i might suggest that if you don't know that it's the 13b perhaps you shouldnt be replacing it yourself

13B is what you have.
20B is a three rotor engine and takes a lot to upgrade to.

The Renesis is a particular kind of side exhaust port 13B, which stands for 1.3 liter 2-rotor engine. But there are older 13B engines that are peripheral exhaust port engines. The 20B is a 3-rotor 2-liter peripheral exhaust port engine.

it's even worst when the dealer has a hold of it and they need to know what to do and don't!

You have an 8 year 100K mile warranty on your motor. A replacement should be covered under warranty unless you have done something to void the warranty like turbo it.

K first of all since all you noob haters are just assumptionists with a bad attitude i will set you straight... I myself am not putting the motor in i am having a shop do it... i am buying the motor myself and taking it to them... and second you shouldnt be rude anyways this is an open forum where people can ask questions so get off the high mountain you think your own and dont say anything at all if your going to be rude.

Thanks for the advice on a dumb question from the people that were nice about it.

Don't worry about it. There are 3 or 4 people here who are constantly rude. They have good advice about the need to do your own reading. There's a lot of great information around here if you have the time to sift through it. But I also understand that sometimes you need to ask some basic questions before you can understand some of the information.

after 55 posts and 8 months on this site you would think he is aware that n00bs get eaten alive unless they are quick on the draw....the smart ones do the home work and learn before posting....its only the "special" ones that get roasted quick

It doesn't really matter how many posts you have it depends on the quality, or lack therof, of the question. Spoonfeeding requests will always get flamed even if you're a regular here.

Good point Charles! JGR444, you are dumb! Naa, we all learn sometime but you really should read around first. The advice everyone has given is good no matter what forum you are on. Matter of fact you simply could have googled a question as basic as this without bothering to come on the site. Good luck w/ the new engine.

My stupid questions usually just get me ignored not flamed. You haters are slacking.
