the Bear SG that's engine capacity... an RX-8 has an engine capacity of 1300cc but it's a rotary Wankel engine and is very powerful..
the Bear SG go google it... there is a distinctive difference between a piston engine and a wankel engine... they perform totally differently... engine capacity isn't a measure of anything
SGurl SG 2.5l and 3.0L? That sounds more like a Mazda 6. Like mentioned above the RX-8 has a 1.3L it has a very small motor because it is bi-rotor. Like RX-7. But RX-8 has no turbo available, later they're thinking about making MazdaSpeed RX-8 with super charger. The 1.3L rotor motor maks 240ps and around 215 Nm. That's really gd for a 1.3L just it has spin fast, takes a while to get to 240ps. Not as responsive. But motor is very small so RX-8 has close to 50:50 weight ratio. GO read lah oh yea, the biggest rotory motor you'll find from mazda is a 20B which they hadded another rotor making it 3, very fast motor lar
Sigmaprojects SG does a 1.5L putting out 250 ps sound economical? Or a 1.6L putting out 230ps? Here in the states was have some racing cars that only have around 2.7 liters but make 700~800 ps, really small fast cars. hey ditzy is that Kazama in your signature picture? I read he just sold the car, it was such a nice car
silv3rgal SG 1.3L is just the volume of the space of the cylinder...and since rotary works very differently from a normal conventional piston engine... you can't compare the power to displacement ratio with other piston engine cars... But it's rotary engine doesn't give as much BHP as an EVO or WRX... correct me if i'm wrong.. it only gives 231bhp?
ceecookie SG RX-8 is 1.3 rotary....215 horse for the normal version and i think there's another model with 250 horses..correct me if im wrong...WRX is 225 horsespower and evo 280 horses....but 215 is impressive for a 1.3l rotary with no forced induction...WRX and Evo have turbo Its like a small but powerful car...and to me its a touring car..saw pics of one RX8 hitting 230km/h
Sigmaprojects SG yea but, the EVO ans WRX are both boosted, the RX8 is N/A turbo the RX8 and you'll get closer to 320hp.
Kuali Baba SG The 1300cc Renesis engine had to be classified as a 2500-3000cc engine for some award due to it’s power output. Nevertheless, it won. I hope that addresses your question JJC.
mach10 SG not economical at all. My fren pump every 2-3days. it may be 1.3 but its rotary engine. consumption as good as those with 2.5-3L or somthing.
rayshaw23 SG 1.3 litre rotory engine. engine come in 2 type. normal and high spec. normal 210 hp, high spec 250 hp for jdm and 231 hp for euro. euro detune the engine to meet emission standards. high spec engine won engine of the year and best engine in its class (2.5 to 3 litre catagory). road tax pay as 1.3 litre. insurance is as a four door. pumping petrol, depending whether u heavy footed or not. please feel free to correct.
cornyfish2000 SG Road tax is calculated based on the car's engine capacity, so obviously the road tax for the RX-8 is the same as any other 1.3L car. Just that the insurance is much higher and so are the fuel bills..
