I'll post a link if I find it (unless someone finds it before me...)

yeah i got that issue a couple days ago in the mail and it cought my eye. I read the whole article and was disappointed to see that it is RX7 based, NOT the renesis. Still a Sweat car, but im into keeping the renesis and hoping to see its TRUE Virtue come out of it. I know there is potential in this motor. As is with some upgrades to it i was able to seriously put 350Z and nissan 300 ZX to shame. Our car has a whole lot of power, I am just giving it time to see what other can come up with that will blow me away. If nothing comes up then i might be swaping the renesis motor into My 85' FB and the Sequential Twin turbo 3-rotor engine into the RX8. But that is my last resort, lol. Until then i am perfectly happy with the Renesis being in the RX8.

the thing is that the renesisi is define by the potition of its ports, to get power out of a rotary engine you have to mod the ports, so it is a renesis engine with its side ports closed and pports. In the past when you made a 13b-REW into a pport configuration it was still a 13b-REW
so it is a renesis with peripheral ports
so it is a renesis with peripheral ports

Back on topic
Looking forward to reading the article. Too bad they could not do it with a 100% renesis motor.
