Yeah, I'm not sure why they didn't do both intake and exhaust ports on the side from the start.
the 30 year contract that Mazda signed with NSU back in the late 60's prohibited Mazda from changing the location of the ports. However that contract ran out i think 2 years ago

Why would you want to do that? The 13B-REW has WAY more power potential. If it doesn't blow up on you. LOL!!

They should change the name of the motor. Renesis sounds too gay.

I just don't know if the motor will take to a turbo the way they do now.
