I have no clue if they are out of business or not. I hope they aren't :/

Their website is still up so someone is paying the hosting fees...

That "quick spool" valve won't work on a 13B. It will actually make it worse.

I think he's putting it on the up-coming 20B engine. I could see it benefiting a 20B setup. But you're right, fully divided 13b manifolds yield better spool, well at least according to Mazda's research

Did you ever get a video or dyno chart of the 500whp set up on the Renesis?

I really like the placement of your air to water IC in the engine bay from the previous pics. Am currently doing an a2w setup on a RX-8 and have been contemplating where to mount the IC...though one thought has been to incorporate it into a custom UIM.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your 3 rotor build.

Oh well...

Basically, Got married, started business full time (an therefore quit my day job)...enough time went by without my car that I decided to do a Cosmo 13B-RE conversion instead of the 20B to get it on the road so I can drive the freaking thing. I don't have the time to fab up the 20b conversion and the 13b-re is pretty much a "drop in" by comparison...

Because it is no longer a 20B build you can follow my new build thread here:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...9#post10987359

Thanks for looking!

Chris
