Well I wasn't able to find any luck over the Xmas/New Year break....got distracted by a project where I got a shorter term win!

Completing the ground up restoration of this thing.

Anyhow, the Renesis NC Track Car build project has effectively stalled.....so much so that I need to drop a PM to a forum moderator to change the title. :wink:

I can't spare the time that is required to develop the supercharger kit to a level that would make it a robust/reliable engine package. It's pretty obvious that after three years of nothing in the engine R&D area that another year isn't going to yield much! :oops:

The "third party" supercharger kit was/is lacking in too many areas and the market/demand has contracted for such a product (and the RX-8 ceased production 12 months ago

)....ie. Low chance of recovering on investing in completing the R&D of the Renesis supercharger kit.

So that door has closed...however another has opened! :twisted:

Stay tuned!

Cheers,
Danny

Now we're talking Dave!

However, I'm moving away from an engine package that requires a whole lot of R&D...somehow a 4 rotor isn't gonna get me that! haha

Cheers,
Danny

Sounds exciting!

Even a 'boring' MZR comes to life with plenty of herbs and spices when you add enough boost! :twisted:

What's the largest centrifugal blower you can buy from HKS? :wink:

Definitely not having any form of forced induction...will be relying purely on gravity and a CAI! :mrgreen:
