REAL QUESTION

I dont know what happened with the other threads, the computer I was on REALLY messed up...


Im new here but I have searched. Maybe this question
has been posted before and I didnt find it.

I was wondering if the renisis block could be set up
with a 13B turbo induction system or a custom system
replacing the variable intake?
I have been thinking about this for a few reasons: I'm
not too keen on the variable intake of the renisis, I
like turbos, and (mainly) with the exhaust port on the
side of the combustion chamber rather than on the
face, would some of the rotories quirks be resolved
(ie: poor fuel economy, unburnt fuel getting into the
exhaust, and the noise)? And would using a renisis
block allow for a much higher rev limit?

Im not thinking of this question as something to do to
a RX-8, but rather as a replacement to say a FC with a
blown motor.

As for me, I moved from a mustang to the nissan I have
now, so rotories are somewhat of an enigma to me but I
wanna learn more.

You know about the higher compression ratio, right?

nope. Im still in the dark about a lot of the renisis' details vs the 13B. What is the compression?

Even with higher compression couldnt you just adjust the boost to fit or would that still put the apex seals at risk?

10:1 on the Renesis. Its intake and exhaust port location solves the problem the previous 13B had of the overlap in intake and exhaust.
