RX7 Rotor Bearins on Renisis E-Shaft?
Can you use S4/S5/S6 Rotor Bearings on the Renisis E-shaft?
Or do you have to use Renisis Bearings, and if you do do RX8 Rotor bearings fit in S4/S4/S6 rotors? |
I think they're all the same.
|
As long as the clearances are right, there should be no problem.
I built an 89 Turbo motor using RX-8 stationary gears and e-shaft with the 89 Turbo rotors and bearings. |
Did you have any issue w/ the lack of sealing o-ring on the Rx8 rear stationary gear?

B and still has no oil leaks at the sealing o-ring.. we just put RTV there and it seemed to work fine. |
Yeah, you have to port match the oil feed hole on the rear stat gear to line up with the oil filter feed in the rear iron, then put a nice bead of high temp silicon around the base of the stat gear where the o-ring normally goes.
Never had a problem so far, and I've put together quite a few of them like this. |
Dumb question: what is the advantage of using the Renesis stationary gear over the original one? Stronger? Lighter? Or??

man y do u need rtv. if its built right then u shouldnt need it
|
Its not built in, thats the problem.
The older stationary gears have a small o-ring around the base of them where they mount to the rear iron. The new Renisis stat gear doesn't have anything, just a machined flat surface, so RTV sealant of some kind is needed with use of the older irons. |
Could you just machine the grove into the rx8 stat gears? Seems like that would be pretty easy.
|
Sure but not everyone has access to a lathe to do such a thing. Its definatly possible tho.
|
Did you have to rebalance the engines with the RX-8 eshaft? I wasn't going to worry about it because I could do it at work but I got fired on Friday, so no longer have personal access to the machinery.

-Bug set screws and windowed bearing, hardened gear did I say price. heres some info on the eshaft RX-8 Shaft These shafts are .6lbs. lighter than the earlier 13B shafts. The main journal diameters are approximately one-half thou smaller, and there is a one-half thou taper in the rear main journal. |

Yeah, RX-8 e-shaft has a tapered rear journal like the MFR race e-shafts so you don't have to taper clearance the rear half of the rear stat gear bearing for high rpm duty like when using earlier standard e-shafts.
|
When I measured my RX-8 eshaft it had the same taper on both the front and rear journal.
