I bought this engine with 44,000 miles from a large salvage dearler in Texas.  Up till this time I had never seen, heard or touched one.  Most of my internet research has been on pre-2004 engines.  Not alot of info on the Renesis engine that I can find.

I want to convert this 2006 auto engine over for aircraft use.  What is the best mounting system ?  I'm looking at a Van's RV aircraft for mounting.

What sensors can I save and use ?  Most of the wires have been cut.  The intake system is still on the engine.  No exhaust.

Are there any manuals available besides Mazda ?  They want $150 for their's.  That's too much for me.

Thanks for any help.  I'm sure to have more questions later.  Just want to get it running.

Jim, first thing is read the web site below.

You can get the RX8 manuals from this site.

Save all the sensors.

Also search youtube for my name with a 2.
In other words "PaulLamar2"

We have some motor mounts for all RV's so we will need to know
which RV you are interested in. The two rotor is good for just
about any except perhaps the RV10. That would work best with a 3 rotor.
