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...

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?

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).

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.

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?

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.
Boost it
