How easy to transplant a Renesis

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I'm building a track car- spaceframe, midengine. I've designed it to take the twin turbo 13b but have just got thinking about the renesis lump.

My question is, can I strip it back to the core and run it on throttle bodies and aftermarket ECU or will this be crap/not work and would this be easier than trying to get the standard set up to run.

Thanks.

Pettit has done some work on the Renesis in other applications and probably has the necessary hardware to go cable operated throttle body, and then the necessary trigger wheel to use a standalone like Motec.

Your best bet would be to contact someone like them and see what they have to say about it...
