the issue with the renesis and turboing it is the side port exhaust. even n/a the engine has a difficult time cooling off the side seals before the next combustion event takes place. now add in a turbo to the mix and the EGTs are a chunk higher, beyond the comfort level for the side seals, warping them and eventually ejecting them as the early engines would an apex seal(except with the renesis, literally almost everything gets damaged including the irons).

now modify an early peripheral exhaust rotor housing to work with the renesis and think about what happens.

the increased compression ratio is now what is going to limit your possible boost level, but at least the side seals might just survive.

i'm currently working on a 5 port turbo renesis exhaust manifold... if you plan on doing more than stomping the gas pedal more than once every 15 minutes it's going to take hybridization or a complete engine swap.

Ok so turbo is a big no no thanks for the info guys. Sound s like I might go back to my old idea of swapping in an engine from a 93 rx7 and making it 4 rotor. And before anyone thinks im crazy look at this link http://rotaryengine.com/services/34kits.htm they do the work I get the engine I just have to make it work in the 8

THIS, people, is what I call a "troll".
Your thread went from "open source" tuning of the RX-8 to a multi-engine rotor swap???
Sorry dude, but I've been doing this longer than you've been alive...
When it types like a troll...and it smells like a troll...

1) People have been give you suggestions, but you brush everything off.
If the answers are not good enough for you, go find it yourself.
Kids nowadays...they think everything needs to be silver spoon fed to them.
GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

2) Your attitude can be construed as thinly veiled threats.
Can the attitude, cause that causes others to get defensive too - not just you; you're not the only one that can use that defense.

I think I just stuck a sticky in here posting GUIDELINES on how members should act.
I believe you have never read it.
READ IT NOW.

I'm closing this thread cause it's all over the place (see above), and it has gone down the toilet.
(Oh shit, a mod!)
I normally delete crap like this, but I'm keeping this around for the tons of newbs that seem to be coming around at this time of the year to remind them what NOT TO DO HERE.

If you're not willing to change your attitude, you are not welcome here.
I suggest you READ MORE and POST LESS.
USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.

Mr. Jr_gosetto, this is a formal warning to knock it off.
Keep this up and further disciplinary action is promised.

Technically your the ignorant one.. You are the one with no knowledge of anything rotary. If you did you wouldn't have bought that slow whatever it is in the first place.

When someone says 4 rotor they are talking out if their ass you have nowhere near the budget and knowledge to get it done. You also have a shit attitude that is going to make the few people who might be able to help you achieve anything with your slow 8 besides blowing it up. Sit back and watch you fail.

Now go blow your shart up like the rest so other people can buy your roller for cheap and do something but fanboi in it.

Oh and I bench 320 blah and bleh breh! So breh come at me breh .

GDHSF!



Fuck Off I'm out!!

1st off how do u know my budget I didn't state one, 2nd i dont have a budget 3rd are u saying u can bench 320 (if so u must mean 320 feathers) u have no clue who I am I could be a 110 pound nerd or a 400 pound body builder so don't judge. And just so u know I bought the car with a blown engine for a grand. And look at mad mikes 4 rotor rx7 u can see its a 4 rotor, u can watch him drift it so its not just a pipe dream it possible I'm not retarted. 4th how do u know my mechanical aptitude again u have no clue who I am, and I don't think u need to say idk anything and y r u getting into this argument anyways are u teds muscle. And also I am asking the questions so I am get the info. I'm not doing the work and asking redundant questions. And I am new to the rotary yes, but I know a few things so don't state I know nothing (and the reason for getting the 8 is I can't fit in a 7 bc I'm 6 foot 8). I want to learn more about them and to do so questions have to be asked and answers are needed, not sarcasm and attack. So thank you to the people who posted helpful info.

realistically, what is your budget for making this 4 rotor? there's a reason there are more 3 rotors running around than 4 rotors. Not picking on you, I just want to shine the light of reasoning as it's significantly more than most people think. However, if you know how much it's going to be, carry on and keep us posted. We all love a 4 rotor project

Well i have no real budget I would do what ever it takes to make it. even if it takes 20 grand to do so. I am a tradesman (won't say what kind bc I don't want people I piss off to know wat I do, bc no matter how hard anyone try's we are always wrong/stupid in someone else's eyes) and work with a lot of machinists who can help me with turning the E-shaft and getting the lobs right.
I have access to all the vertical/horizontal mills, lathes, power tools, and presses I could dream of. I would go one but wats the point lol. There are a few threads on differant forums of people doin 4 rotor builds, so if I need help I can always go to those. The only thing I'm having a hard time figuring out is how to keep the EGTs down. Depending on my curiosity I might try ernie brink's spark plug hole idea and anyone who loves rotary has more then likly heard his ideas. But just like everything else in the world sometimes things just don't work out so I might have to go to a Cosmo 20b. But I'm going to aim to do a custom 26b first.

I know you have no budget you are a GDHSF. Also you bought an 8 and most likely still owe money on it.

If you had the budget for a 4 rotor you would not be asking on here about it that is for certain. You would take the cheaper route and buy a supercar of any kind because that's the kind of budget your looking at.


Take off hozer!
