Well, I blew my motor a month ago, and I'm starting to collect parts for the rebuild, Renesis stat gears from the GT with the multi Window bearings.



I'm curious what the Renesis oil pressure regulator is rated at, I am assuming it would work but I'm not sure, curious if anyone has used one. I know the REW is 110psi, and not too expensive, but the Renesis parts are much cheaper because they are in production.



Thanks



Kevin

The Fd regulator is only 30 bux,..

Check again. Last one I used for a customer their price from me was $33. My price usually ends up being real close to what it'd cost anyone else from a dealer. Mazdatrix price is $36. Mazdaspeed price is only $1.50 more than the RX-8 regulator.

i just looked up the rx8 regulator, it uses the 3648-14-250 ($31.70) which is the number they show for everything except the FD.
