So far, I love the engineering behind the Renesis; but I guess it's to be expected. It almost seems that Mazda built this with the idea they would be serviced regularly!
Today, I only had about an hour, but I got some more taken off and snapped some more pics. My goal is to remove the lower intake manifold, fuel rail, secondary injectors and all as one big chunk. This motor is super clean and only has 40K. The o-rings and gaskets are still good - no point risking corrupting them.
I discovered today also that it would appear if you swap the pulley, an RX8 alternator will swap right onto an FB (1979-1985 RX7). Some modification to the wiring harness and shave about 1-2mm off the spacer and she should fit just fine! Check out the pics (2004 RX8 Alt mounted to 1985 12A):
Keep in mind the alt wasn't fully adjusted, but you should be able to clear the connectors, etc.
Here are the pics of today's progress:

Turbocharger apps can be categorized according to those which need changes in outcome energy (such as automotive) and those which do not (such as sea, planes, professional automobile, business, locomotives).
