200 lb./ft. of torque at 7,878 RPMs. Do the math.........
Very intriguing. I'll keep an eye on this thread...

'

Horsepower = ((RPM)*(Torque))/5252

Quick math says your making 300 Horsepower N/A. Is that with Nitrous?

If your doing that totally N/A porting might become very popular very fast.

That's what I'm thinking too. I just didn't want to say anything. He'll probably edit his post whenever he has a chance.

Would love that! (To have that ability and to see the video...). Is that part of the tune that MM gave him? Is it making power all the way up etc?... I have the AP and wouldnt mind a higher redline...

It's so beautiful:

[/QUOTE]

VERY beautiful....

Also, those 425 HP out of a N/A 20B...you can be fairly confident that that's about as much power as they could possibly make. They do phenomenally precise tuning with those cars. There is always a theoretical limit of engine power capacity with a fixed amount of airflow, and I'm sure that is about that #.

Is there anybody in Usa that has dyno'ed a ported Renesis engine on a Super flow or similar engine dyno? Here in Sweden i hope to be the first with a stage 0.5 streetport done by my companion Micke for 2 years ago. The engine set up is as follows:
1. 2004 Renesis engine streetported.Statically and dynamically balanced on a Turner machine.
2.Engine management Vi-Pec V44 with bosch igniters and 4 as today unknown coils. Upgraded injectors.
3. Shall be tested with 2 different intake combinations. Electric water pump to be used.
4. Hope to have 3 different headers plus the stock exhaust manifold with me on dyno day.
5.Test the engine with Shell V-Power 99 octane and E85.
6. Book 2 days on engine dyno and test test!
7. Why? Becausse i am a die hard rotary fan since the early 80s! And to learn more about the Renesis capabilities and have fun!

The guy who created the thread wants huge horsepower with N/A configuration? Why dont you buy a corvette , not even a word of handling came out. If you want huge horsepower and huge torque it obviously needs big displacement for N/A , forced induction allows you to get more air that the engine couldn't have done by itself. Don't see why you want N/A power so much considering you have a 1.3 L , and a smooth powerband? Turbos and superchargers do that , of course its going to pin you back on your seat , its called power , the thing you wanted. lol

Thank's Brettus! I have at least 3 engines to do before i have the time to assemble and do the wiring and so on. A friend of mine is building the headers. Plan is to dyno test with the stage 0.5 porting and the dissasemble and do a double bridge port to the outer side plates Then go to the dyno again...

The Japanese is at forefront when it comes to N/A engines i believe. Never heard anyone else do needle bearings on a Rotary. Powerwise with ML Wankeltrim flow to hp the RX-8 engine with the stage 0.5 portjob is capable to 318 hp That is without an intake manifold. Hope to have the engine on the dyno before Christmas
