Bill- Mazda test engines!
What was the cost of transporting it to the USA - I ask this only as it may
help other builders.

         I bought my Renesis from the same fellow. Say "g'day" to Rupert
for me. :^)

         That's what Rupert charged me, but I had to pay shipping to the
USA and paperwork costs.

         It is gorgeous, isn't it.

         I liked the look of the fuel rails too. Nice coils as well.

         I bought the six port, but I just picked it because it is rated
at
a higher HP. I wonder if there is anything different internally?

         See if you can glean any more information about what they were
used for from Rupert.
