you don't think the higher compression will limit this motor from making that kind of power on pump gas?
As I know you know, this will be a factor of octane and air charge temps with our given compression.
At the moment, being that we have trouble holding ignition spark even to 1 bar...I guess it's wait and see...I guess we could do the ol MazdaManiac trick and sit down and do some engine calcs for compression and fuel to get to a theoretical heat/detonation threshold for the engine.

Hahaha oh dear lord this thread is still alive?!
Anyway, this reply pretty much sums up why I posted it in the first place:
Exactly!
And to those of you who think I know nothing about the rotary, hahaha shame on you
Just because I don't own an 8 doesn't mean that thousands of hours I've spend working on FD's and FC's in the past 6 years, the dozen or so engine pulls and installs, and countless hours of researching means I know nothing about the renesis... Hell, I might even be buying one!
Just let the thread die already!
Anyway, this reply pretty much sums up why I posted it in the first place:
I'm not sure how this thread got to the point of bickering... All it was was a guy posting a link to an ebay auction of what was described as an "Indestructable" item.
Clearly, we know that the renesis isn't indestructable: it can be destroyed by anything from operator stupidity, to ungodly ambient air temperatures in extremely hot environments. The joke isn't that "oh, the renesis sucks so it can't be described as indestructable". Rather, it is funny that the word indestructable would be used to describe something that has been killed, for some people, on multiple occasions for seemingly no reason.
Some of us do need to lighten up a bit...

im still waiting for the guy that was all over the STI's nuts for being so much more reliable than the 8 to come back and defend why almost every website has the 8 being just as or more reliable than the sti
