I heard someone say that one should replace the rotar tips in the rx7 with Rx8 tips. Would this work for reliability?

Is it possible to put Rx8 rotar tipes in the Rx7's engine to make it more reliable?

What does an rx-8 accelerate to 60 at? Maybe 6 seconds? Please, a WRX could beat that, let alone the new v8's. The new mustang GT will smoke the rx-8 if mazda doesn't charge this beauty.

Please take this response in a light spirit- I can't help but respond: are your crazy? First, the advances Mazda has made to produce the Renesis are far too precious to even think about them not being applicable to 3 and 4 rotor engines. There will be huge numbers of three and four rotor engines produced in the future (my humble prediction, given recent and upcoming technical advances). Second, that kind of thinking, that the side ports cannot be done on the inside rotors is just defeatist thinking. If Mazda listened to that thinking, they would not have come out with a Renesis, or a 20B, or won the '91 Lemans with 690hp rotary. The simple answer - just space the damned center rotors sufficiently to get ports and passages in there!!!!!!!!!!!

I certainly hope they gave it some "go" to go alone with that "show."

Anybody have any idea if Mazdaspeed is giving the RX-8 a turbo, or dare i say, a 20B? Or is this just going to be an advertising tool to atract the rice-boy "tuners?" I personally hope not.

I don't think the 20B could undergo the RENESIS treatment because the inner rotar can't be side ported.

The suspension and brake upgrades sound like they will make this car faster, the article only talks about the way the new panels look, if they are carbon fiber (like the MazdaSpeed hood for the FD3S) they could shave some weight and also help with performance.

But I agree, this car is begging for a turbo.

If mazdaspeed parts are priced the same way as the ridicuolous prices like the rx8 accessories then they can keep them .
Anyhow why spend all that money and have your mazdaspeed look like everybodies other mazdaspeed.
MAZDA is better of investing in getting the correct kw figures on their cars instead of window dressing the car.

Notice they said "with mazdaspeed parts", not "mazdaspeed edition."

That's the difference, no official badge.

�RX-8 is the ultimate performance car..."

...yeah right and America won the Battle of Britain. Some realism would help.

It will run circles around whatever V8 POS you're running!

Quick question, seeing as you raised the topic ..
does the renisis only have ports on the end plates?? not the second section?? i was under the impression that it had ports on both sides of the rotor. what has changed in the renesis from the peripheral exhaust rotaries that makes this not possible?
