The rx8 is dimensionally similar to the FD shaft, which are staggered bearing designs. In truth most turbo motors power peak is so far below the reasoning for the rx8 stuff, the cost benefit difference really doesnt make it add up.. The RX8 gears arent any stronger than what its in an FC block..
can you explain this enough to give me a mental picture? even better, do you have any pictures of either the FD or the FE shafts? I'd just like to see what is staggered and also, the benefit/reasoning behind it.



Thanks.

Nope.hehe..

OK I will give it up...

13b/20b mazda sports kit rotor.. 4000 g, 9.4 compression, 3mm groove for carbons. Produced during the 90's and floating around Japan in the odd used parts store, usually without the required counterweights. This was the rotor produced for the mazda sport kit PP engine that was availabe to the public in 309 ps for 13b and 450ps for 20b forms. The rotors were also available seperately.

zry1-11-b10a listing says "rotor gear secured with snap ring, light weight rotor for 13b engines, 3750gm" then as a footnote it says "using 20b lightweight rotors in the 13b engine requires 13b rotor bearing (zry1-11-b21) and rebalancing the whole rotating assembly"



nla here, dealer cost is 1693.05 each

bargain.....Wonder why the weight difference, unless they shed another 250 g from when my book was printed? I just found another set of rotors that are odd ,7.5:1 and 8.3:1..
