:lol: Me too.

u are wrong Ash.

s2k pwnz rx8 left and right, rx8 is a PEACE of shit car it does not last longer than older rotary engine even lots of them had over 200k when fd can barely go over 100kmark and his sandpaper skills will make his slow as shit rx8 even slower but of course he will not blame on his own stupity instead its always the cars fault roflwtfbbqlmaolololol

rx8 vs s2000
so similar in many ways, it's sad to see people bashing
:sadwavey:

I've owned both, and they are both awesome cars.

i don't think you understand what i am saying

stop replaying i though you where done

s2000 is better car then rx8 overall

and i said its slower then rx8 but its better

just like you said rx8 is better then 400whp evo x or 911 Porsche because you seen rx8 go faster at auto x...i will take either of those car over rx8 any day

and i think s2000 its a better cornering machine then rx8 even tho its slower
it has more potential to build on while with rx8 engine there is no point to try to make more power as engine cant handle it


my friend has 700whp s2000 its a monster something rx8 engine will never accomplish

i don't know any rx8 that made it past 70k that was raced all tho i have seen tone of them go trough two engines within firs 100k so i wouldn't say rx8 engine is better then rx7 engine...all internals of rx7 engines are stronger and can handle more power ... my FD has over 100k went single turbo at 70k still running strong on original engine

only good bit of info i got was to add bit more oil ....witch helped ...as stated before rx8 started building compression in rear rotor 30PSI front still 0 psi and its not do to the irons as front iron are better...but rotor housing

as i said before i do not give rats ass about rx8 and explained why i did what i did
i got the car for 2k with two blown engines...so i decide to practices on it before i build a brand new engine so it served its purpose.... i did not try push starting it...as i am just going to take the engine out and install Mazda rem engine in

if i get my hand on one bit better rotor housing dirt cheap i know engine would start and i will drop it in FC or FB

its cheaper to get mazda rem @ 1800$ then to rebuild this engines

And they work better too ;)

Well I've owned a over 40 Hondas all kinds including Acura Same !! just because I work on them flip and make money on them , that's what I know their good for !!! we working on 4 project cars at the moment and when I mention my rx8 I get more attention then any Honda unless is the NSX and s2000 are nice but I wouldn't buy I driven them and it feels good but it dont feel like the RX8 feeling at All. Just saying !!!

_And about your built good luck but don't smash the RX8 because you think is a piece of yunk . Just focus on rebuilding that Engine right and getting out their, race it I'm 100% sure you will Love it once you get it right and Actually Race it once you Pass up more expensive Cars and leading over s2000's that feeling will come back and bite you in The ass for taking about the 8, well thats if you are a good racer.

Anyways did you pull start it yet ?

no i did not try it...

then why u even bother with rx8? oh right u want to practice, hmm if its so slow then what's the point? shouldn't u be practicing in a "better car" in the first place?

you "think"? OK, too bad you are wrong.

so u expect a stock engine to handle how much power again? you don't even know what you are doing that explains why u love using sandpapers.


stock internals? not a chance

i guess i can call s2k garbage now cuz a 20 something yr old 2jz can go over 1500 HP?

rx8market is small and resources are limited, just about 5 years ago people said 300 HP is the most rx8 can go, now its already at 400 something. just because u don't know how to do it doesn't mean someone will not be able to.

i want to see a stock fd that race all its life to go over 100k mark.

early rx8 was murdered by Mazda stock programming, well i guess ignorant morons like u wouldn't cared.

went single Turbo? u kept talking about how stock rx8 sucks and don't last and u brag about ur modded fd. try it on stock fd then u come back, oh did u even do those mods urself? have u sandpaper ur turbo`s bearing?

Hey you guys!

http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thin...l&tid=36091680

you get them 9k

on another note I am really digging the transforming chihuahua paint scheme I did last night....it really brings out the lines on the 8

OP, I need better pics of your housings and irons to help with this issue ... if you cannot provide, I cannot help

Is this your first rebuild?

page 1 had some slight interest from me....
from page 2 on I couldn't help notice all of the words the OP misspelled ...

I wasn't outright looking for mistakes .... but good lord this guy must have been a train wreck in school.

:suspect::suspect::crazy::wink2:

then? than?

