It would be a very large task to adapt a Renesis intake manifold to a 13B. The differences in the gaskets alone that show the intake runner location differences is pretty scary and then you factor in that the Renesis intake runners go straight in the engine whereas the REW's go at a downward angle. This is probably a Renesis.

you could always use an adapter like the fc guys do when they use the rew upper manifold, but what's the use??? the manifold isn't designed for a 7-8k rpm 4-port motor, so it wouldn't be optimised.

It has 8 spark plug wires but not 8 spark plugs. The Electromotive only sells coilpacks with twin towers. You can only run sequential with 4 coil packs so the wires with the black wrapping are just sent to grounds. Thats how electromotive tells you to install them.

And unfortunately I didn't even see this car at SEMA. Looks pretty cool though.

Did anyone find out what kind of power it made?

Im sure the 8 doesnt need that much HP !!
Its funny how the Turbo'd 8's seem to be putting out more power than the Supercharged ones , Why is this ?
It has been said that having no port overlap doesnt help turbos . Is this crap ? Seems so .
