I wonder who is helping them with R&D on the new motor. I know Mazda sent early Rev motors to Downing Atlanta who has engineers.

everything behind the throttle body is supposed to be stock, and everything before the exhaust manifold. So really all they are doing with the motor is tuning...timing, leaning ect.

I talked tuning.. well we talked about what they run in the Renesis and they run the Motec M-800. They are using it to control the 3 sets of intake actuators. They have spent a lot of hours on the dyno tuning it at least that what thay said. So I think they are not using any outside engineering.
