I'd be interested to see a comparison to an equally prepped non-renesis 20B to see the differences/advantages.

Any findings?

OK,
HP for this engine is not known exactly yet as when we were on the dyno there was a probelm with the dyno that stopped us going more than 6000rpm,but at 6000rpm we had 250hp flywheel,and the projection is that at 8000 rpm we should hit 350hp Flywheel.
We have to get back on the dyno to see for sure but I am confidant.
As for the exhaust on the center rotor,I am amazed that people still are not understanding that it is possible to play with the exhaust!
Out of interest I don't hold to much store by dyno figures,what the car feels like is far more important.
When we get back on dyno we'll get torque figures too.
Reagrds
Carl

What has happened to this?? Brettus did you get anything from that guy building these in the states? I know it has been a while, but really intriguing!

No updates and no news coming in about this should tell you that it was not a big success.... Poor center rotor is probably choked out. My bet is it died from too much heat on the center rotor from the dual Siamese ports.
