Million dollar Ferraris and McLarens would be toast at a track day with this car. You;d be safer and 10x easier to repair when you get get it all crossed up. They are very easy to drive and a lot of fun.
I think I would have fabricated a tubular front k-member. I’ve seen a few turbo g8s and they all have that done to help with room for the turbo. Can’t wait to see how you build it.
I’m using Castrol 927 for my 2 stroke oil. I’ve heard not to use synthetic oil in these engines because it doesn’t t burn off the rotors and leaves deposits. Are they referring to the 2 stroke oil, or the crankcase oil? Are you using 10w-30 or something thicker? I’m not racing mine, it’s just a track day car. Thx.
I run 40 weight or thicker if you have the sohn adapter you can run synthetic oil if you don't you probably shouldn't altho I have supposedly the synthetic engine oil doesn't burn all the way
I bought a 2009 PFM for a play/track car a few months ago. Had to put new brake rotors on it at $380 each, and work thru some issues with it. My first day on Willow Springs scared the hell out of me, but was crazy fun too. I’m still learning about the car. You will have a blast with it!
2:11 sounds almost like a classic F1...with a 2-rotors. Incredible power for a naturally aspirated rotary, Mazda really squeezed every last power of that engine and still meets regulation from 2004-2011. An underrated engine that gets shit on a lot. I already have an RX7, but an RX8 is the next goal before they get expensive.
I'm currently building my G8. New engine, turbo, converter, engine mounts (same as the ones you are using), new every thing ftmp. I'm also doing -10 feed with the sniper rails and Bosch 210's. Cool vids.
Mine literally started doing that last night after I changed my midpipe! I'm guessing it's either somethings barely touching the exhaust and then fully contacts it when the metal gets up... or maybe it's because our engines run super rich when cold 🤷
This car was produced for the Pro Formula Mazda spec series from 2004-2017, the beginning of the RX8, and switch to the Renesis 13b-MSP. No other engine variants were produced. I do not know what variant were used in the carbureted predecessor of this car, which was a heavier, steel tube chassis car making 180hp.
@@signaturemotorsports1555 I see, so the MSP was the original engine. I was under the impression this car was engine swapped to become Rotory. In this case the MSP makes sense.
Performance wise the msp is actully better. In the sense that it is naturally aspirated. Where as the 13brew has a sequential turbo setup to prpduce all the power
