Combustion Recess Differences
Reading through the hardcover RX-8 book, I got curious about something. There are a couple of places where it shows the J-spec rotors having a differently shaped combustion recess than the U.S.-spec rotors. For example, page 139 shows rotors from a U.S. 12A motor having tapered recesses, while the Japanese 12A rotors had symmetrical recesses. Anyone know what effect the different recess shapes had on the motor? And yes, I do understand the difference between the MDR and LDR recesses in the later 12A's.

Most likely only to tune compression ratios for different markets/petrols.
Here's a pic of an Rx8 rotor destined for New Zealand
