did anyone or any shops tried a REnisis motor swap into an FC yet? if it works, maybe i'll start saving up for it. more power, better gas milage, same displacement. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

It would probably cost a grip for R&R and custom fabing stuff, not to mention the engine itself, u'd be better with a TII.

I don't there are any spare Renesis motors on the market at this point are there?

i bet there is if you got the bling bling cash money hoes yo and shift mad fast too yo,lol hehehehe https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

id rather do a 20b

so far everybody I've known who has thought about the Reneses couldn't even install an engine made for the car. How do they think the thing will run with the stock ECU? :squint:

LOL, no ****!



That's a rather large assumption, to presume a motor is availible even before the car has been released!

I dunno, I think I want the renesis for my next engine related project. Who cares about the stock ECU, just get a TEC3. The renesis is pimp according to specs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

it didn't seem like it, it didn't occur for me to ask them anything this weekend



mike

from what i heard the renesis is smaller than the 13b. it would be cool to have one in a first gen with a turbo. the drive by wire might have to go though.

the new formula mazda cars are putting, i think he said 240hp to the ground. they had one this weekend, it should fit into an fc no problem.

the problem is the drive by wire throttle bodies



mike

we saw one in a car, it looked like a '78, 13b to me, until i saw the plastic intake, and the 3 tube header

u saw one at 7 stock? how are those engines rated anyway?

Yeah, it seems good, but I just wish that people would think about ALL of the costs before they start. Who knows if the RX-7 transmissions will bolt right up to it? Then there are the flywheel/counterweight issues.

They're using the drive by wire stuff? That's cool. It can probably be controlled somehow with an auxiliary output that depends on a TPS, but who knows.

Yeah, they probably know alot more than us. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

This guy is like a spy or some ****, how do you know these people? Or better yet, how can I see this stuff? lol

tunnel vision will bite you in the ass everytime...



I'm with Turbo II at this point, a 20B would be a far more attractive option, and the application has already been through R&D, most of the bugs have been worked out...a built 20B, TECIII, the correct running gear and what not, youve got a sweet ride to roll around in.



Let the the BIG MONEY boys work out the bugs on the Renesis...

i'd love a 20B i already have a tec III https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I personally don't see the problem, just get the 6 speed from the rx-8 along with the motor, one would want a 6 speed in the car anyways. Just get a custom prop shaft if needed and the rest should be relatively simple to work out. Tell me you wouldnt enjoy an FC with the renesis and a 6 speed manual. Only think I'd rather have is an RX-01.

Yeah, that RX-01 show car was TIGHT! OMG, I'd almost forgot about it.
