I agree --even though pulling the tranny is a pain with all the ppf etc i had rather do it up top. Once you take intake,uim, battery/box etc off you do have a good bit of room, just need to protect the electric power steering and the fans when you swing it forward. I will be swapping mine out is approx 2 weeks(i hope--schedule and all)

How many miles do you have FI on the motor you are taking out?
It would be interesting to see the if the SC accelerated any wear.
I've contemplated doing the same thing (pulling my motor while it is still totally healthy) and pulling it apart to see if there is anything that can be improved upon.
There are several good motors here in Phoenix.
There really aren't too many options to make the Renesis stronger, though. It already has the hardest apex seals Mazda ever used.
I suppose the side seal to corner seal clearance could be improved, but porting and such won't make huge gains in a relatively low-boost S/C or turbo installation.

Agreed and I have a lot to learn. I want to look at coatings(not the housing), slight exhaust porting, do some flow studies(especially with that siamese port we have), lower compression, little oil flow mod, thermostat- etc . It is going to be a learning experience along with what i hope to be a little stronger engine eventually.

whenever i do rebuild, that's the route i plan to take. my focus will be reliability and longevity on an RB flash and REW oil pressure, nothing major. i think i'll achieve it, too.
