How about simplifying things by just comparing the torque output of each engine in N/A mode?

 

89-91 RX-7, 160hp, 140 ft lbs tq
RX-8, 238hp (225 hp?) ,159 ft lbs tq

Of course we can also look at it from a chassis dyno perspective as well:

I wouldn't muddy the waters with that approach.

 

both?

 

I haven't found that panacea.

 

none of these pictures load anymore. can you do something about this? i need to know about a rebuild.

 

This does not show you how to do a rebuild, no more than burger king will show you how to make the whopper exactly as they do. It was simply an overview of the process with some scattered pics. I have several more recent rebuild threads where the some of the pics should still show up, if you want to see the same process.

 

My complements to you for even caring anymore.

 

Can you elaborate on that thought any?

Also what's the status of your project? I see you're a budding engine builder now, so I'm curious how yours finally worked out.

 

Thought elaboration: Demands from random people for something you did for free, just becuase you care. Then you responding to them in a polite way. that got compliments from me. I would have been a bit more harsh.

The build is going well so far. Close to 3k on it, makes good power, no leaks, starts normally . Still haven't gotten a compression test or had it on the dyno. I plan on doing the compression test soon, maybe at seven stock.

I did have a bad miss shift on it though and fubar'd the clutch. Also it has a small leak from the oil pan which I will need to remove once again. When I change the clutch out I will be doing the oil pan as well.

So overall the build itself turned out pretty well.

 

What was the story with the lack of endplay etc and how did you wind up resolving it? That was the last I heard of it, when I sent you that front bolt.

And, that hasn't been more than what, a couple months ago? How the HELL did you put 3k miles on that bitch already? It's been right at 2 years since I installed the rebuilt 6 port engine in my rx8 when I did the MT swap in summer of 08, and as of today it has right at 8300 miles on it.

 

Yea the spacer and bearing get messed up. replaced all that and boom everything was golden.

LOL I drive a whole lot, around 1000 miles a month.

 

4 years since this post was placed. It's a pity that images are gone due the interest of this¡¡¡¡

 

If you search around you can find other pics... Maybe some threads that other people started... Hint Hint, nudge wink wink.

 

If there was so much interest, the thread would not have fallen 4 years ago.

Look for my other threads, you'll find plenty of pics. There is a recent teardown/build thread on an 04 AT that the pics should still work for.

 

Hi R. R.!!
Do you know why the pics are no longer visible?
Does it happens to every body or only to me
Huge effort that we can't appreaciate properly.
Thanks

 

Have you read any posts on this page?

The pics are gone but you can search around and find your answers.

 

We can search back and find a 4 year old thread and complain that the pics are gone, but we missed the stickies at the top of the tech page for removal and teardown that still have all their pics.

 

Please forgive my ignorance and please don't send me to the scaffold.

 

Now you know what to do! Hopefully others will follow suit.

 

the OP will refuse to admit he's doing it wrong to his grave, logic be damned

 

What the hell are you babbling about?

 

rofl, failed.

 

Oh, well you know team... If it doesn't cost $20,000 it hasn't been done right.
