Paul, What is the max torque that the RX8 puts out?  Just have to test my rubber coupling to see if I can destroy it.  Neil.


P-port average 200 foot pounds but it is a pulse. Peak near 400 foot pounds
with a valley near zero. There is a heat issue so if your using rubber
use silicone rubber. Higher on a turbo depending on peak power.

Send me a sketch or dwg of what you have in mind.

I have some steel parts in stock for this rubber coupling.

BTW Randy, I can send you a complete set of these un welded steel parts.
You might want to do the billet version.

This is based on months and months of work after Tracy's torque isolator experienced
stock Mazda flex plate cracking with the higher power versions of the rotary.
