Renesis v2.0
I have started my next project. After having dropped my plans to go forced induction in 2010, I decided to work on a NA build based on this:
Mazmart Re-manufactured Engine built by Rick Engman
Cobb Flash Tuned
Iannetti Ceramic Apex Seals and New '09 Rotor Housings
Mazmart/Racing Beat Street Port
Engman Oil Porting
Engman Modified Corner Seals
RE-medy Oil Pressure Kit
RE-medy Water Pump
RE-medy Thermostat
Sohn Oil Injection
BHR Ignition
Racing Beat Intake
GReddy Oil Pan from BHR
9 lb. ACT Flywheel from BHR
Samco Coolant Hoses from BHR
Racing Beat Gauge Pod with Autometer Sport Comp Gauges
Racing Beat Dual Resonated Catless Midpipe
UPDATE: 12/06/10 Mustang 4-Wheel Dyno in 4th Gear with CAT: 190 hp / 136 tq (Compare to 164 / 127 bone stock RX8 baseline that day)
Look late January for a DynoJet plot in 5th gear and no CAT, where I store my original chassis baseline UPDATE: Results: 01/29/11 180.20 / 123.77
UPDATE:Went back to the Dynojet with build #3 on 07/12/12 and here are the results: 190.29 / 137.5
"All of our rebuilds get lapped flat housings, modified cornerseal springs, balanced rotating assemblies, modified front oil thermostats, specially clearanced side seals and more. Mods can include: Oil passage mods to front and rear flat housings, oil mods to stationary gears, polished eccentric shaft, eccentric oil jet installation, bearing pre-break in (Lapping), front cover oil and water mods, shimming of primary oil pressure reg, installation of our Ceramic seals and our water pump. Some port work is sometimes an option also."
The throttle body was ported and polished by BDC Motorsports, yep even on a NA engine. The upper intake manifold and secondary runner joints will get minor plastic port cleanup and aluminum coated outside. The lower intake manifold has been ceramic coated outside by BDC Motorsports. Brian also updated the SSV. Rick Engman ported the APV sleeves per Racing Beat templates.
I'm going to need help with the engine swap, as my arthritis is on the increase it seems. Not as young as I used to be it seems. Any takers? Come on Dan, you know you like wrenching and Lee's food! Timing will be April.

Nemesis: your car is going to be a MONSTER!
I can't wait to see the finished results.

Man I would love to assist on this install. I will be installing my RE-medy OP kit this weekend. too bad my rebuild isn't a Mazmart rebuild with a street port and ceramic seals. Other than that our goals are pretty similar.

Good project ahead!
You said that you're undecided with your flywheel... why don't you get a bhr flywheel\clutch setup?
Less rotating mass, less unsprung weight and better quality than ANY other commercial flywheel out there!
Starting the engine with BHR's ignition as well, since you're going to use an accessPORT, would be cool for both the benefits that the yukon coils give and the addition of the extra dwell settings...
Add a sports catalyzer and you'll be drivining a monster

Sounds really nice, good choices with companies to do the work and make the components, all absolutely top notch. Is the plan to keep this motor naturally aspirated for the long term or will you go forced induction at some point? Is the car for street use with mild track use or a purpose built track car? Look forward to seeing your progress.

Power!!
Hi Kevin,
I'm willing to come down and help out on the weekends. Be happy to help out but am not experienced with pulling the engine. Have done Tranny twice though. Let me know when you have the weekend set and I'll block out some time.
I recommend the Racing Beat or BHR flywheels. The BHR clutch sounds nice as well.

By all reports the Ianetti seals are the absolute best seals available for rotary engines. They are world record quality, and while I couldn't stomach the price myself I certainly understand why someone would buy them. The Esmeril seals are reasonably priced, and initial reports seem positive, but there is very little data about the seals long term benefits. I'm tenatively planning to use the Esmeril seals myself, so by no means am I badmouthing them just to be clear.
