Selling because of part-out

Is it a Series 1 or Series 2? you list both, but they are not the same engine, and can't be directly swapped.

If it is a Series 1 engine, then you need to list if it is a 4port or 6 port. If you are selling all the accessories attached, I believe you also need to list what transmission it was originally paired with.

Compression test of 6.5 is not "good", but "passing". More accurate would be "passing but headed toward failure". At 22,000 miles, I would get concerned with that low of a compression number. OEM factory should be high 6s, if not mid to high 7s. I've seen a factory engine in the high 8s.

If you are going to list any compression numbers though (which would be wise), you should list all 6 compression numbers with the RPM of the engine during the test. I admit it's possible that all 6 facings could have exactly the same compression, but it's gotta be rare. That could be stellar compression at horribly low RPM, or terrible compression with RPM over test spec.

+1

When I had my engine replaced my numbers were in the low 7's and high 6's and they confirmed my engine as needing replacement.

Edited post to clarify some things.

The Mazda Dealership said that my engine is still strong. I apologize for not specifying the RPM in which it was tested with.

Compression rating of 6.5 front n back @ 200 is "good" condition, because avg new factory series I (2004) engines comes out at a avg rating of 6.8 @ 200RPM.

Plus I was able to crank out a lot of power out of that engine, much better than a few of my other friends with the same year RX8.

Got it, thanks. Corrected 7.2 @ 250rpm can be called "good" :)

:] I'm glad that's clarified :P

I just PM'd you, forgot to ask where are you located in CA?

I am located in southern california 91803.
engine still for sale :]

Sent you a PM if you still have it. very interested

I figured even the most recent n00bs would have called BS on this ... :squint:

It did sound odd to me, I had trouble getting a stock 350z past 154, I couldn't imagine trying on an RX8, but everyone always bullshits stuff like that when trying to sell their stuff..

Is this motor still avaiable?? I would be very interested if it is!! I live in southern AZ and would drive to CAL to pick up!!!

Has anyone ever accused you of being naive?

158 and beyond? ehhhhh 148 or video?

158 @ 6 gear? pfffffFFFFFFF

still available? where in CA are you?
