Question for the list. I've seen lots of numbers thrown out there as to how much power this engine is 'supposed' to produce. I'm wondering if anyone has some concrete numbers as to how much 'continuous' hp's one can expect at what rpm [what is the max continuous RPM recommended?]and at what specific fuel burn? Also can this engine be turbo'd? I understand from the Factory [in the Rx8] its NA.  Tracy's 2.85:1 unit should work on this engine??  As well as his electronic gizmo's? How far is this engine as far as weights [installed] from the 13B?  I've got lots more but lets start there. [Or maybe someone has a web link they can pass on that helps w/ these questions] I apologize if some are these [ I suspect they probably are] redundant.

 

Thanks

As far as I know, nobody knows the ultimate limit on continuous power from the 13B.  My guess is around 200 HP while retaining a long TBO. 

 

The 2.85 : 1 drive was specifically developed for the Renesis.   I just received the specs on the Renesis crank angle sensor and ignition timing so EC2s for the Renesis will be available before you can bolt one on your airplane.
