Because RX stands for Rotary Experiment. Its a experiment number 8.
The Mazda RX-8 is a rotary engine, it has no cylinders. The Mazda RX-8 has a single TWO-rotor engine. Cylinders are only for piston engines. The RX-8 is a 1.3 Liter Rotary. (No I4 or V6) Just Rotary.
Not all of the Mazdas have had the rotary engine, but only the RX model
The ROTARY engine is the best engine that Mazda made. It is still in use in the RX 8s
no, the ONLY cars with rotary engines have RX in there name.
The RX stands for Rotary eXperiment. As you may know, the Mazda RX series of vehicles are not powered by conventional piston engines like 99% of all other vehicles on the road. Instead, they are powered by a rotary engine, also known as a Wankel engine.
A rotary engine. Used mostly in Mazda cars like the RX-7.
Mazda Cosmo, Rx-7, RX-8 Citroen MS35 Soviet AvtoVAZ
The Rotary Engine, used by Mazda in production cars such as the RX-7
A rx-8 is a rotary powered sports car made by mazda. they are the successor of the rx-7. the rotary engine is the only internal combustion engine that does not have any pistons. it is 1.3 liter, but 250+ hp i do believe. it revs very high, but has good torque and is all around a good car. you will be surprised when you see a rotary then feel the power.
No. It is, however, a reciprocating 4 cylinder, water-cooled 4-cycle (Otto cycle - spark ignition) piston motor. From the 1980's, the Mazda rotary (nee Wankel) engine has only been available in the RX- series (RX : Rotary Experimental). There currently exists a JDM rotary engine hybrid Mazda5 model, leased in very small numbers for research purposes.
If you are looking into how a rotary engine works go here: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm This will also explain the fuel injection part of the engine, I think this is what you are looking for.
No, they are to totaly different cars. The RX-7 has a Rotary engine so 99% of the parts are going to be different than any other car on the market.
