This he claimed the 3-stage intake system on an RX-8 engine is the same as the VDI on a Kouki FC non-turbo: http://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_...ad.php?t=13146

Now he's spewing so much bullshit in this thread, isn't it against the rules to be doing this crap?

You can disagree with me on the wheel offset topic all you want that's your right but I don't think your in your "rights" to say I'm and idiot or my website sucks or whatever you said. All because your mad about not agreeing with my viewpoint. It's certainly not right for you to post this message that you have posted. Nor is it right that everyone bandwagons on with you and just agrees without thinking of what they are saying.

Here's some info: The Renesis uses the same devices as the kouki as you put it (Series 5 RX-7) engine, plus one change the SSV. I've explained it in the other thread where "that" conversation is taking place. It's not up for speculation that's what it is and how it works. so how is that misleading? or as you so eloquently put it "spewing bullshit". It is what it is. I'm sorry if you don't understand how it works or have one that's apart in your garage so you can look at it and see how it works. I'm not gonna say don't reply if you don't know the answer because that's someting you would do.

I didn't say mixing oil with the fuel in the gas tank doesn't work I just don't see the point when Mazda has already gave you a device for doing so. I am against using the engine's oil that's silly, but also the only option they could logically used from a factory stand point. Who would buy a car that has to have something poured into the fuel tank or an extra tank under the hood of a car every few thousand miles or at every fill up? Probably less than 1% of the earth's population that's who.

A word on specific gravity:

I have seen in person in real life not on the internet the repercussions of specific gravity. A friend of mine lost a engine due to changing fuel BRANDS not fuel types or octanes. Going from one 110 octane fuel to another brand. The engine destroyed itself in short order. 1 day of that fuel and it was over. Come to find out the specific gravity of that fuel was quite a bit different than the one he was tuned for. Yes this car was at the ragged edge of it's tune so I admit it's a bit of a stretch in comparison but it shows the consequences. This is when I learned about this topic. Think of the specific gravity of a liquid as the weight/size of the molecules. Basically fatter ones don't fit through as easy so there's less fuel at a given load and RPM so the engine destroyed itself.

Surely the oil suspended in the fuel of a premixed rotary falls in the same category. Although it may not matter on a rotary engine it still obeys the laws of physics just like a piston engine. Rotaries don't use a different type of special injector so there's no arguing this. It's a real life effect. Whether or not it matters on rotaries I don't know but its also the reason I don't believe in putting oil in my fuel tank. I just don't know what the exact outcome actually is so I don't mess with it. Which is why I don't condone people telling others to do it. If they want to do it then by all means it's your vehicle and your money do what you want. I expect the same respect for my view in return.

I reviewed this post and kind of came off as a my way or the highway guy when in fact I was trying to add some intelligent reasoning of why he may want to look into it before doing it. I apologize for any dickheadedness
