RX-8 Powertrain
Does anyone have an image of an RX-8 Powertrain cutaway or schematic that shows the engine and transaxle orientation? I trying to picture which way everything faces. Thanks.

transaxle? it's rear wheel drive...
|
Dunno if it helps, but here is a side view of the engine: http://www2.ocn.ne.jp/~otori/Images/kyozai/Rx8_01.jpg
The fan is in the front. You can see where the tranny hooks up, which attaches to a drive shaft, which attaches to the axle in the rear, which attaches to the rear wheels. I know that takes some abstract thinking and isn't exactly what you asked for, but it's the best I can do in 5 minutes. ;) |
^ yeah what he said
|
Yes that helps... I guess I need to see the eccentric shaft and how it is attached to the engine. Is it just a short shaft that attaches to the transmission?
|
The e-shaft runs roughly parallel to the drive shaft, just like a crank shaft would in a front mount RWD piston engine.
