Do you have any video of audio clips? I'm very interested in hearing this beast. Does it sound any different than a normal 3 rotor?

Thats a good question, but I think it'll sound the same as a 20b because the firing order is the same etc.. The only difference is the port arrangement and zero overlap..

This is what the RX8 should have in it.
It has lots of low down torque ,but still wants more and more revs.
Zero overlap of the inlet and exhaust ports helps with exhaust evacuation.
The car has not been on a dyno yet,but I can say that it pulls harder than a modified FD RX7 that is still on stock twin turbo's running around 330hp.

well, my hat's off to you, chap! you've done a wonderful job. i agree that the Rx-8 should have had this motor - or at least, the option for it. i love my 8, but if i were to ever swap out the Renesis, it would be for a 20B and 20B ONLY!!!!! maybe by the time i hit that crossroads, a 20B Renesis will be real option.

good work and godspeed.

Took a trip in this very same car today at silverstone and all i can say is its incredible for a na.
I own a Fd and up untill about a month ago it had stock turbos on and and it was definitly faster than mine. the torque was fantastic

On tickover it sounded sweet and sounded awsome when up in the revs.

That's because he did not do it. That's the factory design of the 'renesis' motor. The motor in the rx-8 in other words. Those housings are all from the rx-8 motor. Hope that helped.

Hayward Rotary? I remember being at Shakespeare Raceway a few years back and they had a black 12A 4-rotor that sounded like a plane. Had the tag KABOOM on the nose. They were doing shakedown/break in passes at Rotorstock.
I was so mad I didnt have my 7 in England.

Nice nice, where do you get an ITB setup like that?! I wouldnt mind talking to the builder more about how they swapped it over to NA and how much of a bitch it was to fabricate the intake manifold. Cheers!
