HI Mark,
    I never did post a lot on the Renesis because for our purposes there really is not much difference between it and the earlier 13B.  Here are the main ones:

1.  The bare block weight is about 10 pounds lighter, mainly due to the water pump changes.
2.   The exhaust ports are in the side housings instead of the rotor housings so there are three ports instead of two.
3.    The 'safe' max continuous RPM is maybe 1000 rpm higher.  The best BSFC rpm is still the same at 5000 - 5600 rpm.
4.   EGT is about 100 F cooler.
5.   The exhaust noise is considerably less making it a bit easier to muffle.

That's about it.  The power and fuel consumption at any given RPM are the same as before in aircraft applications.  The other minor differences are internal parts that don't matter unless you are overhauling the engine.
