A complete Right Hand Drive (RHD) RX-8 Sohn Adapter Solution is now available! UK, Australia, Japan Mazda RX-8s can now join in! Important: Buy this kit if you have a Right Hand Drive RX-8 (steering wheel on starboard (right) 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 RHD installation kits only.This version is for Right Hand Drive RX-8s that have headlight washers. (Version "231")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! As an RX-8 owner and rotary engine enthusiast, you arealready aware that the apex seals within your Renesis engine requirelubrication. This is accomplished byinjecting oil into the epitrochoidal combustion chambers. In a stock RX-8, oil is drawn directly fromthe engine oil reservoir and injected into the engine by a small engine drivenpump. The downside of this stockapproach is that dirty 4-cycle engine oil is being injected into the combustionchamber, increasing the likelihood of carbon buildup and apex sealfailure. Additionally, the use ofsynthetic oil which would be beneficial to the rest of the engine is notrecommended since it resists combustion, further increasing the likelihood ofcarbon fouling
Installation of the adpater is only half the battle. You will also need a separate reservoir tohold the 2-stroke injection oil, a way to securely mount it within the enginecompartment 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 finishthe job for Right Hand Drive Vehicles. Our solution replaces the stockwindshield wiper fluid container with a rugged 1/8" inch thick laser-cut aluminumbackplate. Also included in the kit are twonew containers. The first is the oilreservoir which includes an integral ¼” fitting and an industrial-qualityvented 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 transferyour wiper fluid pumps over and also includes a vented cap. Additionally, the kit comes with tubingspecifically formulated to resist the corrosive effects of hydrocarbon-basedfluids. It’s transparent yellow color alsoprovides for easy identification and flow monitoring and its operatingtemperature range is -35°F to 165°F ( -37°C to 73.9°C). All supporting mounting hardware is alsoincluded.
If you have been holding off on installing an oil meteringpump 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 importantmodification.
