Sorry, to revive an old thread, but isn't the compression on renesis rotors a lot higher? Like 10.5:1?

Compression on the RX8 is 10:1 on either the 4 port of 6 port version.

Here's a link to the RX8 specs. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/disp...ode=RX8&bhcp=1

Compression helps significantly, but basically it's a lot of trouble for a little gain. The ports, tuning, etc. are more important.

Hi

In my opinion, more compression is much better, +power +better gas milenage.
But here in Portugal we have 98octanes Gas, detonation don't is a problem. And the renesis rotors are more lighter than the s5 rotors.

But I'm thincking on buy a lightweight assembly from racingbeat.

Anyone have test a engine with and with out the rotor assembly and mesure the diff? I think that less 2lb on an engine at 9000rpm/3 = 3000rpm rotor, will do very diff on performance!
