I guess if you install the Renesis, you would be shocked at the "shaker" the Lyc would be!! :9

You probably replace it with:

a) Add turbo

b) Add Supercharger

c) P-port

d) Replace with 3-rotor

e) a, c, d,... :)

Subject: [FlyRotary] Renesis Applications

This is a question that could probably best be answered by Tracy but all comments would be appreciated. I originally purchased my built long block Renesis from Bruce Turrentine for my Cozy MKIV. I sold the project but kept the engine and am now building an RV-10. The RV-10 was tested with the Continental IO-360 @220 hp with satisfactory results according to Vans. I am torn between going with the Renesis to power the RV or just selling it and putting in the Lycoming 0-540 @250 hp Vans recommends. Bruce estimates my Renesis will produce 225 hp @ 6500. I know the Renesis performs well in Tracy's RV,,,,I just don't want to spend all the time and money into building and installing the Renesis and having to pull it out to replace it with the 0-540.
