What would happen to performance and reliability if I put in a Renesis, then took out the twin turbos and replaced them with a sequential setup of a supercharger and some really heavy single turbo? Assuming I won the lottery and gained the necessary technical abilities by means of a radioactive asteroid or something?

um i'm gonna say nothing. the turbos are the reliability problem. if you had an na rew motor it would last many hundreds of thousands of miles. there arent a lot of reliability mods dont on the renisis, they just raised the rpms it makes power at

Y'mean, the turbo is that part that fails? Or that a naturally aspirated engine lasts longer than a boosted one, even if it's tuned well and all?

the heat of the turbo is the cause for most of the failures on the fd



mike

You can't turbo the renesis due to the port design, no?

I thought they couldnt get the cat to heat up and work with a turbo setup....

An efficient supercharger is probably going to work better on the Renesis. But then again, Pettit now has an RX-8 or just the engine, or both lol, and they're messing with it right now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

you can turbo it, its just not gonna like it cause its got smaller apex seals and higher compression

**** the cats you tree hugging hippy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Im anti cat!



Its mazda who didnt turbo it.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

wont the high compression spool up the turbos faster, and give you better lower end power?

They didn't turbo it because of emissions and Ford didn't want to put forth the cash to fund testing of a turbo set up... Ie.. Renisis is nothing more than the N/A FC, just hang out for a year or two and the real deal will be released.. Supposedly there is a 1.5 liter 2 rotor turbo engine in development... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

Oh no, add the twin supercharger with NOS activated turbos and a header for best results. Watch out though, I've seen a lot of passengers fall through the floor when the panel breaks off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png







a 15c maybe?

I think they are trying to restore faith in the rotary with the renesis. If they turbo it it'll be just as bad as the FD, and people won't ever like the rotary.

yes, but high compression is not what you want for middle to high boost because it encourages preignition and/or detonation.



maybe if you take the fd rotors and put them in the renisis block.... hmmmm
