Tein Street Basis-Z Coilovers for RX-8

The brand new entry level coilover from Tein has proven extremly popular.
With an even lower price then Teins Street Basis Coilover, once again Tein have delivered on price without compromising on quality.
One of the ways Tein have managed to shave the price of this kit is to utilise the OEM top mounts.

Some of the features of the new Street Basis-Z include.
Sealed Structure
The top end of the shell pipe is narrowed, oil and gas are injected, and the whole unit is sealed by crimping the metal.
This new approach massively shortens the production process. As a result, we have succeeded in vastly cutting production cost.

Thread Type Ride High Adjustment
The ride height can be adjusted by moving the lower spring seat up or down.
Characteristic of this system are its simple structure and ease of use.

Twin Tube System
Compared to the regular mono-tube system, twin-tube attains longer stroke with a smaller repulsive force, resulting in high ride comfort.
Roads may have all sorts of surface conditions. This calls for shock absorbers with ample stroke, that operate smoothly.Thanks to this unique characteristic, you can negotiate gaps and bumps steadily on rough roads, meaning a smooth ride at low speed and stability at high speed.

Use of OEM topmounts.
STREET BASIS Z use the vehicle’s original upper mounts (not included in our product kit).

High Durability and Reliability are what make the Tein Street Basis-Z a great choice if your on a budget.

Optimal Dust Boot
Thanks to its smooth compression and high durability, the dust boot guards the piston rod from damage, and keeps foreign material out of the shock absorber.
(Some vehicles use their OE dust boots)

No Sag Springs
Cold formed with SAE9254 steel (minimum tensile strength 200 kgf/mm2), our springs are outstandingly sag-proof and boast extreme resiliency.Superior rust protection is ensured with a highly durable powder coating that does not peel or flake. Our high-quality springs can be used without worries, in any conditions.

High Performance Damper Oil
Since TEIN’s damper oil maintains a stable viscosity in a broad temperature range, it sustains smooth stroke and reliable damping force in a variety of circumstances.
Due to excellent anti-foaming properties, it’s resistant to cavitation (bubble forming). Since it withstands high heat too, it’s suitable for intense sport driving as well.
Furthermore, the damper oil keeps up its superior performance long-term, because it’s resistant to deterioration over time.

Aeromotive Stealth 340 Fuel Pump for RX-8

Essex Rotary are proud to bring you the Aeromotive Stealth 340 Fuel Pump that will fit in the same location as your failing OEM pump.

The Aeromotive 340 Stealth Fuel Pump is a high-output, in-tank, electric fuel pump that fits most popular EFI applications. The Aeromotive 340 is a compact, lightweight pump that bolts into many existing hanger assemblies. (while fractionally longer then the OEM RX-8 pump this Aeromotive pump will fit)Aeromotive stealth340FuelPump270px

What sets the 340 Stealth Pump apart is its superior flow throughout a wide pressure range. Compared to other popular aftermarket pumps, at 40 psi the 340 boasts more than 340 lph. That’s over 30% more flow. This pump is ideal for applications requiring more flow while retaining the factory lines and mounting provisions available in the Original Equipment (O.E.) configuration. The 340 is also perfect for use as a universal replacement for applications that require more flow to support forced air power adders such as turbo and supercharged applications.

We have been running this pump in our own cars for a few years now with excellent results and no drop in fuel delivery.

Please note that modification of the pop off pressure valve in the pump assembly will be required to run any uprated pump on the RX-8′s fuel pot.

Essex Rotary Lightweight Under Drive 3 Pulley Kit (Ver.2) for RX-8

3 Pulley kit including replacement drive belts

Essex Rotary brings you our new lightweight under drive pulley Kit replaces all three pulleys, Main Crank Pulley plus Alternator and Water Pump Pulleys reducing the potential for Water Pump cavitation and over working of the Alternator at the high RPM ranges the Rotary Engine can operate at.

EssexRotary3pcPulleyKitColor450px

These Lightweight Pulleys are CNC machined from super light but extremely strong 6061-T6 Aluminium Alloy. reducing rotational weight from the crank and associated ancillaries will theoretically frees up horsepower normally used to turn the heavier pulleys and ancillaries (though Essex Rotary make no claim to proven HP gains when using under drive kits)

Cavitation

Cavitation is a process where by your water pump impeller acts like a “whisk” at high RPM beating air bubbles in to the coolant mixture, this process dramatically reduces coolant efficiency as the increasing cavitation effect reduces coolant flow around the engine.

Each kit comes with 2 new alternator/water pump and air conditioning drive belts made by Gates to suit your new setup as the OEM size belts will no longer fit.

This 3 piece kit has the same size water pump pulley as our 2 piece kit however the alternator pulley is slightly smaller in overall diameter.

This item is normally in stock however please allow up to 21 days for delivery of your kit if we are out of stock.

Racing Beat Lowering Springs (-25mm) for RX-8 inc R3

Racing Beat designed coil springs are suitable for street or racing applications. Designed to offer a modest reduction in ride height, these linear rate springs interchange exactly with the stock springs.

These RX-8 springs will provide a front and rear drop of approximately 25mm (1/2-inch) drop both front and rear. A modest spring rate increase of approximately 20% will provide a performance improvement without sacrificing ride quality.

Jim Mederer, Racing Beat’s co-founder and chief engineer, shares his thoughts on designing Racing Beat’s suspension springs:

“Springs are very much a matter of opinion, I adjust ride height and spring rate based more than any other thing, my taste. We won’t excessively lower a car to obtain a “look”. First, the car will hit the bump rubbers far too often and that makes the car unpredictable in its handling, also it makes it harsh and it is very hard on suspension components causing them to potentially fail. We therefore make relatively small changes in ride height, usually less than 1″, depending on the application. We adjust that based in part on what we perceive the best way of adjusting for good handling.

Our primary goal in lowering the car is handling, and from our point a view, improved appearance is a side benefit. We don’t lower the car for appearance, and then take what comes in handling. We are very cautious to not excessively lower the car such that it will cause perceived problems either in safety or unreasonable changes in ride comfort.”

This kit includes all for Lowering springs and is compatible with both the early RX-8 and the later R3

    Adaptronic e440 Select Universal ECU for S2 RX-8

    This Adaptronic ECU though not specifically designed for the S2 (R3) RX-8, is the kit to enable you to run and map on an aftermarket ECU. Each kit will include a 2 meter bare loom kit

    The 440/Select ECU is the full-featured progression of the earlier 420d model. Enhancements include more RAM for future firmware updates, faster proccessing, USB (and RS232) connectivity, a headphone jack for knock monitoring and a list of new firmware features.

    AdaptronicLogo270px

    the e440 Delect features include;

    • Built in MAP sensor to eliminate airflow meter
    • VE tuning to simplify injector upgrades
    • Easy to use software
    • Compatible with many third party dashes and devices
    • Full closed loop operation
    • Flex fuel capable
    • Compatible with NA, turbo, supercharged and individual throttle applications
    • Boost control
    • Compatible with factory CAS and ignition system
    • Piggyback configuration, leaving idle control, cruise control, stability control to the factory ECU
    • Spark split control
    • Output for air filter flap can be used for boost control
    • Control over thermo fans
    • Drives all 4 inlet flaps / valves (APV, VFAD, VDI, SSV)
    • Compatible with auto and manual cars

    Please Note that If the idle speed needs to be changed due to porting, we recommend using a reflashing tool eg MazdaEdit from Epifan.com to do this.

    Notes:

    For the RX8 Series 2 installation:
    1.If you’re doing your own tuning, we recommend replacing the front O2 sensor with a wideband lambda sensor.
    2. The factory ECU requires the airflow meter for idle control,
    3. The ECU must be wired into the factory loom. Additional components required include a long harness, 2 x 5-pni relays and an OBD interface.
    4. If the idle speed needs to be changed due to porting, we recommend using a reflashing tool eg MazdaEdit from Epifan.com to do this.
    5. If you are changing to direct fire coils or otherwise changing the ignition system, ensure that it is wired and grounded correctly. If you’re using a coil / ignitor system where the secondary is grounded, the coil ground must be grounded to the rotor housing (not the chassis). This includes LS1, LS2 and AEM coils. If you’re using an ignition coil where the secondary is connected to the positive supply (eg the Bosch 717 coils), you must have a capacitor from the ignition coil positive to the rotor housing. This is standard in factory looms, but sometimes people forget this when they wire up their own ignition systems.

    Adaptronic Plug-In Select ECU for S1 RX-8

    Standalone engine management installation has never been so easy. Now with the new Adaptronic Plug-In Select for Series 1 Mazda RX-8 can plug and play your way in to the world of standalone.

    All Adaptronic Plug-In Select ECUs are sold with a base map to get the car running, so all you have to do is plug it in to be up and running again.

    All ECUs in the Select range have an internal 4 bar MAP sensor, so you can simply run a hose from the barb on the ECU into the engine bay. You may retain the air flow meter if you wish, but MAP sensing is required for most forced-induction applications.

    Although these ECUs are plug-and-play, you still have the freedom to configure and tune the ECU as you wish, using the user-friendly WARI tuning software. Pinout tables are provided for all Plug-In Select ECUs, so you know exactly what each input and output is connected to on the engine.

    This model requires the original ECU to be left in place to control some basic functions like alternator and Throttle control as well as traction control. The Adaptronic acts as a piggy-back in this situation but the ability of the standalone is not diminished in any way.

    Racing Beat Performance Braided Oil Line Kit for RX-8 (04-08)

    Racing Beat’s fully assembled Stainless Steel Braided Hose Set replaces the original factory oil cooler hoses on the 2004-2008 RX-8, Manual Trans only. Costing much less than Mazda replacement units (over £600 for the complete Mazda set!), the Racing Beat Oil Hose sets will meet the demands of both street and race.

    Simplify your oil line system by replacing the original EIGHT (8) factory lines with the streamlined Racing Beat kit, which contains only the three (3) most critical lines – 1) engine out-to-cooler, 2) cooler-to-cooler, and 3) cooler-to-engine in.

    The Mazda factory lines combine both rigid and flexible tubing, and include ten (10) mid-hose connector fittings. Replacing this complex combination of hosing and connectors with a simplified performance-based set eliminates possible areas of leakage during racing and high output applications. As the old saying goes, “Simple is better!” Produced in-house at Racing Beat using Earl’s Auto-Flex stainless steel braid-protected synthetic rubber hose and featuring an inner liner of synthetic rubber, including partial cover of stainless steel braid embedded into the liner during manufacturing. The hose liner is then bonded to a outer protective sheath of stainless steel wire braid. Precision-machined aluminum Auto-Seal and Swivel-Seal hose ends ensure a secure and superior seal. Each line is pressure tested by Racing Beat at the end of the assembly process. Unlike earlier rotary applications, replacement of the oil lines on the RX-8 application requires substantial labor effort and is best undertaken when the engine has been removed from the vehicle. Although more challenging due to limited access, this project can be undertaken with engine in the vehicle, just allow adequate time to complete the process. With the engine in the vehicle this is an involved project that can’t be rushed!


    RacingBeatLogoShort


    It has become an increasing problem as these cars age that the factory oil lines are corroding and leaking oil, the usual point for these line to start leaking is just in front of the front wheels behind the wheel arch liners. Depending on severity of the leak this could cause anything from an engine failure due to loosing your oil to an accident as of covers your front wheels. The Racing Beat lines eliminate these points of corrosion and will not require replacement again.

    Shipped complete with all required oil lines, oil cooler adapters, engine adapters, bracket hardware, protective end caps, and fully detailed installation instructions.


    Please note

    This kit if for 2004-2008 models only and will not fit the later R3 version. a separate kit is available for this model.

    Please allow up to 14 days for delivery of these oil lines if they are not in stock in the UK.

    Racing Beat REVI Ram Duct

    Racing Beat offers their Ram Air Duct for use with the Racing Beat REVi Intake Kit. The inlet of this duct is positioned in the mouth opening of the Mazda RX-8 to allow cooler ambient air to be force-fed directly into the REVi intake tract, converting your intake into a true “cold-air” intake system!

    Designed by Racing Beat, this high-density polyethylene intake duct mounts under the nose of your RX-8 and directs air into the inlet of the REVi Intake Kit. This duct can also be used with the stock intake box or aftermarket intake kits to direct cooler air into the engine compartment.

    The installation of this duct requires the removal of the nose from the RX-8

    Racing Beat REVI Induction Kit

    Racing Beat offers their extremely popular REVi Intake System for all RX-8 applications. Designed to offer performance improvements without sacrificing drivability, the Racing Beat intake system is the final result of hundreds of hours of dyno test sessions and on-road testing.

    The major components of the REVi Intake System include: an OEM style air box assembly, custom-designed K&N air filter unit, aluminum mass air flow sensor tube, and a tuned-length air inlet horn. Unlike many of the aftermarket intake systems on the market, the Racing Beat intake system retains one of the important mesh screens to aid with the even distribution of airflow across the mass air sensor. The inclusion of this screen minimizes the possibility of “rough idle” issues that may occur if both stock screens are eliminated.

    Working with the design team at K&N Engineering, a high capacity air filter was developed that allowed us to position a tuned-length intake horn inside the filter body. This filter design allowed us to fine-tune the length of the air horn to maximize the performance potential. We have noted that many aftermarket intake systems for the RX-8 incorporate a large air filter, which is then connected to the intake manifold with a length of plastic or metal tubing. In many cases, the size of the filter that has been selected will dictate the length of tubing required, severely limiting the critical tuning importance of the air intake tube!

    HKS Hybrid Oil Filter with Neodymium Magnet

    The filter with integral Neodymium Magnet technology inside

    A new concept oil filter which improves oil pressure drop and flow properties by approximately 30% compared to current sports oil filters. Large diameter of “Super Intake Hole” and newly developed low resistance hybrid filter allow low pressure loss. Engine response is alos improved by reducing the stress on the engine.

    Most sports oil filters are prerequisite for using the high viscosity oil and therefore filter paper strength is prioritized whilst sacrificing absolute pressure loss properties. HKS Hybrid Sports Oil Filter has readdressed filter strength and overall structure to provide the oil flow that the engine requires and pursue HKS’ ideals in what is required from a sports oil filter.

    High Flow RX-8 Panel Filter by K&N

    This drop in in air filter from K&N is designed to last the lifetime of your car.

    It will never need replacing, unlike the standard air intake filters, and will only need washing and re-oiling (every 50’000miles maximum). For what is roughly double the price of a normal Air filter you can get better air flow and a reusable filter.

    The other upside to this is that if your unlucky enough to overfill your oil (on early cars) it would have been blown up in to your intake and contaminate your air filter with oil, Possibly leading to some of the following symptoms:

    • Rough Idle
    • Smoke from exhaust
    • Stalling
    • MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor contamination

    An excellent addition to any service plan. Ask about the K&N panel filter when you book your next service

    MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor HT Lead Set for RX-8 (Special Intro Offer)

    Normal Price £64.99
    Special Introductory Price normally £69.99

    Made to order right here at Essex Rotary using all MSD Components.

    The MSD 8.5 mm Super Conductor wire is the performance wire engineered from the inside out, the 8.5mm offers everything you have ever wanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 In. length of Super Conductor wire there is only 40 to 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire. To accomplish this, MSD use a copper alloy conductor due to it’s great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss of spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight, that there is over 40 Ft. of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective electro magnetic interference (EMI) choke.

    • Copper alloy conductor has a resistance value of less than 50 ohms per foot for superior spark
    • Ferro-magnetic impregnated core creates an effective EMI choke
    • Forty feet of conductor is wound into a single foot of wire for high EMI suppression
    • Conductor core features Dupont Kevlar material for increased tensile strength
    • Durable outer sleeve is a proprietary compound for resistance to high heat or abrasion
    • Stainless steel terminals feature dual crimp tabs to grip wire conductor and outer jacket separately

    These MSD HT Leads are made to order right here at Essex Rotary HQ, from genuine MSD components. Available in Red or Black cable options (select your preferred color fron the drop down menu before hitting the “add to cart” button.

    Genuine Mazda Ignition Coil Pack Set for RX-8

    Set of 4 genuine Mazda Ignition coils for your Mazda RX8

    These are the latest generation “C” packs that Mazda has released, Anyone that knows about the RX8 can tell you that the ignition coils have proven to be a weak point in a great car.

    Many enthusiasts will change these out every 30’000 mile intervals (maximum) as a preventative measure.
    We can offer these Genuine Mazda parts at a fraction of the price you would pay at a dealers.

    As a warning… Do no compromise on coils packs, as a specialist we have seen many cars that have had pattern coils fitted to solve a problems that is still there. Only accept Genuine Coils Packs.

    Racing Beat REV8 Twin Tip Cat-back System for R3

    The Racing Beat REV8 “Street Legal”, Cat-Back RX-8 Exhaust System (Twin Outlet Tips) is the perfect replacement for your stock exhaust – a durable assembly offering a real horsepower gain over your stock unit. Our RX-8 exhaust system consists of a 304 stainless steel Racing Beat connecting-pipe, muffler canisters, tubing, flanges, and outlet tips. The replacement connecting-pipe is manufactured using 3-inch (OD) tubing and features cast stainless steel flanges for positive exhaust gas sealing.

    RacingBeatREV8R3Twin350px

    Twin Tips:
    The REV8 Exhaust system will certainly stand out from the crowd with its distinctive twin tip outlet design!

    A first of its kind offering for the RX-8, these highly polished stainless steel tips offer a welcome change from the standard single tip design and provide a well-balanced look to the rear of the RX-8.

    Mirroring the design of the new-for-2009 tail light assembly, the twin tips provide a symmetrical balance from rear facing angles, and maximizes the exhaust openings in the bumper.

