I'll post a link if I find it (unless someone finds it before me...)

btw, that front looks outstanding. That was what caught my attention, even before the stuff under the hood.... What kit is that?

yeah i got that issue a couple days ago in the mail and it cought my eye. I read the whole article and was disappointed to see that it is RX7 based, NOT the renesis. Still a Sweat car, but im into keeping the renesis and hoping to see its TRUE Virtue come out of it. I know there is potential in this motor. As is with some upgrades to it i was able to seriously put 350Z and nissan 300 ZX to shame. Our car has a whole lot of power, I am just giving it time to see what other can come up with that will blow me away. If nothing comes up then i might be swaping the renesis motor into My 85' FB and the Sequential Twin turbo 3-rotor engine into the RX8. But that is my last resort, lol. Until then i am perfectly happy with the Renesis being in the RX8.

the thing is that the renesisi is define by the potition of its ports, to get power out of a rotary engine you have to mod the ports, so it is a renesis engine with its side ports closed and pports. In the past when you made a 13b-REW into a pport configuration it was still a 13b-REW

so it is a renesis with peripheral ports

You should start a thread with what you are getting done!

Back on topic

Looking forward to reading the article. Too bad they could not do it with a 100% renesis motor.

The interesting thing to me was the dual throttle bodies for each rotor. That is an interesting way to get more air and possible more HP. I wonder what the cost of such a mod would be?

Never heard of this Turbo Magazine...
Sounds like a rice-fest though.

And what is a Naturally Aspirated car doing in Turbo Magazine? eh?

Usually much more $/hp than other simple mods. Only hardcore trackers usually mess around with that stuff. Although I have seen a couple of S2000s with it
