Very interesting to hear about the pre-cut sideseals on RX8 rotors - learning something new every day! Following this series with interest.

Hello Kyle. I'm about to start my 13b Hybrid turbo project. Amazing information you are giving us. You save us a lot of headaches. Thank you!

Thanks for the info! I think the street port is a good choice. I bet it'll sound amazing!

Thanks, and yes. The last one had a cool sound. Hope this one does as well.

Awesome build series. Would love to hear more about what led you to the choice on intake port. How would a build like this do if you used your bridgeport like you have scribed on the iron.
@KyleMohanRacing2 жыл бұрын
Generally I think street ports are the most drivable and easiest to maintain. And in this configuration with the hybrid exhaust it will sound unique. When you go to a Bridgeport or a semi peripheral port you get that great brap sound but it also removes a lot of low and power making the motor a very peak oriented horsepower motor I like strong mid range. This is just a starting point maybe we can bridge portrait later and see how it does.

HOW MUCH PSI ARE YOU RUNING SINCE YOU HAVE THE RX8 ROTORS

Thanks again Kyle. Looking good! Will a street port have a little overlap? Or no braps?
@KyleMohanRacing2 жыл бұрын
It will have more brap than a stock rx8. But not like a bridge. Only Bridgeports and portfolio reports get that really hard wrap is brap the people liked to hear. However I think the street port hybrid configuration has its own unique tone.

You mentioned in a previous video that hybrid motors would require a standalone ecu. Would the stock ecu not work for naturally aspirated applications?
@KyleMohanRacing2 жыл бұрын
I dont think the oem ecu will support the build but I have never tried it.

Questions, Are side seals marked for slots R,S,T,U longer than side seal for slots F,G,H,I? On the RX8

Kyle do you run the front and rear 6th port actuators? I'm building one of these and in the porting stage, I was thinking maybe disconnect them from the intake and pin them wide open in the ports so they have have better flow. I just feel like if I removed them completely and not use them there will be alot of turbulence because of that pocket at the bottom of the port.

I want to do this when I buy another rx8. I looked into it before but never had the funds nor knowledge. Thank you so much for all these videos. Also, what transmission do you run on these?

Could you please provide the part number for the race bearings?
@KyleMohanRacing2 жыл бұрын
I will try to supply the part number but if you just check Mazdatrix and look up race rotor bearings it should come up

Is there an aftermarket rx8 apex seal that can handle the peripheral exhaust or do the the rotors have to be cut to except a bigger rx7 seal? I know the beam strength suffers in rx8 seal overtime due to the design but would a aftermarket seal remedy this problem just looking at cheaper options when I build my hybrid?
@KyleMohanRacing2 жыл бұрын
Nope, have to go RX7 hight seal. Check out some of the previous videos
