G'Day All,
Thought you might be interested in some pix of the new RX8 "long bare" engines. Just received a shipment. Enjoy! Pix are of the 4 port auto engine. Note that the RX8 engine comes with a "aircraft installation friendly" waterpump already built into the front cover. No longer any need to cut and weld!
The 4 port is a much better proposition for aero application (IMHO anyway) than the 6 port - Mazda rate them at nearly 200 Clydesdales @ 7,500 RPM IN THE CAR. The 6 port is rated at around 240 + BHP @ 8,500. Only difference is the later port closing timing of the 6 port.
By removing the cat converter and the mufflers should add another 30 - 40 - BHP. Judicious inlet porting (there is plenty of meat (see pix) to open up the inlets) could add quite a few more. (Better than trying to make the 6 ports flow properly without the barrel valves).
I curently have one RX-8 engine left for sale and expect to have another shipment in 6 weeks. Should anyone want one, let me know. FOB price is currently $9,551.20 AUD (plus approx $600 Airrfreight & Insureance - delivery within 7 days anywhere in the world) I also have some BRAND NEW FD5 ('96 - 2000 RX7) REW 13B turbo engines with auto conunterweight.. FOB Prices for these are $7,300 AUD plus freight etc. ALL these engines (both RX8 and FDs) are BRAND NEW factory crated "bare long"engines. (with sump but no manifolds or ancillariies - RX8 engines have waterpump on front cover - see pix).
Cheers,
Leon
Best Wishes & Kindest Regards,
