The 450whp Renesis engine - why it will never happen - theory

I mean, you can make a 13B from an RX-7 make more power, but at that point, you also lose the ability to drive it daily. Idling at 2000 RPM isn't exactly a good quality for a daily driver.

Yes i agree 160hp to 230 hp

Reliability is very subjective. Did the car makes 422 whp on the dyno then sit in garage, or is it routinely pushed to the limits?

Holy Crap ! I think Mazda just figured out how to resolve the issue highlighted on page 1 ... Have a look at the new patent. Looks like a small periport that doubles as an EGR source and a wastegate !

I get the first one, where it makes a hybrid porting configuration some people thought about here. You have a small peripheral port to force most of the exhaust gas out so it doesn't build up in the rotor. Seeing how this engine is turbocharged, this is necessary. It looks like the unburnt gas swept out of the peripheral has a way to be recirculated, so emissions should be ok(hopefully).
I didn't get the second one. Does it just move the one side exhaust port into the opposite side housing to reduce leakage? That's the only part I understood.
Not sure how close this is to production. Probably not very.

It's all sausage to me whether or not if there is gonna be another rotary sports car.
This is just curiosity to me.

I am not an expert, but I was just saying that 1 side port exhaust is gonna be great for low-end turbo response in this case.
The peripheral can open up at higher RPM for the variable overlap as mentioned, and also just allow more exhaust flow to get out. Then again, I am not really looking at the overlap, just the exhaust port area.
Honda moved VTEC to the exhaust side for their turbocharged engines, so they can have a lower lift for better turbo spool at lower RPM and higher lift for high RPM operation. There are some similarities here.

I was just saying that in general, smaller port area and thus, higher velocity flow will be helpful for lower RPM. I just kinda wished that Renesis had some kinda variable exhaust port mechanism that can help with the low-end torque. That's all I am saying.
Maybe I didn't phrase it clearly and I apologize for that.

Edit: the slightly different closing timing suggests slightly smaller I suppose, never thought about it that way before:
Without timing overlap the exhaust port velocity isn’t relative. It’s all intake, which velocity/resonance there is everything as the Renesis proves with all the intake trickery. This is why a max flow exhaust provides the best NA Renesis power. Without overlap all that usual exhaust theory is meaningless/out the window on a Renesis.
However, all we’re talking about is a patent, so theoretical discussion on a theoretical idea which we lack detailed information about.

Old times sake bump, the one thing you left out of this is compression ratio. The Renesis being 10:1 is contributing to the situation a lot when you’re talking about high backpressure and exhaust gas carryover. I’d like to think that the Pettit modded 8.5:1 RX7 rotors along with full E85 would help relieve the situation some with lower dynamic pressure and lower exhaust temps. I also don’t see much talk about timing and such in here either.
Not saying you’re wrong within the context of your own experience, just that it may be more nuanced than proposed. Afterall there were a few engines that had RX7 housings with peripheral exhaust ports added on a Renesis engine that didn’t exactly set the dyno on fire with all those horzepowerz. Of course the gases spewing out of five ports of total excessive area and being brought back together again likely didn’t help the situation. I just think there’s more to it is all.
