Hey MVA, I'm trying to understand this the best I can. So are telling me that the stock 20b oil pan and manifold is the reason the steering rack is moved (like on Pettit's conversions)? I have always wanted a 3rotor conversion but the bump steer you get has always scared me! Also I have considerd the Peter Farrell conversion but, I hate the location of the stick shift lever.

 

I've got a couple questions MVA, I currently using the Pettit subframe, can you oil pan still be used to eliminate the bumpsteer with their subframe, also if you have any pictures of the intake manifold and oil pan, I am VERY INTEREST'D in seeing and possibly buying them

 

Yes, you can't install the 3 rotor with it's oil pan in the FD sub-frame. So you have to change it to fit the 3 rotor oild pan. And by doing that you will have to change the steering rack and the spindle and everything else.. We did Alot of R&D after doing conversion over and over again. And we have designed a Billect oil pan, for the 3 rotor that fits perfect in the FD subframe. And by doing that the 3 rotor bolt on exactly were the 2 rotor goes,. so you will not have to change the steering rack nor the spindle. Keeping the factory Suspension in stock, Give you no BUMP STEER. However is not just the oil pan, There also a Billet motor mount for the 20b. And couple of other tricks.

 

Okay now you really got me interest'd, no chance you only selling the parts to fit on the 13b subframe

 

Well, by January time frame you will see some definate results.

I have had some lengthy conversations with Marcos and team, and they are a reputable shop.

My project with MVA will be starting in a week or so, and I will have constant updates to keep everyone informed. We will be doing a custom 20B setup in my 3rd gen.

Be looking in the future of Turbo, or other nifty magazines with my beast!

I could sure use one of those oil pans on my FC 20B, and so could just about everyone else who already has a 20B. So far it looks like a custom sway bar is going to cost me over $550, and I have a perfectly good Mazda Motorsports sway bar that's on my friend's car because I can't use it.

BTW, I realize that a dry sump is the best way to go for road racing, but is the "secret" component going to work well on a road race car with lateral loads, or is it more for drag racing with longitudional loads?

 

I agree with Evil, I would be interested in the oil pan,
if it's priced appropriately, count me in for that part!

Well. It all depends what type of road racing you are doing. I built motors for road racing cars, All my Road racing engine have Dry sump. Oil Pan are better for drag racing and street cars.

 

MVA did you get the PM I sent you

 

I'm Still trying to finish the Billet Oil pan for the fc. I have them ready for the FD but not for the FC. Probally in another month or so.

 

Can I get a number to your shop so we can talk about the 3rotor conversion

 

I sent you a PM of their Shop.

Speak to Marcos or Andrew.

Mike

 

Thankx

 

My number is 201-488-5111

 

Just ask for Me, Marcos Acosta, Andrew is just goin to pass you to me anyway. ok

 

Good things happen to those who wait. MVA, you most definately will be getting my future business.

 

Oh and one more thing, Do us all a favor and come up with a design for the RX8 I would love reek some havock on some unsuspecting viper

 

Hey what turbo you going to use, what FMIC, Down pipe, what kind of port will the motor have, what size injectors??

 

Anyone who wants full detail on what the conversion brings, Call @201-488-5111 and ask for marcos, Jr. On the Rx-8 Well starting Feb we will start making a turbo kit for the factory engine and a 3 rotor conversion also.

 

ALSO, Guys anyone who PM's me, If i dont reply back, I'm sorry i have tons of PM's to respond too. You can reach me at 201-488-5111 thank you

 

You legends!!! Will the 3 rotor be a renasis engine??

Do you have a web site where I can check out your other goodies - you seem like real innovators!

Cheers

 

I think it'll be a 20B, unless he's figured out a weigh to add another rotor to the Renesis (I'd like to see that!).

 

Guys, there's really nothing new on the renesis engine, Except the ports that the motor comes with. Those ports are something we have been doing for road racing cars, for years,. I mean there is couple of changes here and there, but not something of another world

 

dear mva so would you guys sell the peices to fo the kit ourselves like the oil pan etc. etc. you would get alot of business im sure

 

sounds good, I might be interested towards the end of next year when I can buy it cash. However, I'd like to make SURE that there's not going to be any bump steer or mixed up handling issues due to relocating steering systems or engine cradles or suspension or whatever. By the way it's going in my FC.

One other question, do you offer a dry-sump oil system?
