Does any one know if you could use a carburator on a Renesis engine. I know with fuel injectors you get more control, but it would be much easier to use a carburator. I think that mazda didnt make side port motors, earlier because the tried it and found that the exhaust port would get cloged because it used to much oil to lucate the rotors Now I think they have the amount of oil small enough they were able to take it to production cars. I think they tried it on there protype motors,"R&D" in the 70's. A carburator would be really easy and not take up much space for us who have older cars.

If "easier" means having to tune a clean each change of season, emmissions suitable for a gas chamber, worse fuel efficiency, slower throttle response and reduced power then yes a carburetor should work on the Renesis.

the RENESIS uses "Jet Stream" injection, or some stupid name like that which is just basically direct port injection... the only reason anyone USED to switch from injectors to carbs for really really high performance in the early 80's is because injectors just couldn't deliver enough fuel. only NASCAR still believes that a carburator is a better solution (which it isn't) for any single reason you can think of. Carburators and injectors are really, really not very different at all, except that carbuators are throttles and a mechanical injection system all together in one unit, and now we have the throttles separate from the electronically controlled injection system. apart from cost, there is absolutely no down side to injection, unless you can't understand it which means you just need to read a bunch, get a few classes on how to tune, or just plain not try to tune them at all ('cause nearly everyone can't without expensive computer mods) and leave it to the pros.

trying to do this on the RENESIS would be suicide... why the heck would you want to remove, and somehow fill up all the gaps that removing the electronic system would create, and magically incorperate a mechanical throttle and injection system (your carb) into an engine where absolutely everything else is electronically controlled and would have worked in tandem with the electronic throttle and injection system you just threw in the bin?? it's totally nuts, and you'd probably never ever get it to work, 'cause you'd have to somehow either convince the ECU that everything was working as normal (it's got those hundreds of sensors around the engine that would tell it different that you'd have to deal with), OR come up with a mechanical solution for everything that the ECU normally controls on the RENESIS... it's completely insane. no offense. it's a cute idea... new and old blended together... heh heh heh...

The reason I asked is becaue a carburator is much simpler that intakes, fuel injectors, ecu, wires,etc.... I have set up the Stand alone systems before I can do it I was just thinking about cost. and Simplity. Mostly cost. And I wanted to see what yall though some people might not be able to come up with the cash to get everything you need to make a system work. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the rotary just like me and you can. I know running a 3 rotor is easier with carburators than with fuel injection unless you have the tech know how.
