Mazdatrix allready tried the Renn seals in a PP exhaust motor with no problems last i heard,.. think about it, the third piece on old apex seals was far thinner then the renn's are,..

These guys know a thing or two about running rotary's at high rpm for extended periods.

Actually Dave did have a problem. Read about it here. Dave's reply is at the bottom.

So the general answer from the masters on here is that it would be a relatively safe bet to run Renesis rotors in an FD that was boosting 20psi plus?? I would like to know seeing as I would love to have every advantage that I can while I'm building my new project FD. Please, all you motor gurus chime in. I'm wanting to hear any and all input!! Thanks in advance.

I would like to see install/mounting custom kits to drop in a Renesis in to a FD. Maybe it won't happen untill a turbo version comes out but I think the race shops should be fabricating it allready. If a new Renesis engine is $6k and a pieced together new FD engine is like $9k (guessing prices), then doesn't it make more sense to go with a more effecient, less polluting, higher power, less expensive engine?

i think some people here are missing the point. I am pretty sure crispeed runs methanol injection AT LEAST, so having a high cr doesnt really limit him psi wise. For those of use SANE people , running high comp rotors would really limit how much boost you could run on pump gas. IMO lower compression rotors (T2 8.5:1) is a better trade off. Slightly less spool, worse gas mileage, less low end, but MORE BOOST. Sounds good to me

even mazda put 9.0:1 CR in the FD, I would hope you wouldnt go lower than that. check out maximum boost by corky bell, he has some interesting views on CR with regard to boost.