    (2009+ RX-8 exhaust systems differ with regards to the positioning of the outlet tips and are NOT compatible with earlier 2004-08 RX-8 models, without modification to the Series 1 exhaust shrouds)

    Racing Beat Stainless Tubular Exhaust Manifold for RX-8

    Fits 192ps, 231ps, R3 and JDM Imports

    The Racing Beat RX-8 manifold is constructed using 100% stainless steel for superior quality, performance and appearance. Exclusive cast stainless-steel mounting flange has been designed to allow the smooth transition of the exhaust gas flow from the engine to the primary tubing. Incorporated into the flange design are critical emission control air passages that were included on the OEM flange design.

    RacingBeatLogoShort

    These small passages allow air to be pumped into the exhaust ports to aid in more efficient catalytic converter function.

    The Racing Beat manifold does not remove any catalytic converters, and is equipped with an oxygen sensor fitting and retains all emissions control functionality.

    The Racing Beat Manifold utilizes 1.75” OD, 14 gauge (.083″), mandrel-bent, 304 stainless steel tubing and features an exclusive Racing Beat engine-to-header flange. All required mounting hardware, an outlet gasket, and instructions are included.

    RacingBeatRX8Header

    A engine-to-manifold gasket is NOT supplied with the kit, but the stock unit can be re-used unless it shows signs or damage, leakage, or extended wear.

    Please allow 7-21 days for delivery of this item depending on stock availability

    Black Halo Racing Ignition Upgrade Kit for RX-8 inc Spark Plugs

    GENUINE BHR PARTS ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
    The kit that spawned a thousand “D585 Coil Kit” COPIES….!

    NGKIridium
    This Package Includes a set of Genuine NGK Iridium spark Plugs (as recommended by BHR) at a large discount
    SAVE £25.00 Compared to buying BHR Coils and Plugs Separately

    3 Colors Available:

    • Red with Red HT Leads
    • Blue with Blue HT Leads
    • Silver with Black Ht Leads

    BlackHaloRacingIgnitionKitRX8AllColors300px
    It is widely known that the ignition coils on the Mazda RX-8 are weak and suffer from reliability issues, even on unmodified engines, as early as 30,000 miles and weak ignition coils eventually result in failure of the exhaust catalyst and/or long-term engine damage. With forced induction, nitrous oxide use, or any kind of track racing you need to have an ignition system that is more reliable and with higher voltage/current output than the OEM system.

    The Black Halo Racing Ignition system is designed for purposes of improving the reliability and drivability of the RX8 as well as a modest but noticeable increase in power. This ignition upgrade is NOT designed to resolve problems with your engine/car as a result of mechanical failure, so please be sure your engine is mechanically in proper operating condition before purchasing..

    This ignition system is likely the most popular product ever offered for the Mazda RX-8 and it’s popularity continues to rise…… probably because this is the ONLY ignition system for the Mazda RX-8 which retains over 80% of it’s value in the resale market! Do not be misled by imitation/”copycat” systems other retailers may try to sell you as many of them do not include everything needed for a proper installation.

    Typical benefits reported by those whom have purchased this kit are quicker start-ups, better throttle response, more midrange torque, smoother engine sound/operation above 7,000 RPMs, and no more misfires. All this applies to power-adder (nitrous or F/I) applications, as well, and all models of the Mazda RX-8.The Black Halo Racing Ignition System addresses these concerns in a very simple manner. The coil conversion wiring harness allows a true “plug-and-play” installation that doesn’t require you to cut, splice, or otherwise alter any wiring in your RX8. The ignition coils used emit more current and voltage than the RX-8/OEM ignition coils and provide much longer life over the stock and most aftermarket systems. They are used in many racing applications, rival any coil in the aftermarket, and this system renders any additional/external ignition hardware unnecessary. The kit mounts in the exact same location as the OEM coils and fits all models/years of the RX-8. Do not wait until problems arise before making improvements to your ignition system.

    The pre-assembled kit contains a baseplate, coil brackets, ignition coils, a plug-and-play conversion harness, and custom-built MSD or Moroso spark plug wires. It also includes a 3-year warranty on all parts, materials, and workmanship.

    RE-Amemiya D1-Spec Short Shifter for FD3s and RX-8 5MT

    The RE-Amemiya D1-Spec Short Shifter will fit both the Mazda RX-7-FD3S and Mazda RX-8 equipped with 5 speed Transmission. The shifter is a plug and play application that effectively reduces the stroke by 5mm between gears while also ‘solidly’ engaging the gears, this may not sound like a lot but it makes a big difference.

    Shifting will be smoother with the upgraded brass collar compared to the OEM plastic collar and many owners report that they no longer miss gear changes during spirited driving.

    This is the same part as used on the RE-Amemiya RX-7 D1GP cars.

    Do note these are to fit the 5MT only and will not fit 6 speed MT equipped RX-8.

    In Stock and ready for UK dispatch.
