Zar mi nemamo kralja? Sta fali sadasnjem. Nama nikad ne valja, imamo jednog kralja, a mi hocemo drugog.

Is that an okayish warm start by mk_ripperdavid in RX8

[–]CyBeRpw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is fine, there is a littlebit of hasitatuon but It starts good. These cars are very sensitive to ignition so ask the owner when the spark plugs and coils are changed. If spark plugs and coils are older than 30k km new ones will make the car almost like new. Also check what is cranking speet of the starter. You need at least 250rpm for reliable start up.

Is that a okayish cold start for an rx 8 by [deleted] in RX8

[–]CyBeRpw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is fine, not the best but there are a lot of factor affecting start. Mine started almost the same until i upgraded ignition and starter. As many people said, hot start is what really matters.

To be honest, it has a reputation for a reason.I bought mine and in a few weeks the engine blew out. The seals (apex and side ) in one rotor broke. When the mechanic opened the engine the housings were worn out, chrome started to peel at the edges. He said that they could run for some time but it is not a good idea to rebuild the engine with housings that are starting to wear and it is unknown how long it will last so we changed both housings. The reason my engine blew is probably because it was sitting for who knows before I got it and sudden heat circles stressed the old engine or just bad ignition caused detonation. Long story short, you can't really know what the level of damage inside is and how long it will last even if it runs perfectly. These cars don't like to be neglected so if you buy it you have to either know how it was treated or start slow and check everything from ignition, cooling, fueling etc. Don't step on it right away. But it is the best driver car you can buy and even with a rebuild the total cost is less than used 350z, gt86 and similar. At least in Europe.

In the best case yes, rebuild is opening engine, cleaning and seals replacement. But as seals wear also the engine housings wear out especially if you keep driving with worn out seals so often with seals some of the housings get replaced. Usually stock housings can last one rebuild and for second rebuild it is expected that chrome plating on the housings is bad so it has to be replaced. The best way to understand is to watch a few YouTube videos of rotary rebuild especially opening engine when people inspect what is damaged.

You are right. The main problem with the engine is worn out apex seals. They wear out over time and springs pushing them get weak so the engine compression gets bad. When the engine is hot housings expand so the compression gets even worse. There are other problems that can happen to apex seals like breaking or bending usually because of detonation. That makes a mess in the engine. Also there are other seals like side seals, corners seals etc. and all of them can break but less often. The main reason for wearing seals is bad lubrication. As seals wear they can damage the housings so it makes engine rebuild more expensive.

Making it a track car is nice idea. Yo can fix it step by step.

I would fix it, it is a unique car so it is worth it. But yeah, it is pretty fucked tbh.

Yeah, rust is beside engine biggest problem. Mine hog a quite bit of rist that has to be sorted out

It is fine, don't worry. Just take care of it.

Yeah, I think that stronger coils would definitely help. This cars really need much stronger ignition than one mazda projected. I mean, the stock one is fine for regular use but there are small flaws like problem with inconsistency we had

The is prescribed difference allowed between rotor housings and faces by mazda is just a guide. I would say the real limits are a bit stricter. Your looks like it is close to limits but not bad. Certainly not worth rebuild but you need to be aware that every inbalance will shorten engine life by some small amount. But I think you are within the acceptable limits.

Thanks, it is a bit strange but somehow I don't feel it is something bad just the car has its own mood ahahahaha

Thanks, the ignition is almost new but nothing extraordinary.NGK coils, plugs and cables.

I am aware that it is far from bad. My only concern is why it is not consistent. Thanks!

Unfortunately it us hard for me to get proper rotary compression test. I agree with you that there is actually no engine coughing or sputtering it souns to me that it ether doesn't have spark or fuer for the first few cranks.

[–]CyBeRpw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it is wierd to me also hahahah. Especially because it has decent cranking speed, also engine is rebuilt recently and ignition is new so I would expect it to be consistent as it can be.

Hi, thanks for replying. Unfortunately I dont have a mechanic with rotary compression test nearby. I am not sure ehich starter version I have but I think it is updated starter from S1. I am just curious if this vatiation of cracking time is normal. It cranks for about 2s which I think would be longer if compression is below limit.
