Shame on you Mazda!!! During , there were numerous reports of RX-8 engine failure. Soon, the reputation of the engines was beginning to take shape. It was basically an engine that could only last for many owners up to 30, miles. Many Mazda owners were experiencing issues such as power loss. So, they would try to fix the issue by changing their spark plugs, but the problem was still there. Then, the Mazda owners would take the cars to dealerships.
While many dealers could not find issues, some would recommend a full engine replacement. Then years later, Mazda started taking note of ignition coils that were failing right around the 30,mile mark. While nothing significant was etched in stone, lots of Mazda owners and third-party mechanics decided that the Rx8 rotary engine was experiencing lots of engine failure, due to ignition coil failure.
But it was not just ignition coils, but a combination of other issues. As we outlined previously, there are four reasons that the rotary engines are horrible engines:. Mazda introduced the RX-8 in and put that rotary engine back into circulation within the car market once again. How much does it cost to replace a Mazda RX8 engine?
How much does it cost to rebuild a Mazda RX8 engine? When should I rebuild my RX8 engine? How many miles does a rotary engine last? Is a Celica a Supra?
If you mean typical import, most parts will be comparable in cost but rotary specific parts will be higher in cost. Rebuilding a Wankel at miles is typical, and earlier than most piston engine need such exhaustive work. Rotary engines have a low thermal efficiency as a result of a long combustion chamber and unburnt fuel making it to the exhaust.
It has a great engine, it makes a good noise and it is one of the easiest cool sports cars to drive fast! You can push it to the limit and it will fight back. The guy who was running Mazda used to race cars, and it kinda shows this is actually one of the top sports coupes!
As for only occasionally changing the oil, the Mazda rotary engine injects engine oil into the combustion chamber to help lubricate the rotors and apex seals. Same way as with any other engine. Most of them might be too fast and too powerful for American roads, so the government made them illegal to purchase and own.
There are some advantages to rotary engines.
