Interesting read.... Perhaps I should have done a tad more digging before opening my mouth instead assuming the Renesis OMP worked the same as previous rx7 models assuming your data is correct. I stand corrected sir.

 

If you check the design of the rx7 pumps ...it's the same . Only difference is there are 2 pumps not 4 .

 

RX7 pump
Compare with pic on first page (of the linked thread) ...design is the same :

 

Have you read this thread :
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...-premix-60867/

 

Just did .... Seems that guy didn't fully understand how it worked

 

Yeah that thread has been around for years. Thanks for posting a link to that thread of yours, guess ill do some more reading.

 

I've since updated my pre-mix to 8oz per fill-up, or roughly 0.5oz of oil to 1 gallon of fuel. No smoke or excessive fuel trimming, so I'll stick with it for now.

As far as the SOHN, it seems to be pumping an effective amount of oil. It injected about 32oz during the first 1,000mi break-in. It will be interesting to see what it does over the next 1,000 miles of normal driving.

 

JASO FC = ISO EGC
JASO FD = ISO EGD

Got it, Thanks!

 

what about upper cylinder lube lucas?

 

Since you guys brought up the sohn adapter, I recall someone on here telling me the sohn adapter leaves some areas of the engine unlubricared. Can you guys elaborate? Something like sohn kills track engines or something for lack of complete lubrication. I was searching for my post and his response but am having a hard time locating it.. I didn't see these replies. I though rx8club wrote me off for flicking the bird

 

Lots of people say lots of things. The Sohn isn't changing the injection pattern or volume from stock, it only changes what is injected. Premix should get oil into places the stock injection system can't, like side seals.

 

Are you kidding me? So the plate doesnt block off any lubrication pathways? I could have sworn it was teamrx8 who told me that.

 

I'm not kidding.

 

damn
now i have another item on my shopping list...

 

what do you guys think about the olddragger mod with the tranny cooler as a secondary radiator? I thought that was genius but i fear the car may run too cold. thoughts?

 

As long as it's thermostat- controlled, it won't run too cold.

 

And centre of the apex seals since there is still no middle injector.
