you posted, that it's a 4 port and the AUX port is blocked.. But you're still crazy, and you never share enough good info with those of us from texas
Thanks for the pics though.

It definitely looks like a 4 port with the aux ports blocked off. However, could it be that they just showed the 4 port config for the AT cars (as it's similar to the current 4 port design), and that there may still be a 6 port coming for the MT cars?

Interesting. So are they going to do a 4 and a 6 port on this engine too? Perhaps? It confuses me to see this though as they dumped the 4 port 13B Renesis.

Maybe release the 4 port first for the RX-8 and then the 6 port with the following vehicle. Why would they do that? Maybe they know how weak the RX-8 transmission is?

1) The engine cannot rev higher than 7500rpm, hence the 4 port.
2) They will turbo this to put in a MS8 and 4 port works better
3) The ports are large enough to breath to 8500rpm
4) 4 port engine is lighter
I would like to see a 6port available tho. If the engine makes ~265hp@7000rpm, its gonna make a lot more at 8500rpm. If the ports are large enough to breath to 8500rpm, 2 extra ports mean more power at ~10000+rpm, assuming the exhaust ports can handle the flow.
However it is only applicable in a race car, as either option would take the engine out of factory suggested limits for a production car.
Although an engine that makes 265hp@7000rpm is much better than 265hp@8500rpm, I personally would prefer the higher revving engine.
A 6-port engine that makes 265hp@8500rpm that could flow more would be perfect. So the aftermarket can unlock more hp at higher rpm , and we can use that power at our own risks.

Whether we will (Australia) see the 6 port/speed Auto in the new model next year is yet to be confirmed.
I do not think even the UK has had the 6 speed/port Auto.

I don't buy Kool-Aid
My thoughts: 4 port for the AT and the 6 port for the MT, also we will see a new Tranny.
Thats my 2nd prediction

4 port is lightter and sympler for a small light weight car?
6 port more power more complex for a larger more heavy car?
maybe they got what they wanted out of a 4 port engine?
I think this is positive, if they got 20% more power and torque from a 4 port imagine what they can get out of a 6 port

Purveyor of fine bass
I don't think Mazda dumped the 4-port--aren't they still selling the low-power 4-port 5-speed RX-8 in Europe and other countries?

I know why it is a 4 port
the car that this is going to be in does not have enough space for the 6 port intake manifold, the engine is going to be almost between the driver and passenger
