The Complete RX-8 Sohn Adapter Solution is now available! Epitroch LLC has an arrangement with Real World Solutions, Inc. to offer a bundled package/
You get both the
Sohn oil metering pump adapter AND a complete installation kit for your Mazda RX-8!
Important: Buy this "Bundled" kit if you have a Left Hand Drive RX-8
(steering wheel on port (left) side of the vehicle) and need the
sohn adapter as well as the
installation kit. If you already have purchased or installed a Sohn
adapter visit the listings for installation kits only.This version is for Left Hand Drive RX-8s that do not have headlight washers. As an RX-8 owner and rotary engine enthusiast, you are
already aware that the apex seals within your Renesis engine require
lubrication.
This is accomplished by
injecting oil into the epitrochoidal combustion chambers.
In a stock RX-8, oil is drawn directly from
the engine oil reservoir and injected into the engine by a small engine driven
pump.
The downside of this stock
approach is that dirty 4-cycle engine oil is being injected into the combustion
chamber, increasing the likelihood of carbon buildup and apex seal
failure.
Additionally, the use of
synthetic oil which would be beneficial to the rest of the engine is not
recommended since it resists combustion, further increasing the likelihood of
carbon fouling
Installation of the adapter is only half the battle. You will also need a separate reservoir to
hold the 2-stroke injection oil, a way to securely mount it within the engine
compartment and tubing to reliably deliver the oil to the adapter.
That is where Epitroch LLC comes in! We have built a one-stop shop kit to finish
the job. Our solution replaces the stock
windshield wiper fluid container with a rugged 1/8" inch thick laser-cut aluminum
backplate. Also included in the kit are two
new containers. The first is the oil
reservoir which includes an integral ¼” fitting and an industrial-quality
vented cap. The second is for windshield wiper fluid. Both are constructed of clear HDPE; extremely rugged yet clear to allow easy monitoring of fluid levels. The wiper fluid container comes pre-cut so you can easily transfer
your wiper fluid pump over and also includes a vented cap. Additionally, the kit comes with tubing
specifically formulated to resist the corrosive effects of hydrocarbon-based
fluids. It’s transparent yellow color also
provides for easy identification and flow monitoring and its operating
temperature range is -35°F to 165°F. All supporting mounting hardware is also
included.
If you have been holding off on installing an oil metering
pump adapter because of indecision over the ancillaries, your wait is over! Epitroch LLC is now able to bring you the complete end-to-end solution. There’s no excuse for not completing this important
modification when the total cost (including the adapter itself) is only about $200 and will likely keep your engine
running cleaner, longer. Also keep in
mind that your stock windshield wiper fluid container is likely worth between
$40 and $80 if you are looking to recoup some of your
expense.
