never knew they used the renny for the 3 rotor, just thought it was a regular 20b.

interesting...

bse50

They don't.

monchie

That's the car they used at the Rolex racing events.

so that's $100,000 per rotor?

thanks for the link...i will have to start watching.

I know, I can read
It has "some" rx8 parts but what makes the renesis a renesis are the side ports which that engine completely lacks.

Thats what i was confused about, thanks for the clarification

bse50

There should be some info posted here already...
They basically use 13g parts (peripheral ports) and some of the renny's internals i reckon.
If the engine has a 10:1 compression ratio you can guess which parts already

Same question I had when saw the photo.

Okay.....

Same question I had after reading bes50's response, LOL

something that spins in rotary fashion?

Seriously, thanks for the clarification. Like many people here, I've been following that car for a while by watching some of the racing events. I knew all along it had a 20B engine in there; and I believe this is the information they put out anyway.

But this is the first time I read anything about "20B Renesis." So the photo above was quite confusing

There are numerous sources out there that discuss running Renesis rotors in a peripheral port setup, street and track. Not that much of a stretch at all to believe that a race team (that can't go FI) would be using the higher compression rotors.

wish they displayed a 787b

Totally agree.

I guess the first thing that came to my mind when reading "20B Renesis" was the side ports not the higher compression rotors.
