This is interesting. Four apex seal oil injectors.
In another picture the lines look like they are steel instead of nylon.
Its about time. More engines died from cracked and brittle
plastic apex seal oil injector lines than from all other reasons alone.
The little  air assist rubber hoses can be got to and replaced
as needed.

Another neat thing is all the fuel injectors seem to be in one
line so one fuel rail can be used simplifying the fuel system.
Good news.

Interesting indeed!  I guess the twin oil injectors more evenly distribute
the oil over the width of the apex seal.  Another advantage of the side
exhaust ports is that the apex seal is no longer subjected to the blast of
the exhaust gases when the port opens.  Should run cooler.

I was eyeballing that lower intake manifold too! It would make a very nice
starting point for an aircraft intake.  This RX8 is turning out to be the
answer to a rotor heads' prayers :-)

Now all you have to do is follow through and make a 2.85 to one ReDrive :-)>