Prolly could care less....

has it ever been considered that maybe we should lower our standard on the expectation of americans in general? I work for a good size company and only about 3% of the workforce can write a professional letter.....I am not even really counting punctuation.:lol:

i am not American and English is not my 1st language... i speak 3 languages...so yea my spelling is not to good...

i am a rotary fanatic jut not big on rx8 i think it was a mistake and Mazda should have been working on new FD

as far as work on my FD i do it all by my self don't really let any on touch it

and my stock rx7 was still way way faster then rx8... actually my mom's car is faster then rx8...

i think the reason for not working on a better car like my FD first and taking on this RX8 project... is just practise as i stated so many times now and because its a rotary car like my FD and engines only have hand full of differences...and i have another engine from Mazda....

now nycgps you need to stop talking shit...

i would never send out the housings for resurfacing as its just cheaper for me to get new ones from mazda...

and there is no good rotary shops in NYC or NY i have seen some work from NYC rotary shops

yes its my first rebuild...that's why i didnt wanna go all out

hard to see in this pic but the edge of the housings are bit more used up on a apex tip side while the other edge is fine

both engines started in there broken down form so i think it just mater of braking in the new internals bit more

but the engine is out all ready and Mazda rem is going in...

I am no expert but those dont look very good...is it the picture? they look frosted vs. chrome

did you try push starting it?

I give up dude, seriously.

I just gave up on humanity.

yea...but what if humanity looked like this......would you still give up on it

I suspect you will find your problem when you take it apart ....

hmm ...

life is not all that bad I guess ... :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

he just have to sandpaper some more

or maybe it's time to take that stainless steel wire brush out ?

serbrx8, What worked for you? I just rebuilt my engine and it wont start. I reused all housings and did the rebuild because of a coolant seal that went bad. I was getting coolant in my oil, but the car still ran before the rebuild. After the rebuild, im only getting 30psi of compression. I was able to start it by rolling down a steep hill in 2nd gear and then I have driven it for 200 miles, changed the oil and driven it for another 200 miles and changed the oil again, but it still has low compression and wont idle or wont start on it own? Am i destroying this thing by trying to break it in? Do i need new housings / irons? Is using solid corner seals the problem? or 2 piece apex seals from atkins rotary? I used an atkins rotary rebuild kit. My biggest question is should the housings be resurfaced, and who can do it for me? I live in California, but since these housing will individually fit in a laptop box, I could probably ship them anywhere. Im not in a huge hurry to do this, since this is a project car of mine. I have learned so much about rotary engines in this as my first rebuild. I want to fix my mistakes. Does anyone have any advice that can help?

Something is definitely not right if you only have 30psi of compression

What did you use for side seal clearances?

mmmm failed.

it's funny cuz there is no way u can fail on a MSP rebuild really ... u can buy all seals pre-cut ... how ppl f it up ... seriously. lol

Aren't you your usual ray of sunshine ;)

LOL!

just read this whole thread....

It's mostly about checking the specs for each of the parts being reused correctly to determine what should and should not be reused and using quality seals (OEM) and not Atkins crap.

i think most of the time the irons are ok, its just the rotor housing thats the problem, but that's just me :)

Thanks for the posts. I have found water on my dip stick. I will pull it apart this weekend and im not doubting that i will learn something valuable. If anyone can think of something that could prevent me from opening it up, I would be ever so grateful. Not that rebuilding this is a hardship, its a lot of fun for someone with an engineering mind.

Just so you know. I've been told "Milkshaking" on rotary engine dip sticks is normal. Read more about this before pulling your engine apart. I panic'd when I saw this on my dipstick a couple years ago. I forget who told me but he said rotary engines can't remove condensation and moisture like a piston engine can and that the milky dipstick is nothing to be concerned about. See what you can find out on your own before pulling the engine for this.

it's not normal, but it doesn't do much harm

there is a kit from Mazda that help fixes the problem.

and if u do remember whoever said " rotary engines can't remove condensation", you should stop talking to him, as he doesn't know what he was talking about.

I will probably research this Mazda mod to resolve this issue. What I meant to say is that rotary engines don't circulate air through the crankcase like a piston engine does - through a PCV valve. I think Mazda figured this out on later models and started using something like a PCV valve to solve this. I will say that with mine, during summer months when it's more humid outside I have the same issue. It's not an issue through the winter. That's the way it's always been with mine. I currently have my engine apart and was surprised at how much of a pain in the ass this motor is to get out so I wouldn't pull it for this issue. After tear down/inspection, only my front stationary gear bearing had wear. All others and crankshaft cams are fine (106,000 miles). I'll add that I have been using synthetic oil. Can't imagine why using synthetic oil is not good.

crankshaft cams?

and the update is not some PCV valve, it's just suck all the fume to the service port on the engine so it does not gum the SSV up
