Didn't RG mentioned that the pics in there are just a collection of random images? Porting work (if I remember correctly) was from GuitarJunkies porting project (may he rest in peace)

They're full of crap. The ported Renesis pictures they have on their page are actually pictures of Guitarjunkie's work when he did snoochie's car a few years ago. The pictures of the lightened rotors is straight out of the Racing Beat catalog and the pictures of the upgraded fuel system is an engine that Paul Yaw did a couple of years ago. The transmission pictures are of the dogbox that Guru Racing makes for the rotary. Not a single one of their engine work pictures is their own work. That's shady enough that I wouldn't send any work their way. If you can't post pictures of your own work then it's probably not work looking at.

That's a kit out of Japan. Straight 2 lobe rotor roots blower. That's as archaic as roots blowers can get. It's supercharger technology that is about 60 years old. Even modern roots blowers by comparison are kings of efficiency by comparison. then no intercooler, a dryer duct for an intake (can't wait to see how long that takes to break apart), and some wonderful smooth (sarcasm mode on) outlet piping. I wonder if that engine even makes any more power than stock?
