Re: Information regarding Luke Murdoch

When I first saw this I was under the assumption it was another Luke from Worthing. I was also under the impression that Luke was from the Dorking area so thought this could give Luke a bit of aggro mistaken identity etc. I’m from the old school you know right from wrong. Trust me I’m no angel/saint...

Re: Rotary Revs New Video RX8 R3 ECU Tune Street Port

What does that 219 relate to Engine Flywheel Hp.

That’s damm good figures for a relatively stock engine.

Getting as much air/fuel mixture into the engine in the shortest time.
Gaining compression.

Convinced I’m not going Bridgeport on my spare engine now.
Even though I’m going SuperCharged.

Re: Speedo canbus?

Would it be possible just to have one ABS wheel sensor and link all four into one.
Assuming you didn’t want the ABS to work.

Re: My first rebuild

Yeah I don't think that rear housing can't be salvaged either. It would run, and it's in part of the cycle where it should have minimal affect on running - compression and combustion not affected - but it will only get worse.

Re: Now I've got a SOHN adapter...

That’s my understanding as well.

What ever oil you use in the COF/SOHN is clean oil and that is injected into the combustion chambers.

I’ll be using Idemitsu in my COF tank
And Shell Helix in the engine.

Re: R3 Sohn

It actually pumps very slightly less, most of the time, just through 6 jets rather than 4 jets. Under normal road conditions an R3 "consumes" less oil than an S1, assuming that they were both being driven the same. However, on track the R3 will consume slightly more, as the control curve ...

Doesn’t the R3 have three oil injectors.
Also the R3 actually pumps more oil into the Chambers.

Re: Possible purchase. Need advice please.

My advice would buy the best you can afford.
Buy with a compression test (That shows the true state of the engine).
BigPete shows the test results 👍
Give it a good road test from cold taking it up to temperature and restarting..

There’s loads of tips to keep them running sweet.

Re: Does the RX8 need XL tyres?

If you go onto the Michelin or Pirelli tyre websites.
And do a search on recommendation for the RX8 they both say XL tyres.

So I’ll say for for the XL
The RX8 isn’t a lightweight at around 1400Kgs.
Weight is almost the same as my 4dr Diesel Mercedes.

Re: Just got an RX8, but it seems broken and my garage dont know hot to fix it.....

Your complaint would be with ECP
As they supplied the Spark Plugs.

If you still have the D585 I’ll get them tested.

Do you still have the old Spark plugs.
Could you post some pictures of them.

If it helps to identify the grease that came out was a dark green

Not in the location you ask.
