Boys and girls, today I had a complete automatic transmission RX-8

engine

with 2000 KM and all the accessories, at my hangar. What a beautiful

engine.

It would have made my installation much simpler. But since I have

all

this

years and lots of money invested in my Cosmo, I decided to pass on

the

RX-8

since will take me another year to convert to the new engine. Soooo,

(tears

in my eyes) the RX-8 will go on Ebay with starting bid of $3600.
Hope I'm not sorry in the morning?

Nah you don't want an RX8 auto TX engine. Big intake ports are

missing.

There is only one intake port in each end housing instead of two.

Just as I thought, that Renesis auto tx engine uses the same reduced
starter with the big plate that straddles the rear end housing and the
tranny bellhousing. As in the Cosmo 3 rotor (all were automatic) and
13BREW tt auto models from 1993-1995. They must be doing something right
with that for some reason. Does anyone know if Mazda uses this same
arrangement on any of their other models with an automatic transmission?
