Oil injection hole... Put to good use?

[sen2two]

It always turns into a debate...

2 stroke oil is different than motor oil.

2 cycle oil also has a much lower ash content. This lower ash content is necessary to minimize deposits of sludge and grit that form if there is ash present in the oil which is burned in the engine’s combustion chamber.

Both of which is why I run the OMP adapter. But that is neither here nor there in this discussion lol.

I'm sorry I just can't let the oil injection thing slide anymore.

Go look up the term "specific gravity" in reguards to liquids. Then tell me if you think oil should be injected through fuel injectors. Even different fuels flow at different rates though the same injector. I doubt oil gets through very easily. I'd love to see how much oil is just in people's fuel tanks after premixing for long periods of time. I would guess there is more oil then there should be as far as the "magic" ratio goes. Just use the OMP they work fine. Hell even my electronic one works fine all the time. Yes I've checked it multiple times to be sure.

I'm sorry everyone's assumption that the OMPs don't work right is incorrect.

I doubt it's worth mentioning on a rotary but oil de-octanes fuel pretty good as well. You want as little as possible to get the lubrication done.


A good use for the oil injector hole is to hold an oil injector. If you don't like that answer then use it to inject meth, N2O, water, propane, LPG, HHO, straight hydrogen or whatever other fuel type you like. Yes water can be used as well. Methenol will cool the charge even that close to the combustion.

Sorry for this outburst I hate premixing.

This may be true but I dont have to worry about that since I'm carbed.

Not true, well at least for me. I've been pre-mixing since I built my motor in 04 and have checked my tank periodically in between different fuel delivery modifications I have done and have specifically looked for just that.

Just use the OMP they work fine. Hell even my electronic one works fine all the time. Yes I've checked it multiple times to be sure.

Yes the OMPs may rarely fail but there are other reasons why some pre-mix. A lot of people use both, one reason being lack of lubrication during deceleration. Also it is not uncommon for electronic OMPs to fail without warning, Ive seen it. I would venture to say that a lot of S5 & 6 owners do it for peace of mind.

I'm sorry everyone's assumption that the OMPs don't work right is incorrect.

I have a working OMP, I just dont like the idea of injecting motor oil into the combustion chamber, which is why I modified mine to accept 2-stroke. I still pre-mix too.

I agree with you on this, I just want to state that there are reasons why some either delete OMPs or add to the tank alongside a working OMP

I use the OMP and a rotary aviation adapter to run 2 stroke as well. Why bother with the tank? What kind of decelerating do you do? The pedal on the right makes you go fast. The middle pedal is just a suggestion you don't have to use it lol!!!

If your carbed then specific gravity probably won't apply but most people are fuel injected and do that which makes no sense. I think it's a hold over from the carbed days.

Have you ever run across any info involving rotary's and de-octaning fuel due to oil? I haven't yet but it can make or break a piston motor. Poor little pistons always trying to explode.....that's cute lol! I do know it's really hard to get detonation on NA Rotaries so maybe the oil de-octaning just falls in the category and does hardly ever occur.

How about hp tests? I wonder at what point you lose hp due to exsessive oil? It probably has never been tested for.

LOL, downshifting and any other closed throttle condition where the RPMs are still above idle, very minimal wear (if any) but its just a concern I have. I dont race BTW, just a very spirited driver

I'd say as long as the ratio isn't as high as a WeedEater's 40:1 it would go unnoticed

PREMIX is designed to be mixed with gasoline.
For the record, I have no measured specific gravity of clean gasoline versus gasoline + premix, but I doubt it has significant affect on it enough to throw off fuel mixtures.
I run a Haltech so I don't care - I can adjust my fuel delivery at any time with relative ease.
Why don't we all convert to standalone EMS' and this would not be a problem.
Prior to the Haltech E8 going in, I was running a rechipped ECU with no problems.
If you're worried about premix and suspension in gas...
I've had my car sitting for 2 years+ at one point; the premix was still fully mixed and suspensed in the gas tank.
In fact, the car started, ran, and almost 300 miles from Las Vegas, NV to Los Angeles, CA, once a new battery and alternator was installed.

The "magic" ratio has been scientifically concluded from Mazda.
It's all written up in SAE papers.

No one said the stock oil injectors doesn't work.
My point is that there's a better way.

I'm sorry everyone's assumption that the OMPs don't work right is incorrect.

Read above.

Premix is DESIGNED to be burned.
Engine motor oil isn't.
You just farted on yourself.

Sorry for this outburst I hate premixing.

You should've just said that in the first place and leave it at that.
You trying to argue your point makes you look stupid.

My car has also sat for long periods with no noticable difference in the premix. I've also been premixing for 8 years and the premix hasn't magically built up in the tank.

Sorry, Rotary Related is an idiot.

He has no idea what "offset" is: http://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_...ead.php?t=1828

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
