How about somebody posting some specs and info on the new RENESIS engine? I don't have anything in a digital format, but I'm sure somebody does.

Road and Track had a good article on the RENESIS engine. It actually had quite a bit of detail. I will try and see if I can get it digital.

I got a shot of it from SS4.

Wow that engine bay looks funny. I have that road and track article but its a printout that somebody copied for me.

LOL The Evolve pic... crack me up.. :)

Has anyone else noticed on the big cutaway Renesis picture (http://media.mazda.ch/dossiers/Wankel/images/hi-res/12-renesis-04.jpg) that the leading and trailing spark plugs are vastly different? Not only are the plugs shaped differently, but the ports from the inside of the rotor housing are extremely different. Any hypotheses or data on that?

Also, on the side (http://media.mazda.ch/dossiers/Wankel/images/hi-res/09-renesis-01.jpg) cutaway, the plug wires are connected to what appears to be a belted accessory on the front cover rather than a black box. Any idea how that's supposed to work?

Also noticed something else at the 2 o'clock (http://media.mazda.ch/dossiers/Wankel/images/hi-res/12-renesis-04.jpg) position. I can't tell if that's a compression artifact where the threaded hole meets the inner surface or a tiny port of some sort. Oil injection? It's kind of an odd place to simply be a bolt-hole. All of the other bolt-holes stop an inch or two before the inside (except the plug ports).

On the top right of the picture, the alternator is attahced to something that is appropriately shaped like a rotor. Nice touch. What might that be? Crank angle sensor? From the RX-Evolv photo above, it almost appears to have hose attached to it, though. That'd be pretty lame if Mazda made the thermostat an epitrichoid rather than a circle!:p

Yeah now that I look at it that does seem a little odd. It might be oil injection. That might mean much better metering of the oil and more accurate too. Hey maybe (just speculation) when the apex seal goes past it lubes just the seal. I don't know but we'll see when it comes out. Damn you now I have another mystery about the engine I have to think about.

it could be alot of things. map sensor. direct-rotor-housing fuel injection. built in nitrous oxide jet. it could even be a built in compression sensor, so when the compression starts to go bad, a little light flicks on in the cockpit.

Haha it's cool. I'll figure somethin out.

What just happened?

7yr 3month bump. i am sure that is the record...

beers :beer:

Old speculative thread is old.

It has to be, I believe it's from the month the site was started.

lmao how did you even find this thread!?

Given how many motors have gone on the Series I renesis, this idea turned out not to be too off :lol2:
