Anyone got pictures of the RENESIS yet?
 

I'm really looking for the port side of the engine so that I can see how they setup up the 4 side ports (2 per rotor obviously). Apparently it will eliminate (0%) the overlap between exhaust and intake...so if that's so I WANT IT NOW! I like the sleeves that are available, but I want the ports from the RENESIS which are more efficient (not to say that the sleeves aren't but you know what I mean). So lets see those pics...

i have a picture

Now thats a fuckin peace of art.

Good luck getting one! Why don't you just buy the whole engine when it comes out?

Hey car13
 

Where did you take that picture?

That picture is beautiful! The engine looks so much easier to work on than an FC's. It looks like you can get to the injectors without taking off the whole manifold. Whay did Mazda not think of this before!

am I an idiot or what? It looks like that's a three rotor. looks like three sets of intake runners and three exhaust ports merging. Did they change the exhaust ports and they're just collecting them from two rotors like that, or is that a pic of a three rotor?

I noticed the same thing... maybe side exhaust ports? but the center exhaust tubing would look small for that...
I dunno dude.

yup, the exhaust isnt perihperal, it comes out of the end/intermediate housings

I wonder what would happen if I wanted a test drive with a fake ID and the car ended up on blocks in the ghetto and the motor in my car...hmmm...

Yea the exhaust ports are now side ports (ELIMINATES OVERLAP), which is much more efficient than the PP (read:race port) exhaust we've got on our cars now. The ports are now on the housing just like the intake, 2 for each rotor. They're located above where the current PP exhaust on our cars is right now. If only you could see it you'd understand why it's soooooo much better. Go to mazda's usa site and study the RX8 section and you'll see they let a little slip out (the shockwave reveals the most). Finally I know how the damn thing works...now if only I can find a way to convert...

I was always thought that standard peripheral exhaust port rotary had practically no overlap, and the point of the RENISIS was to get a REASONABLE amount of overlap, like a piston engine (not shitloads or nothing like what you have with a peripheral exhaust).

Ok I got an idea... people peripheral port engines why not port an engine similar to the renisis motor?

I'm sure that will be coming shortly, but convention always thought that PP or bridgework was the way to go, so there's going to be a delay. I wonder if Racing Beat will come out with anything. It could be good for the consumer because the cast iron will be cheaper than the alu. PP type housings by a long shot. RB makes alu side housings right now I think though, maybe they'll mod a set soon.

omg that shit is bad. but i excuse me for saying it looks really funny

the system isnt too complicated, all they did was added a third port, kind of like a bridge port, but they have a flapper that keeps it closed until the engine goes into hardcore mode (full throttle at high rpms i assume.) sounds like a great idea to me. thats how they got 255 hp out of an NA engine. someone needs to turbo that bitch.

damn i need need to get one of those sumbitches for my T2. then i would rule the world and have a renesis FC. Does anyone have a sound clip of the engine running?

yeah a minor turbo upgrade on the renesis would be great. If you wanted to put down 250ft-lbs of torque, I'm assuming a little engine strengthening would be in order amoung other things.

Wonder how much torque that carbon fiber driveshaft and metal rear diff will take?

Cool!

i got the pics from the mazda usa site.

i hered that they were goin to make a turbo model later along with a turbo 350z. im not for sure but its loose talk. my dad ships with mazda and mazda said the rx8 will blow the 350 z out of the water. rx8 is better in every aspect.

i cant wait to see what the rx8 bring to the roads

I saw where they said that it's 255hp and didn't need to force induct it. WHAT?? Force induct EVERYTHING!

:bowdown: Boost it:)
