i searched but i cant find what i need.

this kid is talking to me and i think he is feeding me a line but i like to have proof before i call out rotary nubs. unfortunately i havent learned much about the renesis motor(spending too much time with the classic rotaries) and am wondering if it is a 6 port intake motor or 4 port intake or if there are variants of both. thank you for a quick response

 

All manual transmission RX-8's in the US come equipped with 6 port motors. You could get a manual with a 4 port in Europe. All automatic transmission RX-8's up to 08(?) had 4 port engines. Now all RX-8's in the US have 6 port motors.

 

thank you god

 

thats why hes the rotarygod

 

I thought the Auto's got the 6 port treatment in 06?

Really just going off memory here, though...and FYI, my memory sucks.

 

yeah i also thought that in 06 the US started to put 6 ports in auto's also....but i know the 04 and 05 MT was 6 port and AT was 4

 

I too thought it was 06 for the 6AT. That may be why RG put a ? in his post.

 

Maybe he is NOT in fact the GOD haha....j/k RG

 

2006 + has the 6port for the Auto
04-05 auto only have the 4 port.

 

hey i was the one to confirm the 6 port autos in 06 and tell fred after sitting in the car in the tech center during 7stock and then opening the hood to look mind you we didnt ask the mazdapeeps just opened the hood and and pulled the cover to check

 

So what kind of difference between the 4 and 6 port engines are we talking about? Is there a noticeable difference?

 

4 port = 197hp
6 port = 212 hp

 

^ automatic.

it's 232 on the 6 port manual.

and yes, there is a VERY noticeable difference.
