Gunna try all the 'tricks' this time . IE screamer pipe , E50 (not willing to upgrade fuel system for E85 just yet) and anything else I can think of along with some internal engine mods .

I only lasted one test drive with a screamer pipe lol Even if it's temporary, at least it'll tell you if the exhaust can be improved.

By "Internal Engine Mods" I hope you mean an extra rotor...or at least a thicker center iron for moar exhaust flow!

Come on, spill the details!

The details huh .... Well , it's never been tried before (as far as I know) and it could be the breakthrough I thought I might get on the last round of mods (but didn't). How's that ?

Just came back from holiday . New engine is built ...picking it up today. Will be taking my time putting it in and getting it ready for one last ditch attempt at the world record whp for a Renesis.
I'm quietly confident that these porting mods will work ..............................as I have been through all my previous failures

Peripheral port the exhaust with a 5:1 undivided turbo flange and be done with it already.

The whole object of the exercise is to make the Renesis work better with a turbo. Not because I think it will be any better than an REW or a hybrid, but because ... it's hard to do and no-one has done it yet.

Engine is running . Straight away I notice that it's using less fuel at idle ...which is interesting . Haven't tried high boost yet .

Spoolup is slightly better to 10psi . Power feels good for that boost level so far up to about 5000...nothing surprising though.

Here's me thinking hardly anyone was interested!

Did some tuning yesterday dialing in some bigger injectors.Will post a 10psi log soon . Also trying to get hold of a weld flange so we can make a screamer pipe .
