They must be pretty confident because they extended the warranty on the RX8 to 8 years to 100,0000 miles.
Yeah, they're both 13B rotary engines but that's about where the similarties end. It's like saying that a 1G-GTE MK3 supra and a 1G-FE IS200 have the same engine. The 7 has sequential twin turbos where the 8 doesn't as well.

cared:toxo Don't forget that they drink oil because they're meant to, it's not the engines failing that causes it. They just have rpm-activated oil squirters, same as the later Supra TT's and the supercharged Levins.I don't know much about rotary engines, but surely having rpm-activated oil squirters just means the oil is moved around differently ? Oil is only going to disappear if it leaks out or it's burnt ?

IS200 Turbo project now just about complete ! See my thread here and leave your comments.
Now running standalone Syvecs ECU and no stock ECU !

toxo Well yeah, the injectors inject into the combustion chamber so it gets burnt.
The oil squirts directly into the combustion chamber ? Well, that would certainly explain it drinking oil ! :ohmy:

The problem is inherent to the design of the rotary engine, they don't have a combustion 'chamber' as such, and the area where the combustion takes place changes in size and shape through the rotation of the rotor. This makes for a very complicated sealing system, and when people talk about the engines blowing up 9/10 it's the seals that have gone (they are a service item). So they throw loads of oil into the mix to try and keep everything lubricated and sealed up, and some of it gets burnt off.
