Some retard
mentions small people and look where this thread has gone.
Seriously though, this thread should be more on topic than the ancient 'wide rotor 15B' thread.
Back on track we go. Speculate, speculate my people!

Power!!
1.55L=276fwhp(at current efficiency)
+10% for DI=fw303hp
+5% for Al rotors and housings with Cermet coating=318fwhp
-15% for drivetrain losses=270whp
318hp at the flywheel and 270 at the wheels. That's my speculation for Renesis 2.

Reality?
The 13B is only 15% bigger than the 12A and got 30% more power, and that was just in first generation RX-7s.
The last NA 13B put out 160hp, the Renesis puts out 230hp, and that's the same size engine with different ports and jiggling with the plumbing. Now the engine's 23% bigger, plus they're doing more with the plumbing and injection. So, (I believe/hope) over 270hp is very believable.
I'm still not clear on the naming scheme. It used to be (#size)(#version), there was a 13A and the RX-7s technically had the 12B. So either Mazda has been working on this for a while, or it's for marketing to show this is a real HUGE advance.
