Tracy,
Is your Renesis turbo'd or normally aspirated
And why build from parts? Cheaper?

The Renesis is not yet widely available as a complete engine but
additionally, there were a few changes I wanted to make internally. Ceramic
coating on the combustion surfaces of rotors and a few other minor mods.

Forgot to answer this on the first pass. No turbos for me. 250 HP normally
aspirated will keep me happy.

I saw a thread sometime back that the Renesis rotary engine was available from
Australia for $4000.00 (US) plus freight...I don't know what the $ exchange rate
is.
Sorry, I don't remember the source.
Maybe some of you folks out there have a contact in Australia????
