This is kind of off subject, but have any of you guys with the RX-8s thought 
of disconnecting the oil injection and just adding
oil to the gas? Seems to me the big drawback to the rotary in cars 
is that you have to burn engine oil in the combustion
chambers, which leads to all that nasty carbon buildup on the rotors 
and in the apex seal slots. Is there any way to disable the
oil injection in such a way that it could be easily switched back 
for emissions tests? Or, alternatively, could the oil
injection pump be configured in such a way as to have it's own 
2 stroke oil reservoir? Where do the injectors inject the oil? In
the rotor housing like the older engines, or in the intake tract? Just curious.

I think I will wait till after the warrantee period is over.
It is injected in the rotor housing near the edges. Two oil injectors
per rotor housing.
