I'm hoping Brian will be able to find a pallet in time for him to ship it, and me to break it in and tune it by Deals Gap... down to about 4 weeks to pull it off... so cutting it close. Putting 1000+ miles on it in a week end is going to be torturous lol.

I wish I could tell you what they make, but I only know of 2 other BP Renesis motors... one guy in South Africa with no access to a dyno, and Chris from Esmeril Racing, but with no definitive dyno numbers to substantiate his "500+ HP", and for sure no NA numbers. So I'll pretty much be the first person posting "stock" bridgeport numbers. It'll be tuned with an Access Port, so it should run good, but I don't know if that will represent it's maximum potential, and I know that a mid pipe should net at least 10 more HP, but I won't be installing one just yet.

I'll post up my numbers once I have them. I'm almost nervous to know what it will do. It's the downside to being one of the firsts to do it. Brian went pretty large on the porting though. It should be a decent boost in VE after like 2500 RPMs, but by how much, I have no clue. I do know that the upper intake manifold becomes a bottle neck at like 400HP~450HP.

I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

I'm really interested in the results myself. When I researched street porting I got next to no improvements over stock. It has been a couple years, however. Mainly just reference points more than anything else is thehttp://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=111853 reason I was researching.

If I ever do mod the Rx8 it will be very very little things. Exhaust (more specifically, replacing cats with a mid pipe, and muffler), intake, and a tune. Netting closer to 300 horsepower at the flywheel would be sufficient enough for me to be happy with as it is my daily driver as well.

I wish you the best of luck with your numbers. I just wouldn't expect a whole whole lot. Keep in mind that the best bridgeported all motor six port 13B I've ever seen was barely over 200 horsepower.

several guys on the RX8 club forums are claiming 200+ on sock ports with tuning. teamRX8 i think was claiming 250 with a "long header" and a racing cat, and lots of tuning.

I feel you on the "over 250 flywheel" I'm pretty tired of how slow this car is on pickup. Regardless, it'll be supercharged later this year, so if the port work doesn't give me what I want, that will.

Please post the figures once you get them, it will defninitely enlighten everyone on the potential of the Renesis.
