Didnt see this response initially. I understood the first part, that while we have the new EMOPs, they are controlled in the same old way, ie depending on the load and throttle position determines the amount of oil metered. With the second part, are you saying that the only other differences are the actual pumps themselves, ie SI = Brand X (which just happens to be mechanical) and SII Brand Y (Which just happens to be Electric).

Also, why would they go for 2 pumps instead of one? They are downsizing on the injectors...maybe to pay for the extra MOP

OK, so I'm clearly not an expert on rotaries, but in regard to the 2 EMOPs, maybe Mazda have been doing some studying and analysis of the RENESIS over the years and have noticed that the two rotors/housings exhibit some differences in wear or heat issues over time.

By having an individual EMOP for each rotor/housing, maybe they can account for differences between the two (dynamically, precisely tailoring oil flow across all 6 injectors) that may not be possible with one pump?

By that I mean, for example, maybe for some particular load/throttle combinations, the rear rotor is being metered, say, 4% more oil than the front rotor.


Also, hooray for this thread + sticky!

auzoom 01-03-2009 06:17 PM

Thats what I would have figured, but based on MM's post about this, I would have assumed that in order to meter the pumps independantly you would have 2 seperate tables which they dont.

Also, SII only has 4 injectors ;)

Yes, 4 fuel injectors and 6 oil injectors, if that's what you mean.

MazdaManiac 01-03-2009 09:43 PM

Has anyone verified that it is actually two physical MOPs?
I haven't. I only know about the PCM end of it.

Erick - I sincerely want to thank you for that excellent technical contribution.
Unfortunately, I was not aware of that particular technical drawing or its presentation here on this forum.

I consider this elucidation of the subject to be most welcome and the clarification of the matter is, in my view, absolute in light of this particular bit of added information.

According to the above diagram,, the two OMP's appear to share a common union. Seems they both rely on the same oil source.
I find it funny that I can only find 4 outlets for the oil injectors on the pumps. Where are the injection lines for the other two.?
I know Mazda loves these vague pics but is there another pic with the injection lines in relation to the pumps?

METERING OIL PUMP RESISTANCE INSPECTION.

1. Disconnect the metering oil pump No1 and No2 connectors (2 terminals).
2. Measure the resistance between terminals A-B using a Tester.

* If not within the specification, replace the metering oil pump.

Metering Oil Pump No1 and No2 standard resistance.
3.6 - 4.1 OHMS ( Temp 20 oC / 68 oF)

Source: 2009 RX-8 WS Manual.

I have not checked the Parts Manual, but it appears if the EMOP's are defective you renew the complete unit as there are no serviceable components.

If you look very carefully at the right pump on that diagram, it shows two outlets.
They just didn't want to show double banjo fittings on that diagram, so they used a split line to designate two identical connections.
Compare this to the left pump.

Here is the only other Diagram I can find of the EMOP and the Oil Tubes (as Mazda call them), the rest you have already seen, the manual does not show the Oil Tubes on their own or in a completed series or circuit.

I am sure the Parts Manual would show in more detail.

There is a supply hose that goes from one EMOP to the OCV (No. 10) Oil Control Valve, located by the Water Pump/ Front Timing Cover.

As shown on page 2 of this thread...unfortunately there are no other complete pics of the Oil Tubes in the WS Manual.

The Hose Removal Clamp/Fitting is related to the hose interconnection of the two EMOP's, sorry I just cant find any more diagrams for you.

Interesting Rob,
First, this manual I have shown here is the LHD US/Canadian Version.

SO Just to confirm this..

Series I in the US 6SP Manual Had 2 oil coolers, your Auto's only had one as did the Australian Manual and Auto versions only having the one.

Series II, The Australian Manual (mine) and US have 2 oil coolers, and it appears the Auto's still have only one? in both countries?..

WHY?, Why would Mazda penny pinch on such a critical Item when the largest percentage of US engine failures were the Auto's AFAIK.

Have I got that correct Rob?, Great find mate.

I really thought both Auto and Manual (Series II) would of had 2 oil coolers, I must check out an Auto when at the dealer this coming week.

Having said that we know the Auto does not Rev as high, but it is still a 6 port motor?

Thanks
Ash

robrecht 01-04-2009 02:38 AM

The sales literature actually has said that the autos have dual oil coolers for some time but they don't, at least not in the US. I haven't personally looked at a 2009. I agree it's pretty stupid of Mazda not to use two coolers on the autos in the warmer climates anyway. I suspect they think it's not necessary with the lower rpms on the auto, but ...

auzoom 01-04-2009 03:04 AM

Ash,

Can I suggest summarising each finding in post #1.

Cheers

Andrew

LionZoo 01-04-2009 03:59 AM

The opening for the oil coolers on the front is larger, but is the opening on the back the same? This is critical as I always thought the front opening was large enough, but the small slits in the back were probably choking the flow a bit. As it is, even the Series 1 oil cooler intakes had plenty more open area than either than cooler itself or the exhaust.

The 19's are lighter than the 18's? Interesting.

why did they change the baffling in the sump?
Was there some kind of problem identified?

great thread by the way!

so they've decided that with the new oiling they dont need that cooler in the autos.

the whole sump changed

It may be possible that one EMOP does the existing two outer oil injectors and the other EMOP does the "Trailing" centre oil injector?

Yes. One of the EMOPs are for the two center oil nozzles (1/rotor), and the other for the 4 (2 per rotor) side nozzles.

Question:

Why Mazda increase the oil pressure so much? Because of the better cooling (higher oil flow), or to avoid the part's surface contact?

As I remember ( now I don't have time to check the correct data) the pessure is almost 2 Bar higher in the series II. ( xxw-30, 100C, 3000 rpm).

A WS manual does not tell you what has changed.

Mazda Parts will tell you if the number has changed, which it has.

I can confirm the Fuel tank is 5 litres (about a gallon) larger.

From the WS manual all other parts and locations appears the same.
The tanks is located in the same position.

Will there be any benefit to using premix on the '09+ now that there is an injector dedicated to the center of the apex seal?

I would still use pre-mix no matter what combination of oil nozzles they put in there.
Its very likely that the new scheme actually injects even less oil than the previous version. The thinking being that since the "coverage" is better, the volume need not be as high. (Speculation - I don't have flow rates for the new pumps.)
More importantly, the oil distribution is going to be more uniform coming from the fuel source rather than the MOP nozzles.
I'd still mix 400:1 or so in the tank and turn up the MOP 5% or so with a reflash.

Anecdotal evidence from some owners (a guy on this forum from Omaha or Oklahoma, can't remember), who have owned both "versions", suggest that the '09+ is using more oil than their previous RX-8.

i would like to see more comments about this. i asked that question and got a no in another threat. i have a lot of respect for MazdaManiac but would still like a little bit more response. I got my 09 so i wouldnt have to pre mix but will if it needs it.

I think you're the guy I was referring to in my post above. :)

Can you comment on oil consumption in your '09 versus your previous 8?

heyarnold69 01-05-2009 07:04 PM

use less premix perhaps?

LPCOKIE 01-05-2009 07:48 PM

i was using 5oz per tank in my 05 with no oil use between changes, every 3000miles. my 09 uses about half a quart every week. i average 450 to 500 miles a week, which is about 75% interstate.

LionZoo 01-05-2009 08:27 PM

That is quite a lot of oil. Maybe the centers are injecting quite a bit more than we suspect since there's no center port and so the center injected oil is less likely to escape and damage the cat and this also means it's less of an emissions concern? Either way, unless evidence proves otherwise, I'd still probably assume that Mazda is injecting less oil than optimal for emissions reasons. It's better to be on the safe side; a cat costs a lot less than a new engine.
