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

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.

 

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

 

Im anti cat!



Its mazda who didnt turbo it..
