I heard that the renesis e-shaft will gointo a 13b, and its lighter and balanced better than previous e-shafts.

That would be cool.

unless your question was directed at someone else....



the only thing with an unspecified year in the list above would be the rotor and side housings. Anything post-'86 should be fine, right? Are there any differences in housings between S4 and S5?

N/A all the way because no one likes the turbo lag.

I know the renesis E-shafts are lighter but I just don't know how much. I just called the friendly folx at Mazdatrix and they did not have one to weigh. For some reason 1 pound sticks out in my mind though.

So, is the general consensus that, though very cool, this hypothetical engine would be a waste to build, considering the power available in a turbo motor?
